Everything was great during our stay. The attention is very personalized, they all address you by your name/last name with a smile. So the interaction with the staff was excellent, the breakfast buffet delicious and with great variety.Our room was always clean and on time.Very impressed by Sonesta Hotel Cusco, also the location was very convenient, a couple of blocks from Koricancha and a ten, 15 minutos walk to the main square. Cusco is truly a magical city and staying at Sonesta was a great experience. We will return for sure.

This hotel was fantastic, everyone from the staff was really lovely and approachable. The location was great for any nearby sights and even for the train to Machu Picchu. The rooms were spacious and clean, the breakfast was delicious and also openining it from 3 am is a nice touch for all the hikers. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a stay in Cuzco.

Fantastic hotel in Cusco. The staff were so helpful and pleasant that they even got us the recipe of a dish during breakfast that we loved. I will definitely stay here again if I return to Cusco. The breakfast spread was awesome that after eating we could skip lunch. For early trips they do start serving from 3 am

The room was large with a very large bathroom as well. It did not have a walk-in shower, but more of a tub shower. The bed was very comfortable. The hotel itself was clean and well kept up and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was amazing with significant variety and fresh cooked options, which is an omelette station. They also had regional food for breakfast, which was fun. We ate at the restaurant twice and the food was fantastic. My only complaint was the rooms at the front of the buildings are not insulated all that well, and you could hear the noise on the street. The rooms in the front of the building did have a balcony with a view of the city, which was nice.

We were surprised when we arrived, an excellent value for this lovely property. Dinner and drinks were wonderful. Hotel provided 2 bottles of water per day which doesn’t seem like a big deal but it really was a much appreciated touch. No a/c however windows open, providing a very nice fresh breeze during the night. Other amenities we enjoyed were access to tv programming in English, variety of shows and news, mini fridge in the room, coffee station and a safe. Terrific value, we couldn’t believe our luck!
