"We thought this hotel was a great place to stay. The location was good for us as it is very close to the ruins and the plaza de Armes (with many restaurants and shops). There are a couple of cute sitting areas which was nice for meeting up with other family members. Our rooms were next to the river with beautiful views. We were happy to have hot showers and a delicious breakfast in the morning. Plus the staff was very helpful. "

Casa Andina Standard Machu Picchu

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel very clean great breakfast"

NaturaLodge Machu Picchu

10/10 Excellent

"Wow, what a great hotel! The staff really genuinely cares about making a great experience (more on that later). What travelers in Peru probably care about most is this: Is there a good hot shower? YES, THE SHOWER WAS AMAZING! The location is right next to the main plaza but up high and away from any bar noise. One thing to note, there are plenty of stairs to get ip to the hotel entrance. But the staff was so sweet to us, helping accommodate our weird schedule and providing a carry away breakfast for our 4:45am departure to Machu Pichu. It's very close to the bus station too. The rooftop breakfast/hang out area was so excellent, with the best view in the city - almost made us want to order our meals for take away and eat on our favorite rooftop."

Hotel Ruta Amazonica Machupicchu

8/10 Good

"Clean room excellent and helpful staff location is right near the train station if you are looking for a quaint room on a budget this is your location. I am a vegetarian so we ate away from the hotel for breakfast due to lack of options market and restaurants near thank you staff for a wonderful stay it was much appreciated!! Also we could store our things for the day after check out …BONUS LOVE MACHU PICCHU!!!"

8/10 Good

"Overall the property was great and I would definitely stay here again when I return to Machu Picchu. I was really happy with this hotel. The room was clean and beds were very comfortable. Not many amenities provided but this is understandable being we are in the mountains. Staff was very nice and helpful. The front desk was not staffed the hours I walked by, but the restaurant staff could handle double duty if needed. They did meet me at the train station and escort me to the hotel. Which we above and beyond. As for the surroundings. There were plenty of restaurants and bars near by, lots of shopping and scenic tours you can do. This was a great hotel, I do recommend! "
