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.

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.

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.

Great location, very nice staff, super clean. Room was not soundproofed as indicated (perhaps because it was on the side not yet renovated?), so noise from the hallway was bothersome. Checkout time is very early—9am—which seems somewhat odd.

I was thoroughly impressed with everything regarding this property It is in a great location to the Plaza, shopping, and restaurant while still having been far enough away that it was not in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the main square. The room was extremely clean and all of the hotel staff was very helpful while friendly. I will recommend this hotel to anyone Io know coming to Cusco.

Comfortable sleep. Was not used to a front door of a hotel being locked as we arrived after 1 am and worried we were not going to be able to check in. However after knocking and waiting a few moments we were admitted and check in was good. We were given an extra hour for checkout as the checkout is early (9:00). Nice space to sit downstairs as you wait to continue your travels.
