"A budget hotel near the Plaza de Armes. The staff were pleasant and friendly. Decent free breakfast. Reasonably quiet. Showers were cool, not sure if we were doing something wrong as we didn’t check with the staff. Overall if your standards are ok with just the basics for a low price then this is good value for your $."

5/5 Excellent

"This hotel is very close to the center of Cusco but far enough away not to be disturbed by crowds or traffic. The staff are extremely attentive and friendly. The rooms were spotless and had everything we needed. The buffet breakfast had wonderful options and great availability to allow early eating for those heading out early for sacred valley hiking. "

Comfortable room and great location.

"We had a wonderful stay at Casa Cruz Verde. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable and the location is great, close to all the major attractions and very walkable. Johan and his father were very helpful and accommodating, offering recommendations for restaurants nearby and making packed breakfast when we had early morning guided tours. Highly recommend!"

Great place at top of San Blas

"This is a lovely little place run by the nicest people. The rooms are comfy and spacious. The staff was so helpful. The neighborhood is relatively quiet with lots around to see and do. Just know that it is at the top of San Blas. The Plaza De Armas is down the hill and it’s one crazy steep hill. Getting to the plaza to the hotel is a difficult walk. If you are not healthy or have any issues getting around I wouldn’t stay here as we are relatively healthy but struggled to get up the hill some days. But if you can handle the hike up it’s well worth it to stay here. "
