Everything great place, great staff, great service, amazing location

Evan

Phenomenal service with very polite staff. Awesome pisco tasting at the restaurant before dinner. Beautiful views. One of the best things was they let us use their facilities to shower after we checked out and visited machu picchu and hiked machu mountain. Also a really good restaurant in the hotel. Pricey compared to other food in peru but not outrageous and totally worth it.

Nick

Very comfortable, exceptional staff, close proximity to ruins, set up to let one truly take advantage of the amenities as long as possible.

Dorothy

The service here goes above and beyond. It is excellent. My brother and I were upgraded to a suite. The property is absolutely stunning and right next to the entrance to Machu Picchu. They have showers for use after you have checked out, and have still hiked around Machu Picchu. The property is very relaxing and the food is fabulous. It's expensive and worth every penny.

Kathleen

The location of the property is amazing. I would only stay here if I return.

Erin

The staff are terrific, very helpful and friendly. The location cannot be beat- it is a harrowing 25 minute bus ride from Aguas Calientes to MP, not one I wanted to do more than once (or you can hike up). It was so relaxing to know that we were literally steps from the front gate of MP. The restaurant and bar are great - the food is excellent.

Deborah

Great location, ultra friendly staff willing to go the extra mile to make their guests’ stay as special as possible.

Let's start with the obvious: the location! Staying here means you are at the entrance to the citadel. You don't have to queue for a bus in the early hours of the morning, you don't have to queue for a public toilet, you can come for lunch or drop off a jacket or whatever in the middle of the day... etc. The convenience factor is through the roof! But, you're paying for it. That aside, staff service is great. Special mention must be made of Antonio who took such good care of me when it came to food and drinks and general advice for my visit to the citadel. The pisco sour tasting was fun and the live music at dinner was great (I had an all-inclusive package). .

“Best location for exploring Machu Picchu!”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
We came to celebrate my 40th birthday and notified the hotel a few times about this special occasion. But during our stay they seemed a little clueless and didn’t pay much attention to details. For a hotel of this level and price point we expected better attention to details. One of the ladies that works in the restaurant is a little awkward with her topics of conversation (her 1st was about a political issue in my birth country, not appropriate during birthday celebration while she tried to sit us at the worst table in the restaurant). Also the hotel’s response communication prior to arrival was very slow.
The location! You are right outside Machu Pichu ruins. So you can be the 1st and last to explore. We arranged 2 tours through Belmond, and our tour guide Bell was amazing. Food at the restaurant was tasty. We also booked their incredible train experience and staff at the train was very attentive and made us feel very special.

“Stay in Aguas Calientes if you can.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 2 nights
1 - It is ridiculously priced for the overall quality and even for the location. 2 - The carpete in the room is disgusting dirty. 3 - The bed is not so comfortable. 4 - The shower is way too tiny making it very difficult to take a shower. 5 - The shower door does not close all the away, letting the water splash all over the bathroom floor. 6 - The bathroom is constantly stinky even after flushing. It feels like there the sewer line is open right side the bathroom.
1 - The food is excellent and the eucalyptus ice-cream is out of this world. 2 - The entire staff is so sweetie and very friendly. 3 - The location could not be better. It is steps away from Machu Picchu. 4 - The wifi works well in the room.

“Extraordinary place to stay while visitng Machu Picchu. Luxury, delightfuness and legendary service.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
Belmont Sanctuary Lodge is perfectly well located to visit Machu Picchu. There is no better way than staying overnight at the site of the Inca Sanctuary at Machu Picchu. You go to sleep and you wake up in the morning with a magnificent view of those wonderful mountains that represented gods for the Incas. You can fully feel the sacredness of the site and you understand why the Incas built their sanctuary among those imposing peaceful mountains. However you also pay a high price to be able to enjoy all that peace and sacrosanctity. What you get on top are great comfortable rooms, ours had its own "front yard" where you could relax and look at the splendid environment. The minibar is included in the price. The hotel has a big green space which offers the possibility to relax outdoors on extremely comfortable sofas and chair lounges. The service is legendary and outstanding. The employees are aware fo the price you paid. The food at the restaurant is delicious, natural and authentic. The chefs offer a range of plates of Peruvian cuisine from which you can choose from. When you arrive by train at Aguas Calientes someone from the Lodge is waiting for you, he helps you buy the bus tickets and takes care of your luggage. At you arrival you are welcomed when stepping out of the bus and check in is made easy. The hotel arranged a tour of the Sactuary upon our arrival and another tour the second day to hike up on Huayna Picchu. Both tours were a delight and going up to Huayna Picchu was a fantastic work out. Our tour guide Ronaldo was extraordinary, higly educated and knowledgeable. We highly recommend Ronaldo. We also had an introduction to Pisco and a demonstration how to make a Pisco Sour. The lodge offers the possibility of using a refreshing and washing room after having done the check out. This was extremely nice and we appreciated taking a shower, refreshing and changing our clothes after our day's hike.
