The hotel was super cute and the staff were so helpful and accommodating!! The only thing that could have been better was the heat situation! They didn't turn on the heat until 6 pm on my first stay and then not until 9 pm on my second when I returned from my trek. That being said, the front staff turned it on for me earlier as I was freezing and just needed some warmth after being in the mountains. I would definitely recommend Casa Esmeralda. It was close enough to Plaza de Armas, San Pedro market, and everywhere else, and the service was excellent!

Great boutique hotel

We really enjoyed our stay in Casa Esmeralda. We didn't have a good impression of the hotel initially because we arranged transport to the hotel from the airport (for free) and have emailed them confirming our flight details the day before but after waiting at the airport for 30 mins they never arrived and we ended up taking a cab so we went into the hotel feeling agitated and a bit annoyed. However, the hotel was quick with rectifying the situation, they let us leave our luggage in the room for 2 days (the 2 days we were not in Cusco), paid for our taxi cab to the hotel, and also offered to pay for our cab to the airport. The hotel also had a good breakfast and was lenient with time - perhaps its because the hotel is quite small, they know which guests have had their breakfast and which guests are still sleeping. On the days where we slept in, they offered to leave the breakfast for a bit longer so we could enjoy it when we came down / bring it up to us in our hotel room. The only issue I have with the hotel is the location, its on a side alley and its a bit of an issue for cars to drive in if they don't know the way. I also understand that the area is not exactly the safest area which is probably why the hotel requires you to ring the doorbell to enter nor is the hotel convenient or close to the city center. Other than that, I would highly recommend it!
