Hotels near San Francisco, Cusco

We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Cusco for 4 nights total - 3 before our Inca Trail trek with Alpaca Expeditions and 1 night after the trek. We arranged with HGI to store our large luggage while we were gone for the 5 day/4 night trek. Very simple process to do this and all our belongings were kept safe and sound and returned to us in good order. Overall the HGI was a good place to stay. It is is about a 15 minute walk from the Plaza de Armas, uphill all the way. We didn't mind so much since that helped get us ready for our trek. It's in a quiet area. The Plaza is quite busy and noisy, and was especially the night a political rally was being held. I was glad our hotel was not right on the plaza that night. Rooms were a nice size. Our first room was a king-size bed with a view of Cusco. The second room had a view of the courtyard. Both had hot showers, room safe, blow-dryer, and toiletries. One thing to note is that the hotel floors are reversed from the norm. You enter the lobby at street level and then go DOWN to floors 1,2,3, and 4. Ask for a room on Floor 2 or below. Floor 1 is right underneath the lobby and we were kept awake by the sounds of walking, chairs scraping, etc. until quite late at night after we returned for one night after the trek. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and offered quite a variety of choices. The main reason we give this HGI only 4 stars is for the laundry issue. After a week in Peru, we needed to do laundry when we arrived at HGI. Yes, there are laundry facilities in the hotel. However, you can't just put in a few soles, add your own soap, and wash a load. Noooo, they have it fixed so that you MUST purchase a packet of tokens, detergent, and softener from them for a whopping 52 soles!! That's outrageous and taking advantage of a ”captive audience.” Well, not these guests. We simply bagged up our laundry and dropped it off at one of the dozens of laundry shops on the street right around the corner. It cost us 36 soles AND we supported a local, family-run business. Win-win. And boo on HGI for boasting about laundry facilities they actually charge an arm and a leg to use.

Such a great hostel! Really good vibes, perfect chilling spots and very comfy beds. I was with a group of friends but it would be good for solo travellers too as we met loads of people. Very clean and the staff are super friendly and helpful. They also have free yoga classes on Thursday and Friday mornings if you love yoga!! Couldn’t recommend more.

We spent a night in Cusco after a 3-day Sacred Valley/Machu Picchu Tour. The location is excellent - just a few blocks from the main square with plenty of cool shops and restaurants on the narrow cobblestone streets right nearby. The hotel itself was also very cool architecture with amazing views from inside the hotel (which is actually an outdoor courtyard). Breakfast was tasty with eggs made to order. Staff was also very helpful with directions and luggage storage. Unfortunately the windows of the room do not seal out any noise - it’s as if the window is open directly to the street. And Cusco drivers love to honk their horns at all hours, so unfortunately our sleep was interrupted. If I stayed here again i would bring earplugs!

Our stay at Casa de Mayte was incredible! The staff are very welcoming and speak good English. The front desk can help you plan and book your tours and guides very easily. The views from the 4th floor were just breath taking. You get to wake up to the sight of Cusco and its beautiful mountains every day! The place includes a delicious breakfast, nice fluffy beds, wifi, and everything else you might need. I fell in love with this place and would definitely be coming back soon! Much thanks :)

Excellent service and the best place I stayed in Peru. They kept my luggage for over a week while I went on an excursion and on my final day they let me stay from checkout until my flight late that night in the common areas use their wifi and washrooms. The front desk staff was very personable and thankfully for me spoke English.

The Samay Wasi was the best part of Cusco for us. We were scheduled to stay in other hostels as well, but dropped all of them in favor of staying at the Samay Wasi. We were there for seven nights. The view for one thing is unmatched in Cusco. The breakfasts are excellent. Price rooms are quiet and have nice showers with hot water. Bed mattresses are actually comfortable. Wifi is better than most hostels. The people working there are very friendly and helpful. The best of the hosts is James. He spent a lot of time in the US and speaks perfect English and Spanish. If your lucky, he will be the one picking you up at the airport. He is the man to talk to when it comes to tours and local things to do. He will take care of everything as far as that is concerned. Very calm, patient, and attentive. He will keep you on schedule through What’s App. My brother and his wife will be traveling to Cusco later this year and they will also stay at the Samay Wasi and rely on James as we did. HIGHLY recommend.

The hotel is located 15 minutes walking distance away from the main square. It is quiet and peaceful but provides excellent approach to the historic city. The restaurant brought out an impressive breakfast every morning, and it even has a local artisan selling crafts and trinkets. The staff is extremely helpful and were able to book several taxi rides for us (all of which showed up at the right time) while we were there.

My family of 4 arrived late after a long day of traveling. We were booked in a suite with 2 rooms and 4 beds. This was not the room they put us in. I ended up having to pay for another room with beds to accommodate us all. After the airlines lost our luggage, I was disappointed to find that the hotels Wifi did not work. We stayed 3 nights and had wifi one of the 3 nights. The staff was friendly and the free breakfast was great. The price was great but I was upset that we weren't put in the room I booked. They ended up moving us the 2nd night to a room with 4 beds but that room was small as well. I honestly thought about staying somewhere else but after a long day of traveling and the stress of lost luggage , we ended up staying. I will not stay here if I return to Cusco.

The gentleman working the desk got us checked in quickly on the night we arrived. He answered all of our questions and was very pleasant. The following morning, we had a wonderful breakfast and the lady doing the cooking was very accommodating and helpful. The room was nice and clean, so no complaints. The property was very nice as well. The morning that we checked out, the same gentleman called us a taxi and made sure the driver didn't make us pay more than was necessary. I'd definitely recommend this property.
