We had an awesome time at this hotel! The stairs are not so bad to climb if you are already climbing the ones in Machu Picchu! It’s good practice! Breakfast was awesome and views cannot compare! Overall I would recommend for anyone ok to climb up 110 steps to get to their room!

Really wonderful stay. The beds were very comfortable. They even had down comforters, which was really nice considering that it gets cold, and they had extra space heaters.

The only difficulty was climbing a little over a hundred stairs to get to the hotel, but the staff was kind and helpful in managing the luggage up and down. The staff was also very kind. I had an excursion very early in the morning and could not be there for their breakfast. They actually packed me a breakfast!

The hotel was kind enough to have someone meet us very late at the train station, help us on the very short walk to the hotel, and store our luggage the next day during our trip to the Machu Picchu settlement. Yes, there's a lot of stairs but it wasn't a problem for us. The hotel itself is really beautiful and the breakfast is quite reasonable. It's an excellent value.

The Mountain View was nice…. But I’m sure many other hotels have that view in that area. The stairs to the hotel were brutal. If your young/ back packing ok. The breakfast was below par we didn’t eat it. The rooms
Had bugs in it and I wouldn’t brush my teeth with the water since the spout was spitting out dirt. The price shouldn’t reflect the stays quality because there are many other hotels in that area at the same price. No me gusta unfortunately.

The hotel description should include the detail that you need to climb atleast 50-60 steep steps to get up there. The hotel staff asked me for our train details but failed to show up at the station. The rooms were ok, but the bathrooms weren’t clean. The breakfast was satisfactory and the views from the hotel were nice. This may be ok for solo or couple travelers but if you have luggage, I’d advise staying somewhere else.

The views were incredible. The space was quiet and the staff friendly. The hotel is near the square and only a 5 minute walk from the market/train/bus stations, but far enough away from the most active places to be calming. Be mindful of the hike up to the hotel! If you can pack extra light, do so. I was lucky to meet a couple of young men to help carry my suitcase up the flights of stairs and the hotel host carried it down for me when I left.

The hotel was very loud and between the people upstairs, the motion light shining in the window every time someone approached, and someone trying to enter my room around 10 pm, I could not sleep. I did not feel safe. We booked 2 rooms but only used one because I felt unsafe being separated. They prepared a box breakfast for us but none of it was edible. There were a lot of bugs in our room as well. Lastly, there are far too many stairs up to the rooms.

Plus they offer an electric heater which makes the room warm at night, I love the portable heater so much. The breakfast area is on the top of the building, view is fantastic.

Great stay

We had a great stay. When we arrived by train, someone was there to pick us up. We ended up missing him but appreciated the gesture. Check in was quick and room was ready by regular check in time. The location of the hotel was perfect, off of main plaza and close to train and bus stations. Keep in mind that the only way to get up to the hotel is by several flights of stairs. Luckily we packed light. The room was comfortable and clean. A free breakfast was included and it was bread, fruit, cereal, with coffee, tea, or juice. Overall, it was all we needed for our visit to Machu Picchu.

Rooming at Rupa

The Rupa Rupa is up quite a steep set of stairs. Once up there the room for four was large enough, however the bathroom is a bit small for four people. The breakfast was good and staff were friendly. You can hear the birds in the morning but also the nightlife so it's not quiet most of the day. Overall it was great, just be sure you can do 5 flights of stairs often and are okay with mountain air moisture.

Beautifully natural, awesome view but long walk up

I highly anticipated this stay in Aguas Calientes. We came in late and needed to leave early for a Machu Picchu tour the next day and the hotel accommodated this beautifully, even allowing me to reenter my room and freshen up after the MP trip. I also get a complimentary pisco sour drink at the restaurant nearby.

Walking distance to the church and the Pachacuti square, so it's convenient to everywhere without being in the streets where the tourists are. Very close to mercado and to the bus and train stop, so convenient.

The only issue is that the hotel requires a long walk on steps up that resembles a mini Inka trail that I just went through during the day. Arriving at night, I had to slug my luggage up to this trek in the dark (the sensor lights only light up for a few seconds before it got dark again) up the zig zag steps before it reaches the hotel. The staff was available immediately after reaching them via Whatsapp though, and that is very commendable.

The terrace for the breakfast opens up to the valley with great view over the rooftops of Aguas Calientes, which is the same view the balcony of my room opens up to.

100 stone steps up!

Should begin by saying that we had to cancel our reservation upon arriving at the hotel. The description of the location said that the hotel was “100 STEPS” from the main plaza. The reality was that it was 100 STAIRS up from the plaza. Even though we traveled lightly, we had children and it was extremely hard to get to the hotel. And even then, you had to go up or down more stairs to get to your room. When we finally got to the room the bathroom floor was flooded. Local staff was very kind and helpful but owner had a bad attitude. Tried to minimize the situation.
No denying that location looked nice. But be warned about difficulty for access. Not suitable for small children.

The property is nice and clean. The hotel is located on the top of the hill, which means that you have to walk around 80 steps up to your room and the same 80 steps to go down. I would love to do more research in advance to avoid these extra steps. I love my trip to Manchu Pichu.

We did not end up staying at this hotel. They emailed to ask what time we were arriving on the train and said they would send someone to meet us - no one came. We messaged through Expedia that we were going to get dinner before check-in as our train was delayed - no one answered. We climbed the long staircase to the hotel - no one was in reception and the place looked abandoned. There was a number to whatsapp \"Joe\" - he didn't answer calls or texts. We left and found another hotel. Joe finally called and said he was available. We told him not to bother. Still trying to get a refund 4 days later - Expedia can't get hold of the hotel or Joe either! DO NOT STAY HERE!

Too many stairs but decent stay

I got the classic double, it was right below where breakfast is served so it was very loud first thing in the morning and the room stayed pretty light even at night and especially during the day. there were a few bugs, nothing too bothersome and I was pleasantly surprised that I never ran out of hot water in the shower as some of the reviews said that was an issue. It was a decent stay but the stairs were a bit much and I am relatively young and healthy, I wouldn't recommend for anyone with mobility issues and I probably wouldn't stay here again.

Too much noise, you can't relax after a tired day.

Getting there was not easy at all, the stairs have too many steps and they are dangerous, they don't seep the dirt nor the fallen leaves so you gotta be very careful, and if you have heavy suitcases it's going to be even more difficult.
The internet was bad, there was no soap.. just a little bag of shampoo. And there is too much noise, you just can´t relax because you can hear everything going on outside even the loud music they have.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! This was by far the the worst most disgusting place ever! My shower had 3 trickels of water coming out of the filthy dirty shower head and the shower was filthy... The room was infested with dead and live bugs everywhere! Bugs were falling from the ceiling and landing on me in my bed! I even saw a few bugs come out of a hole in the wall and the light socket... They tried to give us a bagged lunch for the next day and it was a sandwich consisting of 1 piece of smelly ham between 2 pieces of stale white bread. The banana that was included was rotten on the tip. I cant believe they would even serve that. We asked to be changed rooms because of the shower and bugs but the only staff there was apathetic and told us that it wasnt his really job and he wouldn't change us. We arrived late but it was so gross that We had to leave the room around Midnight, because the bugs were so bad, and search for a new hotel. Which we found and it was great!!! Might I recommend that place instead. Its called El Mapi.

I usually don’t write reviews, but I want people to be able to make an informed decision.

It is a trek up A LOT of stairs to get to the hotel. Along the stairs is pretty sketchy, going down a secluded alley. Once you finally get up to the “hotel” you are greeted by absolutely no one. We had to wait an hour outside for a receptionist to check us in, to arrive to a room that was visibly dirty across from what seemed to be a very noisy plumbing system, the toilet didn’t work, no air conditioning, dead bugs on furniture, nails through the ceiling from whatever was placed on the floor above, water stains on the ceiling, and misleading photos from Expedia that the view outside was actually of the tin roofs of the locals houses. NOT of any waterways or “jungle” like experience. Staff finally showed up to fix the toilet, which was another hour process, to be unsuccessful and have us wait an additional 30 minutes to switch rooms into one directly in the lobby…. Shower water was mostly cold to luke warm at best. Absolutely no wifi, so I couldn’t even book a different hotel. No staff at night or in the morning either.

Typically I check the mattress in hotels for bedbugs, but the experience was so bad, that I didn’t want to make my night worse by finding out.

I would have rather slept outside with the stray dogs.

Many stairs and not well illuminated.

Nice place but the walk to the hotel was several stories high which could be difficult with little children or older folks. In addition, the main walkway up to the hotel(again, maybe 5 stories up) closes at 8 and the secondary stairs are very dimly illuminated and not very safe. You should bring a headlamp and be careful or your surroundings if alone.
