It was okay. The staff was nice. The never took our garbage out but took all of our towels halfway through the stay. The hot water went out as well.

Hotels.com failed to indicate that this isn't a hotel, it's a hostel (it's painted in giant letters on the building). The staff were nice and the breakfast is simple, but cooked to order. It's also close to the train station to leave for Machu Picchu. However, the rooms weren't very clean, there was lots of blue washing soap left on our sheets that never dissolved in their laundry, and here was the biggest issue: the constant all-night noise from the road outside our window. It was like a CIA sleep deprivation exercise. No amount of white noise from your phone can cover it. You will begin to believe that you're lying down on a highway with non-stop motorcycles riding by. You will fall asleep for 4 minutes until the next loud vehicle goes by and wakes you up again. The back of the property abuts a gorgeous river and, if there are rooms there, you'd likely be safe from noisy traffic hell. But you're doomed if your room faces the street. We had to \"wake up\" (read: get out of the beds we never fell asleep in) and visit Machu Picchu like the walking dead. The entire point of a hotel (or, as here, a hostel), is to sleep. This property failed that requirement. Therefore, despite the friendliness of the employees, it earns 1 star.

We loved the location of this property! It’s a convenient, sub-10-minute walk to the Machu Picchu train station and perfectly situated near the Plaza de armas, local restaurants, and the Ollantaytambo ruins. While the breakfast was simple, it was a nice start to the day. The staff were incredibly kind, though we did find communication a bit challenging despite English being listed as an available language. The room itself was very clean, though the bathroom sink area could use a little extra attention regarding some mildew.

Great location to catch an early train to Machu Picchu (about 10min walk to the station). Ollantaytambo is ten times better for an overnight stay than Aguas Calientes with lots of quality dining options.

Staff is helpful and offered us a small packed breakfast (sandwich, fruit and water). They only speak Spanish though.

The room faced the river and was peaceful. But we didn’t have hot water so I can’t recommend for more than one night.

I highly recommend this property for the staff, service, area, views, breakfast, cleanliness and amenities. The hosts and housekeeper are outstanding and went out of their way for me on many occasions. I can highly recommend the third floor room facing the ruins. What a view! The bed looks a comfortable, extra blankets are available, there is hot water, and they go out in d their way with breakfast, check in and cleaning.

This hotel was perfect for a few nights in Ollantaytambo - close to the downtown area but also close to the train station for an early Machu Picchu train departure. The family who runs it is so sweet - they make breakfast for the guests and will even pack up a to-go box if you have an early morning. The rooms are fine and can be a bit loud with the main road to the train station nearby, but the experience here was wonderful overall. We thoroughly enjoyed our time staying here!

Good location (between train station & town), clean room and enough things to keep warm during night (no heating though). They gave our breakfast to go which was really nice since the train boarding started already at 5:40am

The stream runs right by the building and creates quite a bit of noise. Also noise from the roosters on the next property.

Wonderful and heartwarming! We spent 3 nights and we were extremely happy to meet amazing people who would do their best to satisfy guests. This place is for people who are looking for all the basic needs without any frill or luxury. This place has things like clean beds, good breakfast (orange juice squeezed on site), a warm shower, etc. The day we made a day trip to Machu Picchu, we left at 4:15am, and Maria, the owner, has already prepared each of us a lunch bag with goodies like a chocolate bar and candies. We were so thankful that she even woke up before us and wished us a good day. Like many other places in Ollantaytambo and Cusco, language could be a bit of a problem since we don’t speak Spanish but we got by okay because Maria tried her best to understand our needs. We met some of her family members as well, and her daughter and son-in-law spoke English fluently. Everyone including a working staff was so kind, constantly asking us what we need. If it’s something they could do, they would do it right away! We simply had to ask - for example, we got extra towels and blankets, and a small portable heater because it was getting cold at night. Also like many other places in Peru (blessed by their pleasent weather all year long), windows are simply sliding pieces of glass, so it can get noisy with traffic around train’s departures and arrivals. Overall, it’s a charming place where I could feel the generosity and kindness of a small town.

Les chambres sont confortables avec de bonnes couvertures. Nous avons eu la belle vue sur les ruines historiques, avec bruit sur la rivière (prévoyez des bouchons au besoin).

Petit déjeuner continental avec des oeufs, jus de fruit, pain et confiture. Le personnel est attentioné.
