You can purchase your Machu Picchu entrance tickets the night prior to your visit at the hotel's front desk. They will have your tickets for you the next morning. This makes queing up for a Huayna Picchu climb very, very easy. Also, the provision of the day room with showers is really, really valuable for the day you depart. Take... more

We stayed here for one night and the first thing to stay is that the position of this hotel simply cannot be bettered. It is just 50 yards from the entrance to Machu Picchu and for that reason alone I would have to recommend it if you can afford to pay the exhorbitant price. The hotel itself is nothing special.... more

This is the only place to stay if you are visiting Machu Picchu. The rooms are not large but they have everything you could want...very comfortable beds and linens, all the amenitites!!! And the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful !! Plus the food in the restaurant was excellent. And you are right at the site. more

Very expensive, did not stay here, just had a very good buffet lunch, as it is by the main entrance to Machu Pichu. more

We spend one night at Sanctuary Lodge. Yes, it is very expensive, but we felt it was one of the things we had to splurge on since we had always wanted to come to Machu Picchu. We had heard that the hotel was a very expensive "Motel 6" which wasn't true at all. The rooms were not large but they... more

I went with a group of friends and did the 3 day hike to Machu Picchu. At the end, we stayed at the sanctuary and was so delighted I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Great service, magical location. It's expensive but everything is included. I had non-stop room service and tons of wine. You'll only do it... more

My friend insisted that we stay up at the ruins at the Sanctuary Lodge. I read the reviews but was still uncertain if it was worth the price. It is expensive but well worth it. The whole experience of staying at the lodge added so much to our memorable visit to Machu Picchu. The hotel sent a bellman to meet... more
