Hotels near Catarata Socma, Urubamba

This hotel is known for its garden and views, but other aspects leave a lot to be desired. In fact, the hotel was quite disappointing. The hotel definitely does not meet the standards of a boutique hotel, as it describes itself. - rooms are ok, conformable, but basic. - PREJUDICED treatment by the staff. I felt a huge difference in treatment between European and North American guests and Latin guests. I had never experienced this before in a hotel and I found it very serious. - It definitely does not work for long stays or as a base for exploring the Sacred Valley, precisely because it is at the train station. The place has a strong smell of BURNING FUEL, and there is TRAIN NOISE all the time. You wake up and go to sleep to the sound of whistles, which is very chaotic and unpleasant. - There are other much better options in the city. - It is about 10 minutes from the center, with a reasonable climb. And you have to wait in lines of train passengers to get into your hotel every day. - Breakfast is REPETITIVE AND WITHOUT VARIETY. Simpler hotels in the area had infinitely better coffee. However, it seems to be standard for the hotel, a jacket that other guests have complained about in past reviews and nothing has been done. They say they will improve in the responses to reviews and nothing has changed. - Professional staff, but IMPATIENT AND IRRITATED. They are resistant to simple requests. - I asked for computer at the reception to view a personal document that can only be accessed via computers. They did not allow me to use it, and there was no other available for guests to use. - A hotel of this value has no amenities whatsoever, only soap. There is no shower cap, skin moisturizer, cotton wool. I have never seen this in hotels that classify themselves as ”boutique”.

I stayed 4 nights in this small(I think 15-20 rooms) hotel in October,2021. The main square ,where are the restaurants and cafes and tour services,is a 30 -second walk,yet the hotel is quiet.The only noise is from the gushing stream that passes by the side of the hotel.My room had a balcony that overlooked this stream. I slept with the balcony door wide open.Good bed,ample hot water. In my walks I saw more luxurious hotels in this historic,charming,walkable town but they appear to require a trek up the hill 10-15 minutes on foot. The staff was gracious,humble and very helpful.Dereck (manager?helped out with taxis and travel suggestions.English-speaking,fun-loving guy. The hotel is basic,no luxuries-but very clean,safe and perfectly located.I loved it there!

Good environment, good location, you can take the train directly to Machu Picchu at the hotel. The room is large, with Walk In Closet. Good service.

Firstly I will start with the positives, the hotel was nice with beautiful greenery surrounding. The decor certainly wasn’t modern however it was perfectly fine. Secondly the negatives, customer service was inadequate. Two of us are vegetarian and one morning we had to leave before breakfast opened so were told we would have ‘takeaway breakfast’. We clarified that these would be vegetarian three times (at checkin, the night before and in the morning when collecting the bags) but when we got on our journey we found they both contained ham. This is absolutely unacceptable and I hope they treat allergens more seriously or they could kill someone. When we mentioned this to the receptionist she just smiled and nodded and said ‘oh okay’, which is not an acceptable response. Also you have to pay for water here which we were absolutely fine with. When we bought a second lot on the second day we realised we had paid double the amount the previous day. When I said this to the receptionist again she just nodded and after a long pause said she would call someone. Other members of our tour group also agreed they had paid double the price the previous day. The following morning the receptionist was extremely rude and told us we were lying. She also told us, in a borderline threatening manner, that everything we do is on camera which is a bit weird given we were in a hotel so hoping she didn’t mean ‘everything’ as that’s a gross invasion of privacy. When we asked to watch the camera footage she was speaking of she told us it wasn’t available. The amount of money was not significant but the reaction of staff was wholly inappropriate - especially for a hospitality business. Overall would not recommend anyone stay here. Customer service skills require a lot of improvement.

This is a peaceful hotel in Urubamba in the Sacred Valley, about 10-15 minute walk into the town, restaurants and shops. It’s a beautiful setting, surrounded by mountains and with pretty gardens. The reception staff are very helpful. For what is described as a four star hotel, the rooms felt a little small, dark and sparse, but maybe that’s the point of an ex Monastery. We felt they could have provided more outside seating in the gardens to take advantage of the setting.

This hotel pulls WAY beyond its claimed 3-star rating. Think 5-stars. It’s that special. There seems to be an older part of the hotel—perhaps a historic nunnery?—but the majority of the complex appears more contemporary, albeit with an architectural style sensitive to the ambiance of the older buildings. To our surprise, we had what I believe was a superior suite. It was an awesome space, with a beautiful sitting area, a spacious bedroom, a bathroom with a huge walk-in shower with two rain shower heads, even a dining table and a small kitchenette with a wet bar, refrigerator and microwave. The suite was immaculate and in flawless repair. The king size bed was very comfortable and the room was silent, resulting in excellent sleep quality. It was a pleasure to wander the gorgeous grounds. I wasn’t enamored by the local women invited to sell their goods, but at some level they were charming rather than intrusive. The alpacas that helped keep the grounds trim were simply adorable. The breakfast buffet was excellent, with a wide selection of well-prepared options, including made-to-order omelets. We ate once at their Italian restaurant for a casual dinner and enjoyed a tasty and reasonably priced pizza. This hotel is wonderful. Think 4-4.5 stars, and you won’t be disappointed.

The rooms are small but well appointed. They are very helpful but only speak Spanish. We stayed in a room we were quoted as 40 USD but I paid in Soles. The conversion was fair. There is a standard charge 5 percent to use your credit card. It was very clean and the staff was very helpful but June nights are cold by the river and there was no heater remaining when we asked. The bathroom was nice with a big shower and beautiful sink. Just had to step up to get from the room to the bath. Pics are from AFTER we used the room. It was clean and made up when we arrived. Meant for one but big enough for 2 people. I didnt find it noisy and the upstairs patio was a great place to rest after checkout before the train. Wifi was solid and the staff had great advice! Great It location. It was midway to the hot spring and the train. In the morning away from the lines but direct path and very ose to the bus to Machu Picchu.

Ctrip showed 12 o'clock to stay, and at 1:30 pm, the hotel was told that the house was not ready and needed 3 o'clock. We went out with our luggage and went back at 4 o'clock. The house was not ready yet, and I immediately changed it, but from the fifth floor, there was a balcony with six floors and no balcony. It doesn't matter, the quilt in the key room is still tidal, and the hotel is painting and the room smells in the past few days. Also found the front desk brother finally gave a free upgrade to the suite to solve. Breakfast starts at 5 o'clock, more common, bread milk juice fruit. The hotel should be the highest position in the town, but not too far away, the town is not big, the window is facing a mountain, it is mountain view
