Tambo de Montero 222, Cusco City Centre, 051 Cusco, Peru – Great location - show map
This was our favorite place to stay in Cusco! We traveled around Peru quite a bit, and kept finding ourselves returning here to stay. It has a very homey feel and the staff is so kind! I love the garden, the flowers are so pretty and colorful. It was also close enough to el centro, yet far enough that there’s no bothers with noise. The staff helped us with coordinating taxis when needed and we were able to keep our luggage there for free while we ventured to Machu Picchu. I highly recommend El Balcon as a place to stay :)

Great location. Walking distance to plaza de Aransas. Clean room. Hot shower. Good breakfast.

This is a less than 10 min walk from the Plaza de Armas. The garden in the courtyard is delightful. Breakfast was served with hot eggs prepared with your preference. The hotel managers spoke fluent English and arranged a taxi ride with no problem. The rooms are sparkling clean. It was chilly, but they had extra blankets. I also filled up my Nalgene with hot water from the restaurant which helped.

Breakfast was good and easy. Coca tea was nice to have.

The ambience, the friendly staff, the easy access to the city

Great location , helpful stuff, nice rooms with hot shower and a super delicious breakfast included. will book again any time

Great location, walking distance to shops & restaurants. Beautiful, historic building, lovely garden, great views.

Basic breakfast with no vegan options Very helpful stuff

Very cute and quaint. It’s technically a hostel and you definitely get that type of feel, except you have your own room and bathroom. It’s definitely no frills, so if you’re looking for luxury, this isn’t the place for you. But if you’re looking for a clean, comfortable place to lay your head, look no further. Location is great, just a quick walk to Plaza de armas and easy access to all the restaurants and cafes you could want. The food at the hotel was the highlight of our stay. The cook is a lovely Peruvian woman who feels like your favorite aunt or grandmother. And the food is spectacular. The quinoa soup is perfect for cool nights, and the pancakes are the best I’ve ever had.

Very nicely designed room, beautiful garden with fresh flowers, free 24h tea
