We loved our stay at El Albergue! First off, we were very happy that we decided to stay in Ollantay during our visit to Machu Piccu (rather than Agua Calientes) which is an incredible location in its own right, with beautiful old town, great restaurants, and fantastic archeologic sites. El Albergue is located at the train station which made if very convenient, but also a romantic old-school vibe which we appreciated. We did also take advantage of their distillery and coffee experience and loved both. The staff here were so kind and helpful, couldn't have asked for better. The room was large, clean and comfortable and everything worked great. We ate at the restaurant one night and thought the food was great. We didn't find the sounds of the trains overly intrusive, but we did look for a room facing away from the tracks and that is probably a good idea.. Highly recommend this hotel!

This was such an interesting and convenient place to stay. Right at the train station yet still walkable to the main square. The organic farm is beautiful and tucked away behind the hotel. We enjoyed the distillery and learning about the process. Restaurant food was very good and cocktails were some of the best I’ve had!

We stayed at this hotel twice. We had 2 different rooms. The experience was completely different depending on the room. Our first room was an older room facing the train tracks. It was fun to see the train coming in and hear the music. Unfortunately we were there during the demonstrations so we never actually got to get on the train. We got to experience first hand the chaos of the demonstration. It was surreal that they were putting on the full show even when they knew there was a good chance the trains were going nowhere. The staff at the hotel were great and told us about the situation. I do not think many tourists knew what was going on. We appreciate the staff's honesty. Perurail denied there were any issues. Despite being so close to the chaos. The hotel felt like a safe oasis. The grounds are magical. The gardens are stunning, and the staff work so hard to maintain this gorgeous property. I loved walking around their farm, and taking the farm path to get into town. The restaurant is amazing and I loved the farm to table experience. The quality of food is delicious and fresh. Our second room was more modern. It was very comfortable. I really enjoyed my stay. I appreciated having extra time in Ollantaytambo.

This is a truly unique experience. The grounds are beautifully landscaped; the rooms are large, comfortably furnished, and very private; there is a working farm, a distillery, and a coffee roaster as part of the property; and a terrific restaurant. And it is adjacent to the IncaRail train station.

Fabulous hotel. Great staff and superb restaurant. Only little grouse we had was that we got the room bang smack on top of the railway platform. Think pre dawn train sounds and loud live band at train boarding times (a unique Peru Rail feature)! The rooms deeper in the property would not have that issue. Lovely flora and views inside too. Overall a very nice little hotel. Would happily go back again.

The El Albergue is a very unique property. It’s literally located steps from the train tracks at Ollantaytambo Station. There is definitely noise from the trains, but I booked an interior room that faces the mountains and had no issues. The property is very quaint and the staff was very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.

This was such a unique stay- it may have been my favorite in all of Peru! The gardens are absolutely beautiful and well maintained. The birds and wildlife were so fun to watch. The room was so well appointed and the view from our balcony was breathtaking. There’s a lot to explore on the property and such friendly people to ask questions. A huge plus was being able to leave our luggage here while taking the train to Machu Picchu and having direct access to the train tracks- allowing you to avoid the long lines at the gate.
