I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is so convenient, close to the train station and bus stop, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms are spacious and surrounded by beautiful mountains, offering a peaceful retreat. The dining experience was superb, especially the buffet-style breakfast. However, the lack of a view from the room due to mosquitoes was a bit disappointing.

I had a great stay at the hotel. The location is perfect for visiting Machu Picchu, being right next to the bus stop, and away from the noise of central Aguas Calientes. The room was comfortable despite some noise outside, but could use more outlets near the bed stands. The dining experience was satisfactory with breakfast starting early and using local products. The service was good, and the hotel facilities were convenient.
