La Posada Del Viajero

It was in a perfect location! Walking distance to everything you need to see while in Cusco. Excellent restaurants within 2 block radius as well. The breakfast buffet is great, including eggs and ham, much needed protein before hiking Rainbow Mountain or Inca Trail. To go breakfasts ordered the night before were equally delicious! Nice courtyard and lobby area to hang out with friends.

Avoid Room 101 for 4-5 guests as it is close to the lobby and breakfast area. It gets a little noisy. There is usually guest traffic anywhere from 3-7am with departing treks and arriving international flights. However, it was worth it to stay in a quaint value hotel instead of an expensive chain.

The premises was located in the heart of Cusco and there were many shops restaurants and activities nearby. On arrival the staff were friendly and efficient. Our room was really cosy and clean. . There was a safe supplied and wardrobe space. All our basic needs were fulfilled. The shower was super powerful and steaming hot exactly what we needed after our travel. Breakfast was adequate fresh and simple. The hostel felt safe and I would definitely recommend it to female travelers. If I visited Peru again I would definitely stay here and recommend it.

However it was cold in the room at night at times and the single heater wasn't adequate. But it's an old building and I understand that Central heating would be hard to install.

My family of 4 loved the large rooms. We stayed 3 nights and each day they cleaned our room and provided more toilet paper. The front desk was extremely helpful. We booked a private car to take us around on a city tour for 110 soles which lasted 6 hours. However, we found other tours cheaper near the square such as the Rainbow Mountain tour for 50 soles per person. If you let them know the night before that you won’t make breakfast, they will pack you a to go lunch. We did laundry twice while here for a fee but it was very convenient and we got everything back! The breakfast was so so but comparable to other places we’ve stayed throughout Peru so it’s probably just that we are use to American breakfasts. Overall, great stay and wonderful, quiet location near all!
