Hotel Rumi Punku  

What a lovely hotel, small, personal and comfortable. The Rumi Punku is a very attractive hotel. Hidden behind thick walls the hotel opens to courtyards with flowers and fountains - a haven tucked away, yet close to everything Cusco has to offer. The rooms are simple but comfortable, all en-suite. Great location, two blocks to the main square in Cusco. A great place to acclimatise before starting our adventure on the Inca Trail. I would highly recommend it to anyone, good value for money.

The only thing I can think of is that perhaps they could improve on the breakfast service. Cereal, yogurt, fruit, meat and cheese and some cooked bacon. It was fine but the service was lacking, we didn't realise that you could get eggs, fried or scrambled, until after we had eaten on our first day. After that we knew the score so it wasn't a problem. Great coffee!

The staff is friendly and helpful and the breakfast is terrific. When we returned after leaving our suitcase for two days while on the 1 day/ 2 night trip to Machu Picchu, they had been placed back in our new rooms. There are four PC's in the small business center and wi fi in the rooms as well. We highly recommend this small hotel.

Great location to everything in Cusco. Very comfortable beds! Would definitely come back and stay here!

Hotel Rumi Punku was a nice budget hotel! I can't say enough good things about the staff. They were very friendly and accommodating, provided restaurant and other suggestions, and assisted in arranging tours and transfer to/from the airport. Rumi Punk really felt like home. The breakfast options were good, and generally included a meat, eggs, fruit, cereal, breads, and a variety of juice and hot drink options. Breakfast was served from 5-10 am, a perfect range for pre-Machu Picchu hikes and sleeping in. Rumi Punku's location was great - just blocks from great restaurants and main tourist attractions, like the main plaza in Cusco and museums, and walkable to historic Incan ruins.

The friendliness of the hotel staff, and the breakfast! Amazing location as well, close to the Town center. Safe area.

The heat didn't work the first day, but we were able to get prompt service the next day.

Well managed hotel We had an excellent room (Room 301)

Hotel Rumi Punku turned out to be everything we expected it to be. Very clean and serene hotel. Especially would like to mention Ifraen who helped us with organizing the trip to Machu Pichhu. It all worked like clockwork. Very good location and altogether great experience.

The manager was not as friendly as the rest of the staff which is unusual. Some rooms can be a bit dark but they are amenable to changes if there is availability.

The staff were very friendly & always willing to help. The rooms were very comfortable-very clean, the showers were always hot, beds were very comfortable & cosy. Was particularly impressed with the constant cleaning within the hotel complex & courtyard. Breakfast was great- enjoyed the best bacon & eggs in this hotel. No other hotel in Sth America could cook bacon & eggs like they could at this hotel.

Location was not too good.

Pretty close to the main square, nice staff and really good breakfasts. They were really helpful while we went off to do the Inca Trail. We had a very early start so we left our bags in our room for them to put in storage and didnt have to check out as we were returning after the trek. Our bags were left back in our room we came back.

I cannot speak highly enough of Jesus, the Manager at the Rumi Punku. We had to leave a few days early as my husband was hospitalised with altitude sickness and Jesus even came to visit him at the hospital and arranged a transfer for us to another hotel at a lower altitude in the Sacred Valley. He even accompanied us on the hour long trip to the new hotel. The staff that cook breakfast in the mornings are awesome and cook the best eggs and nothing is too much trouble. The tour organizer Efrain is very caring and goes above and beyond expectations to make sure everyone is looked after. Highly recommend this hotel. It is in a great location but is quiet at night so you can sleep well. The doonas are so cosy and warm. They supplied hot water when I needed it for a sinus condition I have that requires this treatment for pain relief.

It would be great to have some light meals available in the kitchen in the evenings and I am sure they would be fabulous just like breakfast. It is however not as issue as there are restaurants very close by and we felt very safe walking around in the evenings. It is not standard practice in South America, like it is in Australia, to have tea and coffee making facilities available in the rooms, but it would be great to have the option if it was required. This was still not an issue as there is coca tea available in the lounge are 24/7

Good location, beautiful courtyard, large, clean rooms

Very friendly and helpful staff who went out of their way to assist us. Good breakfast included. Beautiful surroundings and nice atmosphere. Close to shops and museums. Would definitely recommend.
