We loved the architecture and atmosphere of this property. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when booking: The hotel is located on a steep slope. While it's easy to walk down to Plaza de Armas, the climb back can be quite uncomfortable. There isn't a proper lobby or a space to wait or relax. Breakfast is included, which is a plus, but the portions are small, with limited options. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed the terrace for breakfast on days with good weather, and Bruna's kindness and friendliness added to the experience. I’d recommend this property if you don’t mind the slope. However, for my next visit to Cusco, I’d prefer a hotel on flatter terrain.

Amazing, can’t fault it!!

Friendly and helpful staff with great breakfast that can be delivered to your room or in their dining room.

Awesome experience here! Hotel is a converted historic building, so there were limitations to having all the “modern” conveniences, but it was worth it. Really charming architecture and construction highlighting its history. Very clean rooms, bed was comfortable, and showers were fine. Even had a TV. Cool terrace on the top floor of the hotel to enjoy your morning breakfast. Hotel is located down a small dead-end street with very little car traffic. If you’re not used to the altitude, walking up/down the hills can leave you a bit out of breath. It’s a really short 5-minute walk to Plaza de Armas, which is a public square with many shops, church, and really good restaurants (my favorite was Ceviche Meat & Wine Co). The Plaza was a really nice place to hang out as it seemed to always be active with various activities and parades during my stay. The area felt pretty safe and I was never “concerned,” but it should be noted that there are quite a few bars/clubs located along the way between the hotel and the Plaza. They all seem to be frequented by really young 20s-and-unders, but they all seemed “well-behaved” and never bothered me. Service was excellent. Manuel was the best! He pleasantly accommodated our late check-in and really spent the extra time to explain everything to us, talk about the history of the building, and even emphasized the dangers of elevation sickness. He also arranged an early breakfast to accommodate our trip to Machu Picchu. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Rumi Wasi. The hotel is incredibly quaint, with a small but beautiful courtyard and a really convenient location just a couple of blocks from the central plaza. Our room was beautifully decorated, with comfortable beds; thick, warm blankets, and local artwork displayed in niches in the wall. We liked the room so much, we took breakfast every morning inside! The staff were beyond accommodating, responding immediately to every question and request. On our last day, we had to leave early for the airport, and they even packed box breakfasts for us to take with us! We really enjoyed our stay here and would gladly stay here again if we're ever lucky enough to return to Cusco.

The building, especially the courtyard, is beautiful. However the room we stayed in was a bit smaller than what we expected from the picture so if you have a lot of luggage, opt for the bigger rooms. Breakfast is ok. There are lots of coca leaves to make tea. The balcony has a great view of the city.

Great stop over in Cusco. Fantastic service from Manuel and Bruna. Really close to the square which has everything from shopping to churches sbd restaurants..even Starbucks :() It's maybe a 3 min or less easy walk down to the square. A bit of a hike up but certainly doable. Lovely room and a real shower with actusl hot water which is a luxury in cusco hotels. Only downside was a brick pillow. The heater was loud but bedding was nice and warm so all was good. Fantastic breakfast with many options. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful boutique hotel. The staff was accommodating and friendly.the rooms are comfortable and well appointed. Kudos to the staff. It’s a very peaceful place. Thank you for the hospitality.
