Overall a good stay at this hotel. We got very good sleep and the showers worked great. The only negative parts would be that the internet did not work well in rooms (we stayed in two different rooms part of our two stays) and as other reviews mention the breakfast is not that good.

The rooms we stayed in (Superior) were big and the bed was huge which was great. There are also some included drinks which is a nice touch. As you can see from photos, the rooms have no natural light (unless you open the windows which face directly on the path so no privacy).

The hotel location is close to the center, while still being very quiet.

This hotel offers the best rooms for its price range among nearby hotels. Although it’s slightly farther from Plaza de Armas (2-3 blocks), it remains close to major attractions. The rooms are very good and have been recently updated. After staying in multiple hotels in Cusco, we found the overall quality here superior. It’s definitely worth staying here rather than paying extra for hotels closer to the plaza that don’t offer the same quality. The breakfast could use some improvement, but overall, we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this hotel.

This is a beautiful small hotel in an old classic house in Cusco, complete with two beautiful and quiet courtyards. Breakfast is excellent -- even good granola, homemade orange juice. Rooms and beds are large, clean & comfortable. Wifi is great.

It's not fancy--there is no pool, spa, or gym. Just lovely people running a nice hotel in the center of Cusco.

Great place to stay on both ends of our Inca Trail hiking. The location was a few blocks off the main square so only a short walk to restaurants and sites. Room was clean with comfortable beds. Bathroom recently remolded. Space heater for warmth. Staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Included breakfast, which you could have in room or dining room. Stored our luggage while we hiked the trail. Allowed us late check out on last day at no charge. Quiet, not many guests now.

The rooms were beautiful, comfortable, and clean, and the staff was so helpful! Less than a 10 minute walk to Plaza de Armas and in a very safe area. Another great feature- you can drop off any laundry at the front desk by 10 AM and they will get it back to you by 8 PM (you pay $6 USD per kilo). This was so helpful as we had just returned from 4 days hiking the Inca Trail.

The staff at this hotel are exceptional. Extremely helpful and they provide great personal assistance. The hotel is clean and well maintained. The breakfast is the best we have had in our month long visit to Peru. I like this hotel very much.

They are unreachable by phone when you’re out of the country and generally have been unprofessional in dealing with my reservation.

Stayed here twice during our time in Cusco! Would definatly recommend quiet but easily walkable. Very helpful staff. Allowed us to store our luggage during our Inca trail treck. Breakfast had many options and was all delicious. Was upgraded to a suite first night which was loverly spacious and very nice. Standard room was equally loverly massive comfy beds and very clean modern bathrooms. Would definatly recommend and stay again.

Great staff but far from plaza

The hotel was nice overall. It’s pretty far from the main plaza with not much happening on the street. I would recommend a closer hotel as the walk was a bit much sometimes. The room was decent with a few minor issues such as hair and tepid water. The WiFi was severely lacking. The staff was wonderful and overall the stay was pleasant.

I really appreciated the staff and their helpfulness. The bed was cozy and the room was great! Breakfast options were terrific, too.
My ONLY negative would be the barking dogs, but I know that wasn’t the hotel’s fault.

Bit cold but everything else was amazing!

Place was amazing. The place is little walk from all the busy tourist places which means little more walk but quiet. Me and my friend liked everything except our room was very cold. There's only one little heater in the room for warming and that wasn't enough.

This place is about an 8 minutes walk to the Plaza del Armas, I had a comfortable stay. I preferred this because you didn't have to walk up any steps.

My Wonderful Stay at Tierra Viva Cusco Saphi

Tierra Viva was a very nice place to stay and it is just up the street from Plaza de Armas. There are plenty of nearby restaurants, stores, pharmacies, etc. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I want to thank Jose, Eduardo, Erick and Raquel for all of their assistance and their friendly service. I would definitely stay there again if I were to come back for another visit.

I would stay here again

This was my favorite hotel during my trip to Peru. I think my room was the best one there #201. It had a great window seat and I loved sitting in the window and enjoying the breeze. My friend had a different room and said he felt the walls were paper thin. I didn't have that experience so it may differ depending on what room you stay in. The location was great. The wifi was strong. The staff were friendly and helpful and the place was very clean and comfortable. I would love to stay here again.

I imagine the problem, if any, with Cusco hotels are the loud travelers being picked up at 5A by their tour companies. Courtyards and wooden stairs especially echos those sounds.

Lovely, small hotel close to the main square

Lovely, small hotel. It's a cool combination of an old, traditional building with modern decor. It's on a quiet street, but only two blocks from the bustling Plaza des Armas, filled with shops and restaurants. The staff were very accommodating. The breakfast buffet was quite good. Our only problem is that the street and sidewalk were under construction--not their fault, but it made getting in and out a bit tricky.

Great location, excellent staff!

Tierra Viva is a great traveler's hotel chain. Tierra Viva Saphi is located far enough away from Plaza Armas to be quiet and restful, yet close enough for an easy walk to the Plaza, shops, and restaurants. The staff, as we have noticed at other Tierra Viva hotels that we have stayed in, is exceptional.

The hotel is great, staff very helpful and friendly, very good breakfast. The only thing it was for me, the hotel is located between construction buildings and the walk at night was a little bit strange as well it was so much dust on the street from the ongoing work on the building.

Outstanding Stay in Cuzco

My ratings show I thoroughly enjoyed the hotel. However, I do have one negative comment not directly covered by the rating scheme. The internet was quite sporadic. Sometimes it worked well. Other times (especially at nights), it didn't work at all no matter which user I was on. The staff was attentive to getting it fixed, but were never very successful.
