An impressive, excellent hotel. The rooms are very spacious, clean, and artistic. The minibar is fully stocked with snacks and drinks, all of which are free. More importantly, all the staff are friendly and responsible, greeting us like friends, and the room is kept spotless. This is a hotel I would recommend to my friends.

A True Gem in Cusco

Amazing, beautifully decorated boutique hotel with super friendly staff. I loved my time at this hotel! If you’re an art lover or someone who appreciates art, this is a fun place to stay. My room was very spacious and even had a balcony as well as a hidden mini kitchen. The staff was super welcoming and made great attempts to make sure my stay was pleasant. Will definitely stay here again if I’m ever in Cusco!

I really enjoyed my stay at XO hotel. I was traveling solo and the staff was very considerate in making sure I was comfortable. They serve a light breakfast, with eggs and bacon every morning. Coca tea and candies available at all times. Rooms and common areas were very clean. Beautiful esthetics. Shout out to the lovely woman that prepared breakfast and the security staff.

Beautiful rooms and layout. Looked like an art gallery . Room is stuffed with mini snacks for free.The area is quite and safe. Breakfast had a great spread of bread, meat, fruits, veggies, eggs, cakes. The staff are friendly and helpful. Made us feel like home. The location is walkable to the San blas plaza and minutes away from Siete Borregitos and Cristobal plaza. Lots of food and cafe around. The next door owners of pizza place, the massage, the two hour laundry store and the supermarket end of the street are pretty amazing , friendly and welcoming. There's always hot water for the coca tea and drinking water to keep you hydrated. Airport shuttle available on request. Night security keeps the front door locked at all times for safety. Ask for the security's contact number if you are planning to stay late night. XO went above and beyond to make our trip to Cusco a special memorable one. Highly recommended for all . They will surely make you feel special.

Hotellet är enkelt men väldigt vackert! Det är lugnt och tyst men nära till allt i Cusco! Framförallt: Hotellets personal var helt underbar! De fanns alltid tillgängliga för oss, ställde upp och hjälpte oss med allt! De gav oss verkligen allt man kan önska - och lite till! Frukosten var fantastisk, och de ställde upp och ordnade mat åt oss fastän vi var de enda gästerna på hotellet. Personalens vänlighet var verkligen något unikt och speciellt här! Kommer definitivt tillbaka hit om jag ska till Cusco igen!

Pésimo check in y check out

Solicitamos un late check out y nos dijeron que siendo el check out a las 10:00 hrs, como máximo nos podrían ofrecer un check out sin costo adicional hasta las 10:20 hrs. El último día de estadía volvimos a preguntar a qué hora era el check out y me dijeron que era a las 10:00 hrs, sin embargo en las condiciones que muestran en Hotels.com indican que el check out es a las 11:00 hrs. Obviamente reclamé y me dijeron que hablarían con Expedía porque era un error.

This was a very nice hotel in a great area. We were in walking distance to everything we wanted to do around Cusco. There was staff available around the clock. The breakfast was very nice, and there was always water, coca leaves and candy available! Our room (101) was quite loud with street noise but other than that, very comfortable.
