The staff were very accommodating. They printed my bus ticket to Machu Picchu free of charge. They have a train pick up and drop off luggage service which was great. The room itself was clean, nice, and spacious. The bathroom was small, but very nice and clean. The only issue was the noise. It never stops. From people talking loud at 2 am to music playing in the early morning. It might just be a Machu Picchu thing. Overall, it was a good stay.

Caution - We booked at Tara Machu Picchu, but when we arrived, we were moved to a nearby hotel, Retama Machu Picchu. After searching online, it seems Tara is the better hotel. I was disappointed with the bait-and-switch. Customer Service at Retama was great. Breakfast and the lobby area were ok.

The hotel is a bit old, but it’s clean and well maintained. The room was spacious enough for a family of 3–4 people and offered great value for the price. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, making it very convenient. Most hotels in this area are narrow, vertical buildings due to limited space, so don’t expect an elevator in every property. The staff were always ready to assist and greeted guests with a smile, which made the stay even more pleasant.

Staff are really helpful. Even in the free breakfast we requested an over easy egg and they did. Only downside was the stairs. It’s hard to go up and down especially if you have a knee problem.

This is a great overnight hotel in Auguas Caliente. It was very clean and the breakfast spread is great. Its a 3 minute walk to the bus station. A couple things to note is its near the top of the hill, and its not soundproof. I could hear people in the lobby having conversations and walking up and down the stairs. Aside from those minor things, its a great place to stay! I would absolutely recommend it!

Great location; staff is accommodating and very pleasant. We liked the tea selection in the lobby- nice touch. Everything worked. We could hear the sound of the river when we opened the window- relaxing. It’s walking distance to the hot springs (we were not impressed by the hot springs), a multitude of restaurants, and the train station.

Nice hotel with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Breakfast had a variety of options and was tasty. The room was clean and spacious with a large bed. Nice hot shower with strong water pressure. Great location, close to the bus stop for Machu Picchu and options to eat. Only troubles: there was construction going on right in front of the hotel, so if your room is facing that direction you will hear the noise during the day. Also the windows aren’t soundproof so you can hear everyone passing by, but okay at night since it’s not a busy street. The wifi is also very spotty and barely works in the room, worked better in the lobby.
