Reviews and Ratings
Staying in the junior suite was a delightful experience overall, offering a lovely and well-appointed room with the added charm of an open fire. While the room was not as large as some luxury hotels, it was still very pleasant. The service was attentive and helpful, although there was a slight musty smell in some areas. The dining experience was more than sufficient, especially with an early start time for those heading to Machupicchu. Overall, the hotel offered a serene and comfortable stay with great amenities.
The hotel offers comfortable and rustic rooms with beautiful interiors, but lacks a view. The service is attentive, although there were instances of staff appearing unhappy. Its location is perfect for easy access to transportation and is surrounded by lush rainforest. The dining experience is satisfactory with made-to-order options available. Facilities are well-equipped, providing a pleasant stay overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences and minor disappointments. The room, while spacious and clean with turn-down service, suffered from occasional train noise since it was located next to the railroad tracks. The service was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, making my overall experience enjoyable. The central location was convenient for exploring the area and enjoying the beautiful surroundings, but noise from the trains was a drawback. The dining options were fresh and delicious, enhancing my stay with flavorful dishes. The hotel's facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall comfort of my visit.
