Presentation - great, Staff- very helpful, Room 205 - Sensational view of plaza, Breakfast - bland, Plaza can be noisy at times, For a 3 star hotel it's terrific, When paying these reasonable room rates in Peru you need to compromise a little, also take the topless city bus tour (yellow) it's worth it. Visit pisac market it's got a... More

We stayed in the suit for the first night and I would definitely recommend it. The room was lovely and the views from the balcony was definitely worth it. The other rooms are ok. Clean with ok wifi and tv. We did have a problem however, their website stated free transfer from the hotel, but when we enquired about it,... More

Great location right on the Plaza del Armas. Clean comfortable rooms with as they say "all mod cons" Lots of hot water and electric heaters. Good breakfast. Staff has minimal English but are willing to try. Tea and coffee are available all day. I've stayed here 3 times now and all has been good.

This hotel has a perfect location, right on the main square - right in the middle "of it all".Rooms were very adequate. The shower was OK ( but only just). Noise level, in spite of being centrally located, was minimal. The staff was very accommodating. The curious part was the breakfast service. They had a vast variety of items on... More

As with all tourists going to Machu Picchu you need to get to Cusco - the flights from Lima are like a bus service, every hour and full both ways. Up through the clouds and the incredible Andes tower even higher... amazing. A taxi into Cusco from the airport should cost you no more than US $7 (told me by... More

Room 304. Highs: loads of sockets with various pins. Pleasant, helpful staff. A good proportioned room. Nice bathroom – beautiful tiles. The location is excellent - you walk out onto the main square. Lows: the bathroom light was the slowest to warm up eco bulb I’ve ever! The toilet seat was peeling and the lid had been broken off and... More

We stayed here before and after our Machupicchu experience. Have to say this place has the best customer service oriented staff. The best location in town!! The rooms are well kept, and clean. The complimentary breakfast buffet is out of the ordinary bread and coffee. They offer yogurts, fruits, cereals, eggs, chicken aji, juices, oat meal, etc. etc... The internet... More

We spent 7 days and nights at the El Virrey in a triple with balcony overlooking the Cathedral on the main square, the Plaza de Armas. The direct view overlooking the park was the best of our hotels in three weeks in Peru, absolutely beautiful. Furnishings were budget nice (solid furniture, bed done up comfy with comforter and decorative pillows),... More
