In general, the Taypikala hotel was good, there were only two details that particularly caught my attention: 1.- The absence of a soap disk in the bathroom. 2.- And the most important, the 6 days we were staying we had problems with the Internet connection, it became super slow or fell down especially at night. We were able to extend our stay 2 more days, thanks to the reservation staff.

My stay exceeded expectations. Pros: Heater and heavy blanket in room, great shower pressure with hot water, filtered water station, coco tea immediately available, saw people getting supplemental O2, decent breakfast - scrambled eggs, omelette station, orange juice was amazing, will make a small lunch bag if you miss breakfast Cons: It’s an older building and the eggs were sometimes runny - that’s literally my only complaint Middle of the their winter and I was as comfortable as I could be. Would 100% stay here again.

We had a great stay! We stayed here for three nights before heading out on the Inca trail. It was the perfect location for exploring the historic district and the onsite restaurant was an easy option when we had a 4:00 am wake up call. They even packed us a breakfast. My only complaint is that the hot water wasn’t that hot in the shower. Would stay again!

the so called 4-star hotel has very small washroom, water temperature hard to control. They declined our request to upgrade the room and told us that there is no shuttle to airport which written in expedia website. the hotel locates at a single lane and it is very difficult for Uber to leave hotel.

Walkable, Comfortable, and a Good Value

Hotel Taypikala had a great location, just minutes walking to anything we wanted to go to in the Historical City Center. It was clean and comfortable. The breakfasts had a lot of options, from the typical continental Peruvian breakfast to hot options and even an omelet station. They gave us box breakfasts for an early morning tour and were accommodating with a later check out. We would stay there again.
