This hotel is a gem, located a couple of blocks from Plaza de Armas, within the quaint network of cobblestone streets with irrigation canals. We walked everywhere, including to the Ollantaytambo ruins.
Our room was clean and spacious. It's not a huge modern hotel, so keep that in mind. The common areas are beautiful. We had our coffee in a charming courtyard full of flowering plants and a huge tomato tree. The terrace has breathtaking views of the surrounding ruins and mountains and is a perfect place for sky-gazing if the weather permits. We enjoyed the breakfast, with fresh local fruit and breads.
But the best part of our stay was the staff. They went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. They really did treat us like family, gave us advice on local places to visit/eat at, and even gave us all hugs when we were leaving. We left our luggage there after check-out, and when we went back to pick-up, Marcella at the front desk saw how tired we were (after our Machu Picchu hike) and immediately offered us some coffee and refreshments.
We had a great stay, and wouldn't hesitate to go back.
