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.

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.

This property is such a a charming place to stay. Our room was down a few flights of stairs in an enclosed garden courtyard. Very pretty. When we arrived we were greeted with coco tea in their lobby while they got our room ready. The hostess showed us to our beautiful room whicb was nicely lit with ambiance lighting and candles. Our luggage was in the room ready for us. The room has a powerful full body shower and separate toilet area. The host messaged me through Whatsapp letting me know he was available at any time. We had a menu of choice for breakfast with options of where we wanted to eat and at what time so it was made fresh. The room had a safe, electri hot water pot with coco tea and muna tea. Very cute room. The only negative for me was that it's on an upward slope. I live at sea level so it was a difficult quarter mile walk uphill each time. It was very close to the main plaza where tons of restaurants and sightseeing abound. I would stay here again.

Customer service in this hotel is top tier. Beautiful quiet hotel with excellent beds and coca tea & water & hot water always available.
This hotel is located on an incline, maybe 5 minutes from the main plaza. In between the plaza and the hotel are several clubs so keep this in mind if you're a night owl. During the day, you'll find small grocery stores, restaurants and a laundry mat.
Organized taxi from airport is $12USD which left us at the door. But when we were picked up for a 5day trek, we had to walk to the main plaza. Not all taxis/buses will drop you off at the entrance because its a pedestrian street so keep this in mind during your stay.
Overall, my family of 4 had a great stay.

This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in! Manuel, our host, was amazing - he kindly met with us the evening we came in and gave us some very helpful advice about altitude sickness. He made sure we had taxis and the rides we needed to and from all our activities. Breakfast was prompt and perfect to get us ready for the day. What a beautiful hotel!

This is such a unique property. It was originally built in the 1600’s but has been renovated. They have maintained the beauty and charm of the building while putting in modern amenities. The staff were fantastic. Your breakfast is brought to your room where you can eat with a view of the inner garden and courtyard. The rooms were beautiful with the wood beams and stone walls. I would definitely recommend this hotel and stay here again.

Very large rooms, comfortable beds. Check in was odd, no reception. Had to ring bell for entry which is no problem until others are ringing throughout the night and morning. Showers are not for seniors, high step in. Had to walk thru crowded, noisy disco area 1/2 block from hotel. Service was great.

Rumi Wasi is Quechuan for Stone House. Not sure when it was built but it has the quaint rustic feel, aesthetic and style. While cold at times, you can kick up the heater and get warm if needed. The beds were comfortable and the showers were also nice. Additional toiletries are recommended if you’re traveling with your family. The service was excellent and the property owner is super attentive with concerns especially if you are a first timer in Cusco. I recommend coming to Rumi Wasi if you’re looking for a beautiful and affordable stay in Cusco. I also recommend if you’re not traveling alone and need separate beds to contact the property. My first night I had to share a bed with my friend even tho I selected separate beds (Expedia suggests to do this - not the property’s fault as I didn’t read the fine print). Also, the property is close to everything from shops, etc.

Rumi Wasi is a beautiful place to stay in Centro Historico. We booked the room with a rooftop terrace. Absolutely lovely way to spend the mornings, eating breakfast while overlooking the city. Manuel was easy to communicate with via Whatsapp. Flexible check in.

This is a beautifully restored 16th Century home that has been turned into a hotel. The history is easily seen in the architecture. Which has been maintained as they have modernized the building. The bathrooms are clean and updated while keeping the feel of being ina historic building. The rooms are beautiful. The breakfast was delicious every time and the staff were fantastic. I’d definitely stay here again.
