    The breakfast area is too small considering the number of clients.

    Our room sometimes had issues with the hot water. It took longer to get the water reach the temperature but this is comprensible since all the hotel in Cusco are old construction.

    The customer service. We were received by two girls that gave us good advises and very friendly. The majority of the time we were attended by Daniel who use to work at night and always was helpful and very professional.

    I wish our room doesn’t have carpet because carpet attracts dusty and dirty. I recommend rugs beside beds.

    The breakfast area was awesome! Plus good food.

    This was a 5 star hotel under a 3 star rating. The rooms were stunning and with the Inca walls I felt it was an added star or 2. The location was right in the center square and the room was a great size. They had a bath also so a good soak was welcomed.

    No key card for room - physical key was difficult to use and we could get only one. Breakfast ended too early (9 a.m.) No free shuttle to airport

    Excellent location right on Plaza de Armas - easy access to lots of restaurants, shopping and Plaza Mayor. Comfy beds. Plenty of hot water and friendly staff.

    Nothing but positive remarks! The staff at reception were always helpful with providing advice and answering questions and quickly addressing concerns. The bed was very comfortable. The on-site breakfast was more than sufficient. After long days of tours and hiking, it was nice to have this comfortable room to come back to! The hotel is located right on Plaza de Armas so numerous shopping and dining options are easily available within a couple of blocks walk in all directions.

    Everything, literally everything, was perfect

    This hotel is 100% perfect on all accounts. I have been using booking.com throughout the past 2 1/2 years as a digital nomad and this hotel unequivocally is one of the best I've stayed in. I can't say enough good things about Katari. From the gracious staff who genuinely want to make sure your stay is perfect, to the lovely old world charm of the hotel itself combined with newly remodeled and modern rooms, to the expansive breakfast buffet, to the lovely overall vibe...nothing is missing. The shower was big and had a rainshower with excellent pressure and dependable hot water, and the overall bathroom space large (which is welcoming since I usually have to store my tolietries in the bidet (hahaha), the sheets were exquisite, the bed incredibly comfortable and the decor was absolultely lovely. There are two closets and additional storage space, a dining table and lots of room to spread out. Free coffee and coco tea at various "stations" in the hotel and even a lovely living area to hang out. And, the location is ideal - just two steps from the Plaza De Armas but also off the plaza so it was quiet. I got a bad cold the night I arrived and the whole staff was so helpful, supportive and concerned for me. It felt like family. Maribel was a bright light of joy every morning, serving custom made breakfast options in additional to the buffet. She is the best - so kind, so gracious and spoiled us all with her wonderful character. She is a gift. Thank you all!

    Hot water can be patchy. Not terrible but not perfect.

    It's a beautiful building that is built on imperial style Incan foundations. There are Incan niches behind the reception desk! Super convenient location right in the main square of Cusco.

    Some taxi drivers are unaware of this hotel from the address, so tell them you want to go to Starbucks in Armas Square. Also, the taxis the hotel can arrange for you are half the price of ones you arrange for yourself.

    Excellent location for picking up tours and site seeing. You are in the heart of the action where this hotel is located. It is on the main square of the old church in Cuzco. The breakfasts were fresh and eggs/omelets cooked fresh upon request. Lovely set up and all the employees were very caring and helpful. A cautionary tale from me to you, DO NOT drink the local tap water. I am not sure where it happened but I contracted Hepatitis A during my 6 day stay in Peru. I did drink the tea... Needless to say hot water does not mean boiled water. Get a Hepatitis A vaccine before you go to Peru and save yourself the horrors of that disease...Other than that, my stay at this hotel was very pleasant.

    Be ready for some bugs/ spiders but it’s just unavoidable because of the area. Not hotel’s fault

    Great friendly staff and the facility is really cool. Feels like you live in the jungle
