    No complaints

    Comfortable room; we spent a few days here before and after hiking to Rainbow Mountain. The staff is really nice; they prepared a take-out breakfast for us at 4 am because we had to leave early. The shower had hot water, and the room was warm as well.

    The first room we had was close to the breakfast area and was a bit loud in the morning but the staff was very responsive and offered to move us to a quieter floor.

    The included breakfast was excellent with many options, including gluten-free items such as potatoes, eggs and yogurt as well as fruit, meats and cheeses. The beverages were also varied and delicious.

    Extremely weak coffee. Surprisingly early checkout time (09.00 a.m). Our view was a construction site. Our bathroom got very humid, since the only ventilation was a window into the hotel corridor behind us, so the layout was a bit strange.

    This felt like an authentic Peruvian experience - this hotel and this location is really great if you want to actually see the everyday Cusco, not just the tourist Cusco. Comfortable lounge. Good breakfast. Very nice staff.

    the room I booked was very clean and tidy. The only drawback was that I was facing a busy street and it got quite loud at night.

    You could hear the noise from the other rooms.

    We stayed here one night before trip to Machu Picchu and after that two more nights. We had a nice room with big bed. The location is good, nearby restaurants and a big supermarket. Short walk to the Inca train meeting point. Breakfast was okay. We were able to leave the bags in storage for one night because of the trip to Machu Picchu. The staff was really nice and helpfull.

    Breakfast plates were saucers so far too small to put anything on. Also if breakfast was busy there wasnt enough food out so had to repeatedly wait to restock and go back and forth. Also the room was not very well soundproofed so quite noisy from 6am onwards

    Good location only a 15 minute walk to the town. Friendly staff and good value for money.

    We stayed only one night but the hotel was clean with comfortable beds, warm bedding, and hot shower water. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. They packed us breakfast to-go bags with a pleasant assortment of breakfast items for our very early morning departure. The hotel offers 24-hour self-serve tea. It’s located a bit further out from the heart of touristic activities but requires only a short taxi ride. There are a couple of stores nearby for purchasing snacks and drinks. Overall, a simple but comfortable place to rest when you’re passing through Cusco city.

    There is no hot water in showers. This is an absolute must when staying in a cold place like cusco! It was one of the only reasons I booked this hotel before departing on a sleeper bus to Bolivia. Ended up booking a dorm bed at tucan hostel just to have a hot shower! I would have given this place a higher rating if it weren't for that.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Good temperature room despite no heating or cooling. Comfortable and large bed. Nice breakfast. Laundry services. Location a little far from the main square but didn't mind the walk.

    The breakfast wasn't good (after 2 mornings we bought our own food), there was limited hot water for tea, the hotel staff would not respect our "Do not Disturb" sign, depending on your room location you will always hear the 24/7 doorbell tune. They made copies of our passports upon checking in and afterwards left them unattended at the desk with easy access. I had to firmly explain why I am not comfortable with this.

    Principe III is in a safe location and close to a grocery store and market. There was a general seating area, 10-15 minute walk to the main area of shops, restaurants, churches, etc. and the rooms were very clean. Laundry service was affordable and easy to use. Good wifi.

    Great location for us as we were going to Aguas Calientes the next day - you depart from Wanchaq Station which is no more than a 3 minute walk from here. Coca tea on arrival was also lovely to help adjust to the altitude.

    hotel on 4th floor, property has iron gates and one needs to ring bell so that someone in reception opens iron gate. if you need hot water one needs to go to reception and ask them to turn on heater. i woke up in the morning to find no hot water. also note, hot water is only for shower, no hot water for sink. breakfast is average only good thing about breakfast is fresh juice. I don’t know if air conditioner works as it was colder so air con wasn’t needed but I tried remote couple of times and it didn’t come on. though I didn’t need air con

    The check out time is between 9:00-10:00am. since I took the night bus arrived the hotel at night, it’s early for me to check out in the next morning. There is a door bell beside the gate you have to press it to enter because the gate is closed. It’s on the left side of the metal gate. Then take the elevator to 4th floor.

    It’s near the bus station Wanchaq, only 2 mins walk. I took a night train + bus from Machu Picchu to Cusco. so I selected this hotel. Very convenient to walk from the station. I had a kings size bed in my room. There is window and hot water for shower. My booking also included breakfast. The front desk person Royert is very helpful. In general it was good for the value and people are helpful.
