    There was a lovely garden area but the bar leading out to it didn't seem to be open when I was there (April), which was a shame, I'd have loved to sit out there with a beer!

    You can't really get a better location. Great value. My room was large and also had a fantastic view.

    Prime location overlooking the archeological site and a stones throw from the main square! The bedroom overlooking the stream was beautiful, we were there at the end of rainy season so the stream was flowing strongly which provided a continual, peaceful white noise effect as we slept. The rooms were comfortable with great hot water! You are walking distance to everything in town and our stay was very comfortable. Right across the street from Apu Veronica, which was the best restaurant in town!!

    Seemed the bathroom floor had too much hair left on floor from prior stays. I think they should mop bathroom floor better.

    Charming hotel with very comfortable beds, nice balcony with beautiful view of the stream, mountains and ruins. Breakfast was fantastic! Shower was hot and great water pressure after four day trekking with no showers. Loved the water pressure and temperature of water. Location is perfect!!

    Despite a couple of reminders, staff were not up, the outside door was locked and there was no packed breakfast for our 04:30 start to catch the train to Machu Picchu. However, they profusely apologised and I wouldn't let this put you off staying. But if you are on an early start for MP and require a packed lunch I do suggest heavy reminders the night before!

    Excellent breakfast. Great location. Friendly staff. Clean, comfortable and quiet room.

    Nothing. Had a great stay

    Needed a few days of clean green & not moving. Loved this little property & UNESCO town in mountains. Its just a short train ride to MP.  Perfect stay. Right in center but quiet. Had 2nd floor Delux King. Large room overlooking gardened running river area and Historical site.  Very clean property. Modernised room comfy huge bed with 2 relaxing chairs. Large shower. Front desk guys were very helpful. Upgraded Pervian Breakfast. Fruit yoghurt buns eggs cheese ham tomato Avacado juice coffee etc. Great location a min to everything. Next door one way chemist otherside a Local shop 50m to Square and wait for it. Just across tiny  Bridge was the best restaurant in our 3 month trip. APU Veronica. Train is a straight 10 min walk or a 2 dollar taxi ride straight down hill outside front door. Easy to do sites in Sacred Valley from here. Just grabbed a local driver to bring us up direct from hectic Cusco. About 45US.

    Breakfast wasn’t great, cappuccino etc advertised on board but no one around at breakfast to ask. Property didn’t respond pre arrival despite several requests. Once we were there they were helpful though.

    Very convenient for exploring the Sacred valley and the Ollantaytambo village. Close enough to the train station that it’s a quick walk.

    Certainly! "I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sol Ollantay, and it was truly an excellent experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm and welcoming. The ambiance of the hotel is charming, and the attention to detail in the decor adds to the overall inviting atmosphere. The rooms are not only comfortable but also impeccably clean, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The amenities provided were top-notch, and the breathtaking views from the room were an added bonus. What sets Sol Ollantay apart is the exceptional service. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is memorable. They are knowledgeable about the local area, offering valuable recommendations and ensuring you make the most of your time in Ollantaytambo. The hotel's restaurant serves delicious cuisine, and the breakfast spread is diverse and delectable. Additionally, the location is convenient, allowing easy access to key attractions. In conclusion, my stay at Sol Ollantay exceeded expectations. The combination of outstanding service, comfortable accommodations, and a delightful ambiance make it the perfect choice for anyone visiting Ollantaytambo. I left feeling content and would highly recommend this hotel to fellow travelers."

    We didn't realize that water is in short supply due to drought. On our first night they turned off the water about midnight. My husband was not happy with this as he had no water for a shower. After contacting Derek he was able to turn the water back on for us. Not a big deal, but the hotel should have alerted us so we could plan accordingly. Sol Ollantay Hotel and Sol Miranda Hotel are both operated out of the Sol Ollantay registration desk. Our first night's stay was in Sol Miranda Hotel. They moved us to a nicer room in Sol Ollantay for our second night. Some of our travelers preferred not to move and were fine to stay a second night in the Sol Miranda Hotel.

    We chose Sacred Valley to acclimate to the altitude and needed to catch a train there for our 104km marker Inca Hike starting point. Unbeknownst to us before arriving, Ollantaytambo town is an amazing living history Inca town with many of the streets and structures still with original stones and walls. The Sol Ollantay hotel is excellently located, just 1 block away from the main square, an easy walk to shops and restaurants and an easy walk to the train station. We found an excellent laundry nearby and they recommended a restaurant (not in the main square) that was so good we went there twice. They were able to accommodate our group of 10. Derek the manager spoke very good English and I was able to correspond with him via Whatsapp to make sure our accommodations were confirmed. He also arranged transportation for us from the Cusco Airport. Breakfast buffet was included with a good variety of food options. The second morning we left for the train at 6am, so they provided us with a boxed breakfast. The hotel has a nice lounge area in the center courtyard of the hotel. We left our luggage while on our 2-Day Inca trek to Machu Picchu/Aguas Calientes and then picked our luggage up on our way back to Cusco.
