the shower was a disaster, only steaming hot or freezing cold water running

I love the atmosphere at patarashca. The staff is friendly and it’s beautiful

I have been visiting several times a year for almost five years. Love everything about this hotel. Except in the last year, the nearby bars have been allowed to play unlimited volume until 5:00 am. It's now almost impossible to get a good night's sleep. A shame.

Checking in was a bit rough, as they would not let me in early but when I came back said that they had mistakenly put someone else in my room. I had to wait until 4:30 for them to clean up an alternate, and then move rooms the next day. They were nice enough to comp me the A/C, and didn’t charge for my laundry. The managers know some English, but desk staff doesn’t, so a little patience or some Spanish is helpful. Great courtyard with direct access to two decent restaurants where one can try Amazonian fare. Club noise (base beats) were quite audible in the room and lasted all night (Fri/Sat). Very close to the city center. Overall a good experience for what I was expecting.
