“Highly recommended”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2011

Great location and excellent service from a really friendly staff. Rooms were kept spotless (they even arranged our daughter's stuffed animals on the bed). Coca tea available all day for free. Beds were comfortable, only it was very noisy during the day from building going on next door.
Don't drink the coffee at breakfast- otherwise great food, especially the fresh fruit.

“Great hotel and great services”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011

First of all I have to thank the guy at the reception, he had been really helpful and of great assistance. They kept our laggagues while we stayed in Aguas Calientes for two days, furthermore they helped us booking the hotels in Aguas Calientes and for this I have to thank the lady running the Ruinas travel services (100 meters away from the hotel).
The room was big and very nice, the shower hot and full power. Great breakfast too.
Anything you would ask to a 5 star hotel I think.

“Would stay here again for sure.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011

Booked total of 4 nights here in April, stayed 3 consecutive nights, left for 3 night Inca Trail trek, and back 1 night before leaving.

Like many arriving from US and straight onto Cusco we arrived into Lima late and chose to stay at the airport overnight before leaving for Cusco early in the morning. Upon arriving in Cusco the hotel had 2 people there to pick us up just outside the airport (Had Hotel ruinas sign on them, not hard to find). Our room wasen't quite ready, and completely understandable because it's only 8AM or so right now, so we sat in the lobby and they brought us Coca tea. bout an hour later our room was ready and we got exactly what we wanted. Our room had 3 double beds, 2 flat screen televisions, Full bathroom with shower, safe, and small refrigerator. Free Wifi provided throughout the Hotel. I think we paid around $120 / night, good deal split 3 ways.

Room was clean, very safe and secure (they lock the main door at night so if coming back late you have to ring a bell outside to get in a different entrance). It's about 2 block to the main plaza in a nice neighborhood. There are a few shops and restaurants just outside the door but you've got everything you need in a 3-4 minute walk to the main plaza. This is nice, makes the place quiet at night, no loud bars or traffic noise at all.

In checking out before our hike they held our bags and when we got back the room was ready to go again.

Something interesting, no credit card ever needed to reserve the room. We diden't pay even when we checked out for our hike, they just said to 'pay whenever', so we waited until after our hike and stayed our last night, paid in the morning, no problems with the bill, they called us a cab to the airport (10 Nuevo Soles ~$4) and off we went.

Their English is not great, but enough to get by just fine.

Overall great experience, can't think of one problem. I'm sure there are more Luxurious options available in Cusco, but I'm used to staying at Marriott properties traditionally and had no problems at all with this place. Keep up the good work guys!

“We loved this cosy and accommodating hotel.”

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Ruinas before and after our Macchu Piccu trek (they happily stored our luggage for us while we were away). We found Hotel Ruinas to be great. It was in a very handy location, close to the main square, the staff were lovely, and our room was comfortable and clean. We requested a room at the back of the hotel as was suggested on this site, and it was really good. We really found the staff to be very friendly and helpful - they answered any questions we had and helped us any way they could. The care that they take of the hotel is to be commended as well. A very welcoming little place.

“Nice hotel with great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2011

Due to some of the turmoil going on around Puno we were forced to skip Puno and Lake Titicaca and rework our itinerary. We decided to spend extra days in Cusco. Originally we were going to be there for two nights but extended our stay to four nights. The rooms were quite comfortable and the staff were very helpful. The breakfast was good with great variety. The location is great, a five minute walk from the square and a short distance from the San Blas neighborhood. There are many excellent places to eat nearby including one directly across the street that serves an excellent cuy. About the only thing I could ding the property for is the meager water pressure. It made taking a shower a challenge. Other than that one little thing this property is an excellent choice for a few days stay.
