All the staff were very friendly, courteous and caring. Pamela, Wilson and all the other frint desk staff were amazing and sometimes went out of the way to help us in need. Would highly recommend the place and we'd definitely stay again if ever coming back to Cusco.

Not the best location

The hotel is very cozy. A little far away from Cusco Centro. If you don't mind to hear dogs barking all night long, then go to this hotel.

This is a beautiful small hotel in an old classic house in Cusco, complete with two beautiful and quiet courtyards. Breakfast is excellent -- even good granola, homemade orange juice. Rooms and beds are large, clean & comfortable. Wifi is great. It's not fancy--there is no pool, spa, or gym. Just lovely people running a nice hotel in the center of Cusco.

Great property in an old Casona. Arrived too early to check in and Terra Viva gave us the option to have breakfast, and did their best to accommodate us checking earlier than expected. Jonathan was able to rearrange our lodging dates so we could go visit Machu Pichu

Overall a good stay at this hotel. We got very good sleep and the showers worked great. The only negative parts would be that the internet did not work well in rooms (we stayed in two different rooms part of our two stays) and as other reviews mention the breakfast is not that good. The rooms we stayed in (Superior) were big and the bed was huge which was great. There are also some included drinks which is a nice touch. As you can see from photos, the rooms have no natural light (unless you open the windows which face directly on the path so no privacy). The hotel location is close to the center, while still being very quiet.

This hotel offers the best rooms for its price range among nearby hotels. Although it’s slightly farther from Plaza de Armas (2-3 blocks), it remains close to major attractions. The rooms are very good and have been recently updated. After staying in multiple hotels in Cusco, we found the overall quality here superior. It’s definitely worth staying here rather than paying extra for hotels closer to the plaza that don’t offer the same quality. The breakfast could use some improvement, but overall, we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this hotel.

Excelente. Voltarei a reservar com certeza!

Estadia incrível! Atendimento impecável e muito gentil. Eu viajei sozinha e me senti segura, acolhida e bem direcionada o tempo todo, além das acomodações serem excelentes! Fiquei em dois quartos diferentes, e do simples ao mais robusto com banheira são extremamente confortáveis, limpos e para quem anda o dia inteiro nos passeios e volta no frio, vale ressaltar os chás de muña e coca sempre presentes na recepção e o excelente chuveiro.
