Didn't know quite what to expect when saw the nondescript front door, but after heading down a short corridor, was welcomed with coca tea in a cosy, bright dining room. Mercedes and her team are very friendly, helpful and do a good job for the price asked. Basically, it feels like an extension of her home, which it is! The... More

My room in the Casa was big and had a smaal bathroom with a great shower with always hot water. It is not the most modern hostel in the world but for me it was good enough. I got a little tv with some good english spoken channels. When I went for 4 days to the Inka-trail I could just... More

I visited Cusco in January of 2012. I found Casa De Mama on Hotels.com as a search result. After reading a few reviews I booked the hotel for 4 nights. I was NOT disappointed at all... Mercedes the owner is a very nice lady. She picked me up at the airport for no extra charge. Also she organized all my... More

At least 20 minute walk to the town center, this hotel is located on a not- so central street, which doesn't feel entirely safe. Once inside the walls, you'll understand that it's a family-run hotel.

The booking was very easy by eMail and Mama Mercedes was waiting for us at the airport in Cusco to bring us to Casa de Mama II (at no cost). She provided us cocal leave tea and gave us basic instructions how to get to town by taxi and back. The rooms were clean. We could leave our bags there... More

...well except for the altitude sickness which everyone goes through ;) The location is not in the city but a cheap 5 min taxi ride gets you there. Don't pay more than 3 soles, you need to negotiate sometimes but its not a hardsell. The taxi drivers are not familiar with the location so make sure you have the address... More

I stayed there for a week with my wife! Carmen is just perfect, she is just like a mom. We cooked there and they lent us everything we needed Casa de mama 1 is just a block away from the main square. Thanks Mercedes and Carmen for making our lives easier there. We will return sooner than you expect! More

Our family stayed for more than a week at Casa de Mama. We had a wonderful experiance. Lovely, clean, large rooms. Privacy, lovely hospitality. Mercedes took care of each and every one of our needs: including laundry, tour advice, etc. [including inviting a doctor for an urgent check-up]. ten minute walk from the center- so pretty near but out of...

The owner is really great, friendly. It is really family approach. We talked a lot about Peru culture, travels, food, etc.. The room was large and comfortable. Mercedes, we all, Cesar, Fernando, Heli anda Jorge, miss you so much. Thanks More
