Several guests highlight good value, spacious rooms, and comfortable beds. Breakfast is generally simple and appreciated, though a few experienced confusion about serving hours. Best for travellers prioritizing value over full-service comfort.

El hotel en general estaba en buenas condiciones a pesar de que no se nos comunico con antelación que estaba en construcción. El muchacho de recepción fue muy amable y atento. Nuestra habitación no era igual a la que las fotos señalaban y la calefacción era solo por horas, por ende no calentaba. No tuvimos limpieza seguidamente.

My wife and I just wanted a safe, clean, cool place to stay in Cuzco and to serve as base camp given that we have two excursions planned. Kuska ended up being perfect. The room is big and had a great view of the main Square to view. It’s even better on the third floor common area. The four staff members that I interacted with my little Spanish were super nice and accommodating. They allowed me to store my luggage for 2-3 days while we were in Machu Picchu, and in the Amazon. If I were to receive term to Cusco, I would stay there again. The only thing that I wish would be different, is that they would turn on the radiator heat for a longer stretch of the day, then just from 10 to 4 at night while it was super cold.

Great place to stay, close to the plaza de armes but far enough that it is quiet. Rooms were a bit cold - radiator comes on after 9pm so overnight is warm.

Nice with reception and helped with taxi booking to airport. They didn't see I asked for airport taxi and wrote times we arrived, so had to write again as they asked. Also we specifically booked the place for late breakfast (10:00) timed for taxi and then 2 airplanes. We arrived for breakfast 09:30 but it closed at 09:30. The airport in Cuzco doesn't have a cafeteria/restaurant so for our long trip coming we only managed to eat an empanada. We even asked when we arrived if the breakfast was until 10:00 to be sure and said yes. In the morning they (another employee) said "no, it's only til 09:00" and that's it. Could have said sorry for the misinformation or something. I had to show it says 10:00 in Hotels.com. Then said it was 10:00 before corona pandemic. Not so service minded. The bathroom was ok but kind off moldy/missing paint on roof. Otherwise it was a ok place for one night after Inka Trail, close to city center but be prepared for stairs, specially if you have luggage.

The room was clean but it was super chilly inside. The heating only came on from 10-11 pm. The shower water was super inconsistent as well. Most of the time there was no hot water. Nice place but could be improved.

Adorei minha estadia, quarto tinha uma vista linda e o chuveiro era bem quentinho. Os funcionários eram muito atenciosos e educados, o café da manhã era simples mas preparado na hora e um suco delicioso de frutas frescas. Único ponto de melhoria seria podermos ligar o aquecedor do quarto de acordo com nossa vontade, pois os horários programados do aquecedor não eram suficientes e o quarto ficava bem frio.

Gostamos do quarto, espaçoso, cama confortável. So não gostamos do fato de nao ter telefone no qaurto para chamar a recepção, o chuveiro que nao esquentava direito, as vezes esquentava muito, de repente esfriava e a pressao da agua dominuia sozinha, tambem achamos ruima quantidade de escadas para chegar no quarto, se tivesse um andar baixo, mais acessivel, seria melhor

Overpriced for conditions and treatment. GOOD: location to the main plaza, easy to walk to. The owner is accommodating to arrive and arranged a taxi for us. BAD: VERY NOISY, you can hear night clubs thumping all night, you can hear people coming and going, very loud. Even had drunk couple fighting outside our door one night. The sheets and towels have obvious stains when we arrived, floor felt dirty and the bathroom had mold in it due to no ventilation. It did have lots of hot water which was nice. What we did not like was the owner accused us of staining his (already stained) sheets with a drink and gave us a 50 soloes bill.

We stayed here 2 nights in the Matrimonial Habatacion. This was a beautiful room on the 4th floor with beautiful views of Cusco. We were going hiking for a few days and we were able to safely store our luggage. Everyone we encountered was very nice and easy to deal with. We stayed in a Superior Double Room upon our return. This room was thankfully on the 2nd floor because we were sore after hiking. But, the bathroom in this room had a lot of mold in it and we had to keep the bathroom door closed. It was a big room though if you want to sleep a small family. We were with others who had rooms as well and both were nice and comfortable.

Basic hotel. You get what you pay for. The staff are very sweet and helpful. The biggest problem is 4 or 5 nightclubs within 50 meters of the hotel with loud thumping music from 6pm till 6 am every night. Ear plugs barely dim the sound. Owner should spend a few nights there to realise how big a problem it is

Great communicators !! Got us a better rate taxi from airport! Kept our luggage safely while we were in a trekking trip! Courteous all the time and cleaning our room every day! Good basic breakfast. Perfect location bcs is right outside the plaza de armad, but right next. Great view of plaza! Some rooms are better, much better. Is worth the extra. 🙏

The only thing that I wish would be different, is that they would turn on the radiator heat for a longer stretch of the day, then just from 10 to 4 at night while it was super cold.
My wife and I just wanted a safe, clean, cool place to stay in Cuzco and to serve as base camp given that we have two excursions planned. Kuska ended up being perfect. The room is big and had a great view of the main Square to view. It’s even better on the third floor common area.

Friendly staff and very good location. Breakfast was basic but good. They have a mix of fruits, juices, bread and you can ask for eggs.

Nice with reception and helped with taxi booking to airport. They didn't see I asked for airport taxi and wrote times we arrived, so had to write again as they asked. Also we specifically booked the place for late breakfast (10:00) timed for taxi and then 2 airplanes. We arrived for breakfast 09:30 but it closed at 09:30. The airport in Cuzco doesn't have a cafeteria/restaurant so for our long trip coming we only managed to eat an empanada. We even asked when we arrived if the breakfast was until 10:00 to be sure and said yes. In the morning they (another employee) said "no, it's only til 09:00" and that's it. Could have said sorry for the misinformation or something. I had to show it says 10:00 in Hotels.com. Then said it was 10:00 before corona pandemic. Not so service minded. The bathroom was ok but kind off moldy/missing paint on roof. Otherwise it was a ok place for one night after Inka Trail, close to city center but be prepared for stairs, specially if you have luggage.

Overpriced for conditions and treatment. GOOD: location to the main plaza, easy to walk to. The owner is accommodating to arrive and arranged a taxi for us. BAD: VERY NOISY, you can hear night clubs thumping all night, you can hear people coming and going, very loud. Even had drunk couple fighting outside our door one night. The sheets and towels have obvious stains when we arrived, floor felt dirty and the bathroom had mold in it due to no ventilation. It did have lots of hot water which was nice. What we did not like was the owner accused us of staining his (already stained) sheets with a drink and gave us a 50 soloes bill.

We stayed here 2 nights in the Matrimonial Habatacion. This was a beautiful room on the 4th floor with beautiful views of Cusco. We were going hiking for a few days and we were able to safely store our luggage. Everyone we encountered was very nice and easy to deal with. We stayed in a Superior Double Room upon our return. This room was thankfully on the 2nd floor because we were sore after hiking. But, the bathroom in this room had a lot of mold in it and we had to keep the bathroom door closed. It was a big room though if you want to sleep a small family. We were with others who had rooms as well and both were nice and comfortable.

The staff were very nice and helpful. Breakfast was simple but much appreciated. It's close to some nightclubs so you can hear a "thump thump thump" in some nights but very trivial. Located super close to the main plaza. Highly recommended!

Great communicators !! Got us a better rate taxi from airport! Kept our luggage safely while we were in a trekking trip! Courteous all the time and cleaning our room every day! Good basic breakfast. Perfect location bcs is right outside the plaza de armad, but right next. Great view of plaza! Some rooms are better, much better. Is worth the extra. 🙏

Adorei minha estadia, quarto tinha uma vista linda e o chuveiro era bem quentinho. Os funcionários eram muito atenciosos e educados, o café da manhã era simples mas preparado na hora e um suco delicioso de frutas frescas. Único ponto de melhoria seria podermos ligar o aquecedor do quarto de acordo com nossa vontade, pois os horários programados do aquecedor não eram suficientes e o quarto ficava bem frio.
