Wow, I was blown away by my stay at this hotel! The room was possibly the most beautiful room I've ever stayed in, with its sprawling layout, antique art pieces, and unique decor reflecting the monastery origins. I even got upgraded to a junior suite for no extra charge! The high-spec amenities had everything I needed, although the size was a bit cozy due to the historical design of the building.
Staying at this hotel was a unique and captivating experience. The rooms, once part of an old Monastery, offered a mix of charm and peculiarity. The large, uniquely decorated rooms with ancient religious art maintained the heritage of the building. The service exceeded all expectations and was truly exceptional. The location, just steps away from Cusco's main square and sites, immersed me in the rich history of the city. Dining was an absolute delight with a fantastic restaurant and professional staff. However, the pricing might not be inclusive of all facilities, reflecting slightly on the value for money.
My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic. The location couldn’t have been better, right in the heart of Cusco with easy access to museums, restaurants, and markets. The rooms were not only spacious and beautiful but also provided everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The service was top-notch, with the staff being like good friends, helpful, and efficient. However, the dining experience, though one of the best I've had, did have limited options. Overall, a great value for money with exceptional service and amenities.
Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms, though lacking modern amenities, exuded a charming Spanish monastery style and were always clean. The service was impeccable, especially for first-time visitors like me, making my stay stress-free. The central location offered easy access to Cusco's main attractions, though the lack of scenic views was a minor downside. The dining was a highlight, with exceptional service from Pierina and Wilbert, but the dishes didn't fully justify the price. Overall, a pleasant stay worth considering.
