I stay for a three night stay finding it very confortable, nice and trendy with all the conforts of a 4 star hotel. Almost new rooms with new carpets, LCD with cable. Its location is around a 10 min walk to the plaza de armas, not a problem by night if you prefer to take a cab in & out no problem hotel staff helps into that or you can call it yourself enough taxis on the streets. Recommended for the price i got 89 + tax per night

A building site - the sixth floor, currently derelict, is being remodeled. It will be nice when it is finished in a year or so, but now it is a cacophony of pounding and drilling from 9 to 5.
Staff try to overcome, but food is very ordinary and the location is not the best
If you like Sonesta, stay at their Posada Del Incas property in Portal Espinar instead

I did a lot of reviewing on TripAdvisor before reserving a hotel room in Cusco. There were only about 1 or 2 reviews at the time, but I liked the looks of this one and the price. It was recently remodeled to a very clean, modern looking hotel with comfortable beds and a great lobby. The hotel is a bit of a walk to the main square, but only about 10 or 15 minute walk. If you don't feel like walking because you've got altitude sickness or it's dark out, you can get a taxi ride for only 3 soles ($1.50 USD). Hot coca tea is served in the lobby/lounge area. A computer with free internet and a camera for Skype calls is there too. We weren't ever thrilled about the restaurant, but it was sufficient. Breakfast was free, but you had to pay for dinner (I'd recommend going elsewhere unless you're just not up for it). There's lots of shops on your walk from the hotel to the main square. We stayed here upon arrival in Cusco and then went on the Salkantay hike for 5 days. Upon return, we planned on staying at Hotel Marquesas, but ended up walking out (with quite a struggle to do so) because every room was filled with mold (something my husband is hypersensitive to). Note that most older hotels, although cool because of the architecture and style, did not have any ventilation which allowed mold to brew. We knew that Sonesta Hotel was free of it as it was new, so we took a cab for a restful night sleep before heading to the airport the next morning. Recommended. Oh, and they brought oxygen up to us for free when we were suffering big time from altitude sickness. Just call and ask for it.

My only gripe about this place was that it was too far from any of the action in Cusco. It's about at 15 minute UPHILL walk to the Plaza de Armas. It's not terribly uphill, but if you're suffering from altitude sickness, this might be a challenge.

It's very close to Korikancha, and the Crafts Market, however. If those things are important to you, this might be the place to stay at.

Breakfast was great, it's a huge buffet!
