The location is convenient for walking around town. Plenty of restaurants and stores for shopping. Staff were excellent and always help with your luggage. We developed altitude sickness but the hotel had oxygen and an on-call doctor if needed. The breakfast is open 3a-10a. So many options, especially native foods. I would 10/10 recommend this hotel!!

A great place to stay in Cusco!

What a friendly a helpful staff - and what a great location! We were able to easily walk to the historic area to see the sights, plus found a great restaurant and interesting marketplace adjacent to the hotel. We were able to get easily picked up and dropped off for our Sacred Valley/Machu Picchu tour, plus we were able to leave some of our luggage at the hotel for our return (which was very helpful since we were limited in what we could take on our tour). If you're staying in Cusco, we would definitely recommend the Sonesta Hotel!

I stayed in three different hotels during my trip to Peru, and Sonesta was by far my favorite. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout my stay. The location is about a 15–20 minute walk from the main plaza, which made it pleasantly quieter at night compared to more central hotels. The free breakfast buffet was easily the best I had on the trip both in variety and quality and helped cut down on food costs during the day. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others visiting the area.

This hotel is very close to the center of Cusco but far enough away not to be disturbed by crowds or traffic. The staff are extremely attentive and friendly. The rooms were spotless and had everything we needed. The buffet breakfast had wonderful options and great availability to allow early eating for those heading out early for sacred valley hiking.
