In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Service that goes beyond — Guests consistently mention staff who are proactive and generous—from arranging taxis to returning lost items.
  • Location in the historic heart — A short walk to Plaza de Armas, Qorikancha, and other main sights, with Holy Family Church right next door.
  • Comfortable, characterful rooms — Rooms blend colonial style with modern comfort, featuring good beds, quiet settings, and some with views over the hills.
  • Well-regarded dining and ambiance — The courtyard is a highlight, with live music at dinner, and breakfast is noted for its variety and early start.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities rating is modest — While the hotel scores well on comfort and service, the facilities category is rated lower, suggesting some amenities might be basic.
  • No on-site parking — The hotel doesn't list parking as an amenity, so you'll likely rely on taxis or public transport.
  • Pets not allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the right choice—the hotel is strictly no-pets.
  • Potential street noise in colonial quarter — Being in the historic centre means you may hear street sounds, though some rooms are described as quiet.
