What guests think
This hillside hotel offers wide city views and a budget-friendly base, but access involves steep walks and many stairs; noise can carry indoors, and breakfast skews simple with mixed feedback on variety and takeaway options.
It’s walkable to Plaza de Armas and near Sacsayhuamán, but reaching the property by car can be tricky and some guests found it hard to find. Service is frequently praised for helpfulness, luggage assistance, and flexibility like early check-ins and luggage storage, though a few reported billing disputes or unhelpful responses. Rooms tend to be small and older with firm beds, and heating or AC is not standard, though warm blankets are provided. Overall, Ayenda Casa Escondida San Cristóbal Premium suits travelers who value views and price over easy access and amenities.

Staff was outstanding. Helped us with all our luggage, getting up and down the stairs, called taxis for us, arranged for a visit to the hospital for my friend, who had broken her wrist. I cannot say enough about the quality of the staff.

No TV, no safe bock box, area is very noisy, not the cleanest place. Dropped towel on first night on floor and owner told me that I was gonna have an extra charge due to the towel being dirty. At check out she charged me $15 to launder her cheap towel.

The hotel was difficult to find as it was in a back alley that was not accessible by cars. If you have any issues climbing Hills, this is not the stay for you. It was difficult to navigate to and difficult to navigate inside as it was not a standard layout and had multiple floors each with its own lobby. Staff were friendly and provided good service. The view from the small window in our room was nice but there was no heating or AC so you're stuck with what the temperature is outside and some blankets.

The neighborhood had parties every night and would block the streets for taxis to drop or pick up. Property is super noisy, old amenities and the owner tries to charge you extra for dirtying a towel. She tries to rip you off anyway she can. You can hear everything from the rooms next door and the amount of steps are ridiculous. It would be nice to know that this property is like a maze full of stairs for people who are handicapped, especially since there’s no elevator.

The hotel was a little difficult for our ride to locate. Once inside, it felt like a maze. We were able to find our way after the first night. The staff were friendly and very helpful. They took care of our laundry and were very prompt. highly recommend.

I fell in love with this place. It's like an old colonial house. The staff is wonderful, very attentive and friendly. The rooms are small and quite old, so don't expect too much. But they are quite comfortable and clean. Breakfast was included and they cleaned the room everyday. For the price, it's a steal. There is no heating, and it can get noisy if other guests are coming and going. But they do give you very warm blankets. Other than that, I was extremely happy with my stay.

It's up-up-up-up, we took a taxi every time we were coming back to hotel. Don't believe 10 min on google. It's up 45° hill, if you are fat like me (6ft, 260#), forget this hotel. The interior is nice, the staff is accommodating. Bad is clean and has worm blankets. Rooms are small, good for base camp, that's what we needed. Breakfast is late, 7am, morning tours start at 4am and 6 am, but you will get sandwich when you tell the front desk night before. No drinking water in the room, but you can get one for 2 soles at the desk. No coffee in the lobby, only coca tea, and other tea. Here is the worst, the toilet is so close to the wall you can't take sheet, it's very uncomfortable, bathroom is small and I cut my self coming out of the shower on the sliding door. Need to run the water for a while to get to the worm state. Walls are so thin, you will hear everything in the hotel. They should have sign to tell people that going out early in the morning to be quiet. Unfortunately I will not recommend this hotel, even after they replaced the key to the room that was stolen from me for free. Which was not their fault and they could charge me for it. The sandwiches are good, they are appreciated when on the bus for 2 hours.

Me encantó la estadía en el hotel, no solamente lo limpio y lo como de las habitaciones, pero Reynaldo fue muy amable me ayudó a comprar mi pasaje de regreso a Lima y me explicó la historia de cómo reconstruyó la casa de su abuelita y como la convirtió a un hotel siendo la casa de su abuelita Irma y por eso se llama así. I love the stay in the hotel not only for the clean and the comfy of the room but Reynaldo the manager was very kind and help me to get my bus ticket to Lima he was so kind and helpful and also told me the story of how he rebuild of his grandma house that now is Casa Irma Hotel since was his grandma house destroy on a previous earthquake, hands down was a great experience and no doubt to recommended and stay again. Great area, great hotel and great people! Thank you

This was easily one of the best places I have ever stayed! The staff was so sweet and accommodating. We had an issue with our flights and ended up getting into Cusco 4 hours before our scheduled check in, but they let us check in anyways and let us get breakfast. It is perfectly located where it’s not too far from the Plaza de Armas but not too close. It sits a pretty steep walk uphill, but I honestly preferred it because the view from our window looked over all of Cusco. It’s stunning!

It was okay. I would say a 6 or 7 average property. We decided not to have breakfast most days because it was so bland. One egg, bread, ham and cheese every day with coffee or juice. Pillows were small and thin but beds were okay and warm. I would not stay here again but it was okay for the time being. Only offered shampoo and soap.

Completamente frustrada! Experiência pessima… tive alguns problemas no hotel: de descobrir que me alocaram num quarto inferior ao que reservei e paguei. Infelizmente descobri no meu último dia… quando fui tentar resolver de forma amigável o hotel me disse que não ia fazer nada e que eu que deveria ter visto isso no primeiro dia. Ainda tentaram me fazer de boba dizendo que eu estava enganada. Também tive um problema de vazamento no vaso sanitário que foi avisado no primeiro dia e simplesmente ignoraram. Tb disseram ter secador no banheiro, mas não funciona. O café da manhã é muito inferior… melhor q na tivessem. O lanche que dizem ter para os passeios é vergonhoso, um sanduíche pouco recheado e SÓ. Enquanto outros hotéis fornecem um box generoso. Para ser ruim precisa melhorar muito. ser Rui

The hotel was a little difficult for our ride to locate. Once inside, it felt like a maze. We were able to find our way after the first night. The staff were friendly and very helpful. They took care of our laundry and were very prompt. highly recommend.

Location
Set high near Sacsayhuamán, it’s a 7–15 minute walk to Plaza de Armas downhill, with a steep return; access by car can be tricky and several guests found it hard to locate. Many appreciated the city views.

El lugar y servicio al cliente es muy bueno. Queda lejos de la ciudad, del centro. Es bastante alto y hay que subir y subir caminando o pagar un taxi cada vez que salgan para que los devuelvan.

The hotel was difficult to find as it was in a back alley that was not accessible by cars. If you have any issues climbing Hills, this is not the stay for you. It was difficult to navigate to and difficult to navigate inside as it was not a standard layout and had multiple floors each with its own lobby. Staff were friendly and provided good service. The view from the small window in our room was nice but there was no heating or AC so you're stuck with what the temperature is outside and some blankets.

Proximity to Saqsaywaman is great .. simple place that matches the cost .. breakfast variety could improve .. I had some concerns with altitude and the staff were excellent at helping me out.

A nice hotel! The rooms are a little small. While it is fairly easy to walk downhill from the hotel to the Plaza de Armas, the walk back up is strenuous, which often required us to take a taxi. The hotel itself is aesthetically appealing, and staff is very helpful.

Dining
Breakfast is simple and repetitive for several guests, though others liked the traditional offerings. Early takeaway sandwiches are available on request, but quality and consistency vary.

It's up-up-up-up, we took a taxi every time we were coming back to hotel. Don't believe 10 min on google. It's up 45° hill, if you are fat like me (6ft, 260#), forget this hotel. The interior is nice, the staff is accommodating. Bad is clean and has worm blankets. Rooms are small, good for base camp, that's what we needed. Breakfast is late, 7am, morning tours start at 4am and 6 am, but you will get sandwich when you tell the front desk night before. No drinking water in the room, but you can get one for 2 soles at the desk. No coffee in the lobby, only coca tea, and other tea. Here is the worst, the toilet is so close to the wall you can't take sheet, it's very uncomfortable, bathroom is small and I cut my self coming out of the shower on the sliding door. Need to run the water for a while to get to the worm state. Walls are so thin, you will hear everything in the hotel. They should have sign to tell people that going out early in the morning to be quiet. Unfortunately I will not recommend this hotel, even after they replaced the key to the room that was stolen from me for free. Which was not their fault and they could charge me for it. The sandwiches are good, they are appreciated when on the bus for 2 hours.

It was okay. I would say a 6 or 7 average property. We decided not to have breakfast most days because it was so bland. One egg, bread, ham and cheese every day with coffee or juice. Pillows were small and thin but beds were okay and warm. I would not stay here again but it was okay for the time being. Only offered shampoo and soap.

Completamente frustrada! Experiência pessima… tive alguns problemas no hotel: de descobrir que me alocaram num quarto inferior ao que reservei e paguei. Infelizmente descobri no meu último dia… quando fui tentar resolver de forma amigável o hotel me disse que não ia fazer nada e que eu que deveria ter visto isso no primeiro dia. Ainda tentaram me fazer de boba dizendo que eu estava enganada. Também tive um problema de vazamento no vaso sanitário que foi avisado no primeiro dia e simplesmente ignoraram. Tb disseram ter secador no banheiro, mas não funciona. O café da manhã é muito inferior… melhor q na tivessem. O lanche que dizem ter para os passeios é vergonhoso, um sanduíche pouco recheado e SÓ. Enquanto outros hotéis fornecem um box generoso. Para ser ruim precisa melhorar muito. ser Rui

The hotel was as described. None of the reviews I read before booking said it was an uphill walk on cobblestone streets and cobblestone stairs from Plaza de Armes. Although it is close, it took nearly an hour with rest stops to catch my breath at the high altitude to get back to the hotel. Although it said 24 hour free airport shuttle they arranged a taxi for us but we had to pay for the service.

The property was difficult to navigate, it has so many floors inside, it’s like a labyrinth, I booked the hotel from the US but charged me as local with 18% taxes which foreigners are exempt. The stuff did not communicate that people needed to pay for oxygen and other electric appliances and when it was the moment to check out, they charge you. The place was ok but the bathrooms were in bad shape. The clean the rooms every day thought. The staff was nice.
