This property is situated near the base of a mountain, every morning when I opened my door I had a breathtaking view. The staff was always available and always more than happy to help by giving suggestions for the area or recommendations. They even helped me when I had another issue with my travel plans. Breakfast was included and they even accommodated all my food restrictions. The walls were a little thin, but I always bring earplugs so it didn’t really bother me. The only thing that could’ve been better was the water situation. I had trouble getting hot water in my shower, it was only lukewarm and I had to notify the staff before I showered so they could turn on the gas.

Great place!

A very nice Peruvian family runs this adorable bed and breakfast. The amentities, including the bathroom, are very modern and the breakfast is delicious. You will have the best of both worlds, staying in a traditional/small town while enjoying updated accommodations at an affordable price. The hotel also arranged a pickup for me at the airport in Cusco! Very convenient!

Great and Convenient Stay

A family-run hostal with great price and helpful hospitality. Impressed with the bath hot water and big tub that I dont want to waste the hot water since it is the common problems when we encountered in other hotels with only warm water. Just be mindful that its tough to drag your luggage thru stone pebble streets from Plaza de Arms. The owner came out calling taxi to carry 4 people's luggage which makes it easier. enjoy it much there.

Nice family-run hotel on side street

Hotel is further off the square than the map marker indicates. Small hotel run by a family who is really nice and eager to help. Beds are a bit hard and noise easily comes into the rooms from outside, but the breakfast, hospitality, and charm are great.

Clean and you get what you pay for. Friendly staff however the cooking smell from the kitchen permeates the room and and your clothing. Toilet did have some initial problems working due to a stuck float valve. Basic accommodations. It's a roof and a clean room. I would chose to stay elsewhere on a further visit.

Absolutely no frills in a great location

This is not a hotel but a hostal above a restaurant in a very small pueblo and the review takes this into consideration. The rooms are very basic by all standards but clean and with no funny smells. Jesus is very responsive and gave us a great service - he runs the restaurant so he is always busy. WiFi can be spotty and we noticed that water was turned off between around 10PM and 6-7AM - this may be usual for this pueblo. It is located right on the main square where everything happens, so expect some noise coming from the street - for us this added to the experience. The shower was very hot which is a plus. Our bathroom did not have a ceiling, which was strange but obviously still enclosed by the room ceiling.

Hostal Kiswar is in the center of Ollantaytambo. Go to Ollantaytambo to see spectacular Inca and pre-Inca ruins and a small unspoiled Peruvian tourist town. Hostel Kiswar fits that description perfectly - small unspoiled small-town Peruvian hostel. Very inexpensive, unassuming, and authentic. I would definitely stay there again

Una experiencia NO grata

La experiencia no fue positiva.Estuvimos llamando por teléfono al hostal días antes y nos respondieron hasta la noche antes de hospedarnos. No pudimos hospedarnos en este hostal porque había celebración por los 145 años de la fundación de Ollantaytambo frente al lugar y la serenata duraba toda la noche, el ruido era muy fuerte. Nos trasladaron a un hostal cercano de menor precio y no nos rebajaron la tarifa. Nos pidieron que desayunaramos en Kiswar pero al llegar nos atendieron 3 personas diferentes y ninguna sabía lo que dijo la otra. Pedimos el desayuno y la persona que nos atendió regresó mucho tiempo después,nunca nos trajo la bebida, nos dio la mitad de los que nos ofreció aunque no había nadie más en el restaurant ni en el hostal. Sí fueron amables en guardarnos las maletas mientras visitabamos el centro histórico. En el hostal donde nos hospedaron no había agua caliente probamos de todas las formas posibles y nunca funcionó, le dijimos a la encargada y dijo que "no era cierto"; pedimos calentador eléctrico y la jovén se quejó de la solicitud. De todos los hospedajes en Cusco esta fue la peor experiencia.
