The room was just what we needed for our family of 4 - comfortable clean beds and enough space. The grounds were very cozy and the breakfast amazing. They let us hang out on their lovely grounds while we waited for our taxi to the airport. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

This hotel was adorable and convenient to the entire historic district! The patio and breakfast room were wonderful areas, and the rooms felt cozy. Everything was very clean and the staff were very helpful whenever needed, including booking tours, reserving taxis, and storing luggage. They also offered breakfast to-go boxes for early departures, and went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome.

I was impressed with the kindness and cordiality of the staff , especially with Kenia and Suly. They helped and guided me with the different tour packages. La Posada del Viajero was the perfect place to stay in Cuzco for my family. It is very close to the Main Plaza and the rooms are a good size for a family of four.They offer breakfast and it was a good variety 😀 .

Great location and staff were very helpful. My only complaint is that the soundproofing was non existant and you could hear everyone around you. As long as people are considerate, its fine.

Our family stayed 3 nights here. It was in walking distance of everything - the main square, churches and numerous restaurants. Our tour for Machu Picchu left at 4am, and they were so kind and had a bagged breakfast waiting for us since we were going to miss breakfast. And the staff was wonderful - they even came to our room to assist in updating the tv so it would be in English for us. Would highly recommend this hotel. Wonderful staff.

The people at the counter are very nice. They pack you a lunch if you are going to leave on a trip very early in the morning which is really helpful due to most trips starting around 4 am. Coca tea is available for the guests, a genuine lifesaver if you get altitude sickness.

Very kind staff and excellent location. Great breakfast. This is an old building with a central courtyard. Rooms are not sound proof so bring your earplugs. We stayed 2 different times and some mattresses were great, others not so much. For the price, it was worth it.

This was a functionally good hotel for us. We needed a clean, safe, and convenient place to sleep and shower. This hotel did just that. The free breakfast was more than expected and the staff was very friendly.
The wifi was weak and I had to stand in the courtyard to get any service.
It is not a fancy place, but it is functional.
