Rooms here are all fitted with a private bathroom with free toiletries, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a minibar with complementary bottled water, an electric heater and hot water with variety of teas and coffee. Some rooms have a sofa. Daily maid service is provided.

Friendly family business. The children help with translation as parents speak very little English. They allowed us to store our bags in the room and had late check out. Breakfast was simple but sufficient. Blankets were heavy and at least 4-5 layers thick. I liked it but my hubby didn't. Great location.

Casona La Recoleta is located in the centre of Cusco, close to San Blas Church and Religious Art Museum. Casona La Recoleta offers independent apartments that can fit up to 6 people. Fitted with a garden, the apartments feature a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with shower, chimney and a full equipped kitchen and living room.

Everything was exceptional at Casona La Recoleta. We arrived late and Agustin received us at the front desk, gave us thorough explanation of the place and gladly gave us water to drink and said we could pay him later (as we didn't have local currency at the moment). He started the fireplace in our room so we could be warm. The room was amazing, we rented a family cabin style room, with living room, kitchen, two full bathrooms, bedroom and upstairs area with 3 more beds. The place was even better than in the photos. The balcony had a fantastic view of the garden, the mountains and Cusco. The cabin was cozy, very well decorated, super clean and had plenty of blankets. Breakfast is included in the rate. As we had a kitchen and fridge, we had everything we needed for breakfast: eggs, cheese, yogurth, plenty of fresh fruit and avocados, fresh bread, coffee, sugar. I can't express how amazed we were of the amount and quality of food. Every day they replenished what we ate. It was great to be able to have breakfast with the family in the cozy cabin. Every night Agustin or Edy would come and start the fireplace for us. Nuria at the front desk (manager/owner?) was fantastic as well. She helped us with our requests, went above and beyond and was extremely friendly. The location could not be better, just a few minutes walking from the Plaza Mayor and plenty of restaurants, laundromats, stores, coffee shops around. I recommend this place to everyone going to Cusco. If I ever go back to Cusco I would stay at Casona La Recoleta, it was truly like staying at home. Thanks!

    Stylish, clean and well designed around a circular central stairway. Stunning views eacross the city from the cute little front garden, the windows and balconies of most rooms and from the good sized roof terrace, with chairs and sofas. The staff were happy and keen to help. hot water bottles brought to your room every evening! On-site dining was good and rooms cleaned every day. Reception provides an attractive and comfortable option as somewhere to sit. Tasteful, cool music plays much of the time to add to the relaxed atmosphere.

    This is a beautiful hotel with genuinely welcoming staff. The interior design succeeds in being authentic and quirky and quality - a tough combination and done with real flair. The spa bath is super-noisy, so we only enjoyed it for a minute before deciding to spare other guests (we arrived extremely late). Lovely service, and there's even a huge oxygen cylinder in the dining room. (And there's even a microfibre towel alongside the hair dryer)
