Hotel was nice and it was in a good location. The only thing that was annoying is they offer early "breakfast" at 3am which is just really, bread, cereal and yogurt. The actually breakfast doesnt start untill 5am. Then to top it off they gave me attitude about wrapping up an egg sandwich to go, as if I didnt pay for my breakfast service.psh.

We recently traveled to Cusco, Peru and stayed at the Sonesta Hotel Cusco, and our experience was excellent from start to finish. Upon arrival, the staff greeted us curbside, promptly retrieved our luggage, and welcomed us with a warm strawberry apple tea accented with fresh fruit pieces and tea cookies—a lovely and thoughtful touch. While we were still checking in, our luggage was taken directly to our room without us ever needing to request delivery. The room itself was spotless, and the housekeeping service throughout our stay was outstanding. The food was very good, and the service consistently attentive and friendly. Overall, the Sonesta Hotel Cusco provided a comfortable, well-run, and welcoming stay. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Cusco.

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.
