The staff was very helpful although they didn't speak English. I was able to use Google translate and WhatsApp to communicate effectively. The breakfast is included and very tasty. It's mostly buffet style however they also made omelettes according to your liking. The rooms are cleaned daily and the team and coffee station is always well maintained. Very quiet and relaxing.

The customer service was incredible and free breakfast was amazing so many choices! The front desk went above and beyond for me when I was sick!

Our stay at Casa Esmeralda was excellent! The hotel is gorgeous, and is located in a very convenient spot, without being too submerged in the bustle and noise of the city. The rooms were always kept clean by the staff, and the complimentary breakfast every morning was always delicious! Giara, the receptionist, is the sweetest! She was very gracious and helpful with anything we needed throughout our stay.

Nice clean hotel. Front desk great, room not big but pleasant, good breakfast. 18-20 minutes toPlaza de Armas. Hotel is on nice side street in an area that not particularly glamorous. Iglesia de Nuestrs Seńora de Belen is 5-10 minutes away.

We left a night early and moved to a different hotel. We advised the hotel of a feather allergy and what they were able to provide were 2 tiny throw pillows for me and my wife. The towels in the bathroom were tattered. The staff was rude, when I asked for an additional pillow case so I can stuff it with jackets to make my own. The shower did not drain well so if you took more than a 5 minute shower the water would overflow into the bathroom, not to mention you would be standing in 2 inches of water. The doorbell on the front door is not responsive and when we arrived at night we were stuck in this dark aly and they were not attending the phone number listed on the door to call for service. Lastly it is impossible to sleep here, you can hear EVERYONE on the same floor and above you, they appear to once have blackout curtains- because one window had them and the other did not and you have flood lights lighting up the entire room all night. The noise from the neighborhood, car alarms, and then from neighboring guest rooms is unbearable.

We stayed in the hotel for 4 nights, the room was very small, we barely have space to accommodate the luggage and the breakfast schedule was to short, around 8:30 am I’ve tried to pour myself a cup of coffee and there was none left, I’ve requested for one and they told sorry, no coffee available, no juice, no milk. Very disappointed.
5.0 / 5.0
Rooms are very comfortable, staff very friendly, breakfast was above our expectations. Due to its location is better to move using transportation to visit other places in Cusco.

I was only there one night between returning from Machu Picchu and heading back to Lima. But the entire place impressed me. It was beautiful! 12min walk to Mercado San Pedro. Eggs made to order at breakfast.

The accommodations were beautiful. The man at the front desk, Andrew was incredibly helpful and kind and spoke very good English. He recommended some wonderful places to eat and see. Really a great experience!

The place looks nice, the staff is very friendly, especially the lady who is taking care of the breakfast. There was an issue with payment by credit card. During payment I noted two times that I want to pay in USD. Nevertheless the front desk staff chose Euros during the payment process and a 3.5% fee of the credit card terminal operator (VisaNet) was charged. We complained within 24 hours at the front desk, but the employee assured us this was normal expected behaviour of the credit card terminal and there is no other alternative. I only found out at check-out that there is a step in the payment where you chose the currency (USD/EUR in my case). Please teach your front desk staff on how to use the credit card terminal properly, so you avoid unecessary 3.5% conversion fee charges. This issue spoiled the otherwise good experience

The scented plug ins were very strongly scented which combined with the altitude gave my partner bad migraines, other than that this was an absolute perfect place to stay with lovely and helpful staff!

This hotel is very beautiful. Small and tucked away on a quiet street it has a very quaint feel as if staying in someones home vs. a hotel. The entire place is very clean and I loved the coca tea set out at all times as well as the complimentary breakfast. They were also very nice offering to let us have breakfast the morning of our check-in instead of the next day since we had to leave for Machu Picchu very early in the morning before breakfast. The first night was difficult as there were dogs barking loudly in the street all night but that is not the hotels fault. Im glad I took a chance and booked them again for a few more days later in my stay because those nights were very quiet. Be sure to ask at the front desk if they can help arrange tours because we had several very nice private tours to surrounding ruins that we would have never set up otherwise. They also let us store our luggage before and after checkin. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel.

I’ve been working for the Tourism industry for over 25 years, travel the world all around and stayed in many hotels big and boutique. With that said...this is by far the best small property owner hotel I have never being. Everything, all around was the highest standards in the industry. I will not said anymore because I know as a fact that probably some of the readers will think this is a comment related to the owners, but honestly this is not. I strongly recommend this hostel!

Fantastic hotel, beautifully decorated and in a surprisingly quiet street, yet close to the hustle and bustle of Cusco. The staff were fantastic, and breakfast up to standard and beyond considering the price we paid for our room. They had free water and tea refills which was very handy since tap water is not drinkable in Cusco. The only thing to improve would be to have better curtains in the room, that actually block light. Still I would come back many times! Great experience.
2.5 / 5.0
Everything was incredible. The only very minor issue was that the heater wasn't easily controllable. Nonetheless, this was an incredible hotel that we even returned to after a day at Machu Picchu.
2.0 / 5.0
Lovely boutique hotel with excellent breakfast and helpful stuff.
Woke up the second night because someone did a tour through all rooms with a guest at 5:30 am - so ask for a really quiet room.
5.0 / 5.0
The staff was excellent, my room was very comfortable and clean- they provided a breakfast bag during days I left early for my tours- also they allowed me to check in very early at no extra cost, I arrived at 5 am in Cusco, it was a bless to have a clean and comfortable bed to rest after a long trip. I recommend this hotel 100%.
5.0 / 5.0
New, stylish boutique hotel, excellent value for the price. Compared to other hotels in the same rating category, this one is a rare find. Fantastic complimentary breafkfast and a great place to acclimate to Cusco’s altitude. I highly recommend this hotel.
4.0 / 5.0
Great hotel, so relaxing, smelt lovely and very clean. Great breakfast and staff very friendly. Only issue was knowing check out time- shown a form that said 10am, then was told by staff it was 10am but could check out at 11 am if we wanted. Then found the card in the room said check out is at 12, then asked another staff member and was told 12. Asked the next morning to the same staff member who had said 10am originally and they said 12! It was 12, was just a bit confusing.
5.0 / 5.0
New/ modern, great bed, bathroom like home, hot large shower, good continental breakfast plus make eggs. 15 minute walk to placa armas and all the restaurants, felt safe walking in evening since busy well lit streets. Quiet area 2 or300 meters off main road. Sofas away from lobby if need to wait/ relax... one of better ones I’ve stayed at in 6+ countries
