    Our taxi that brought us from Cusco dropped us in the town Square because he was unable to drive us right to the hotel because it is tucked up into this maze of cobblestone streets. We had to carry our bags to our hotel that was still about 3/10 of a mile away and uphill, which was tough to do because of the cobblestone. We should have called the hotel to have them assist us in getting our luggage to them.

    The property is quaint tucked up against the mountains and close to the town square and some beautiful site seeing is basically right at your door. Very close to the train station as well. Our room was perfect traveling with 2 adult children. There were 3 beds in our room with still plenty of room. The staff could not have been any nicer. Breakfast was delicious.

    My only regret is that I didn’t have more time there. After having just completed a five day Salkantay trek to MP, this was like an oasis.

    The beautiful property with a wonderful garden and mountain views is situated just minutes away the the center square. Quiet and secluded and just a short walk on a narrow cobblestone lane to restaurants, markets, etc. The Lodge is rustic, spotlessly clean, with very comfortable rooms and warm/welcoming staff. Fantastic value.

    Minor issue but we had a small leak in the bathroom.

    Fantastic location near the main area. Erica & Jamal (I think I miss spelled it) were both so helpful in helping us connect with a private tour guide/driver for Sacred Valley. They stored our luggage & the driver picked them up from the hotel & met us at the train station upon our return from Aquas Calliente & drove us to Cusco. Breakfast was good.

    It would be nice if they added screens to the windows to control bugs. The shower drain was slow and the vent fan could have worked better. Carpet could use replacing.

    Great location, view from room, and breakfast. Staff was very nice. It was a relaxing stay!

    Everything was wonderful.There is nothing bad you can say about the place.

    The location was amazing. The place is surrounded by beautiful gardens and behind.It is a huge mountain. We climbed the mountain behind it and looked down and saw our place. It is so peaceful.

    During my visit, I was the only guest. The staff was beautiful, the beds were comfortable, and the location was perfect. It was quiet and surrounded by a beautiful garden. I only had a backpack with me, so this helped getting to this location. The internet was perfect and I was able to hold audio calls via the internet.

    It was all positive.

    The Apu Lodge is a charming little place tucked up in the old part of Ollamtaytambo. It's a bit of a walk over cobblestones, but they will help you with your luggage if you need it. Our room was on the second floor, so we could open the balcony doors every night to gather the breeze and admire the view of the mountains and the ruins. There's a beautiful garden surrounding the lodge, with seating. Breakfast was made to order. If you're used to the Hilton, this might be considered rustic, but the peace and quiet and views made the experience in this lovely little town part of the experience.

    We had a lovely stay at this serene property situated at the end of a charming cobblestone street. The mountain views from the hotel were beautiful. We discovered this place four years ago during a day trip to Ollantaytambo and remembered it for our recent visit. We were delighted to stay at Apu Lodge this time and the staff was extremely helpful. They arranged breakfast for us very early in the morning before our trip to Machu Picchu. We will be back for sure next time we visit Ollantaytambo.

    During the odd season, the in-house pizza oven is not always running, but there are plenty of other options nearby, so it isn't a huge concern.

    Amazing views of the mountains, friendly staff. Quiet area, a little off the beaten path from central Ollantaytambo, but still only a 5 minute walk to the town square. Breakfast was always great. Water pressure and temperature were great. Wifi worked great.

    We had to chose between having the bathroom always wet (window closed) or full of insects (window opened). I suggest puting nets on the bathroom window.

    Turn off the outside light in the front of the building . It attracts bugs at night and I did not want to open that balcony door! Or is it on for security ?

    The Apu Lodge has a very authentic feel at the top of a pedestrian cobblestone alley in a quiet part of town. We were met at the town square with a luggage cart, and our suitcases were brought up for us. Thank goodness, the wheels might not survive the cobblestone Inca streets! The staff is delightful, and willing to help in any way. Suggestion: Be considerate and travel light in this country. Laundry service was available and dirt cheap for a great job. Breakfast was delicious and coffee ready early. Coca and Muna Tea and filtered water always available. Rooms were small but adequate for two people with luggage. We booked the family room on the second floor. It has four beds. The bathroom was small for four people, but we liked the roominess of the room. And it has a small balcony.
