I would stay here again and again!! We arrived in the morning, after a long international flight. They picked us up at the airport and welcomed us with drinks and snacks. Our room, understandably not ready as it was 10a. They have a lovely lobby with plenty of places to relax. We were going to walk around and might have fallen asleep for a little bit. Before we left to check out the area, they told us our room was ready!! I love the hotel atmosphere - feels like I am being pampered 😍 I want to add our driver “Willy” was super great with helpfulness and information. One of our highlights was Marianela!! She is around the hotel in different places offering assistance or answering questions. Some of the time we found her (and her mom❤️) in the lobby knitting items that can be purchased. I love my sweater and our hats 😍 thank you for an amazing start to our vacation!!

The best staff - they go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Great location. Incredible breakfast buffet. I cannot express how wonderful our stay was here! Tip: some rooms don’t have AC so review before you book!

We truly enjoyed everything about our stay. From the warm welcome and the welcome drinks to the permanent tea and cookie setup in the reception area, everything made us feel comfortable right away. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always happy to help.The rooms were spacious for two people and very quiet at night, which ensured a great night’s sleep. We had a street-view room with a balcony, which was a nice bonus. The buffet breakfast was delicious and offered a wide variety of options, and we especially appreciated that breakfast is available as early as 3 a.m.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rating says it is a 3-star; however, it is in fact a 4-star hotel. They warmly greet you with a welcome drink and a cookie. The receptionist somehow remembered our names every time we would go to the front desk. The breakfast buffet was very good, with fresh custom omelettes every morning. The rooms were clean, and the shower had good water pressure. The hotel is also only a 20 min walk from Plaza Mayor, where most of the restaurants and shopping are centrally located. We were given a parting gift once we checked out, which was a nice touch. I highly recommend this hotel if you are going to stay in Cusco.

This hotel is excellent! Very helpful staff and very good location. It’s a few minutes drive from Cusco international airport and 2 blocks walk from the Inca Rail Station to Machu Picchu. Very clean and complimentary breakfast buffet is delicious with a lot of choices from American, Peruvian, Spanish and vegetarian. Highly recommended!

This is a hotel located on one of the major roads 800m SE of the main Cusco square, near the tail of the cougar in the original Cusco city layout. This is a full service hotel with a full sized restaurant, staffed reception and lobby, a café and gift shop with an official 4 star rating. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the main square and the walk is pleasant so it is fairly convenient. The hotel has 5 floors with guest friendly stairs and 2 elevators, so access is not a problem. The rooms are fairly spacious, with beds, a small desk/bench and a chair. There is a large window that can be tiled or swung open, offering good airflow for cooling and venting. The room has central air that heats but not cool (we are in July), it can get a little warm in the afternoon though opening the window for 5 minutes solves that problem. The décor and furniture is good, and bathroom is well appointed with good hot water flow and pressure. The breakfast for this hotel is above average, with a good spread of hot and cold dish as well as custom egg station. Food options range from hot Andean classics, juices, breads, American breakfast staples such as eggs and sausage and various cereal and fruit items. Juices, tea and coffee is also included. This offers a very good start to the day. They also serve lunch and dinner but we didn’t eat there.

We had an excellent stay here. They let us leave our luggage’s with them while we were on a 4 day Machupichu hike and the really nice gentleman Saac was great assistance with the dining because I was feeling very sick from the trip and he gave good advice on the right foods to eat.

Grateful for the Sonesta Hotel and the folks who work there. The facility is very nice from friendly professional staff, cocoa and mint tea waiting for travelers when they enter, to good food served just about anytime around the clock. The bed was comfy, hot water was a bit off and on (had to step out of the shower a couple times so as not to get scalded or chilled). The location is centered near shops and restaurants. On my past travels I have found that the more luxury a place offers, the less cultural influences are present. Not true at the Sonesta Hotel. The amount of "luxury" didn't detract from culture. On the contrary, this hotel works closely with weavers from the co-op I visited in Chinchero. They have nightly, I think, shows in their main dining room that highlight the culture of the area. It's a breath of fresh air. Also want to mention that the staff took good care of us when our flights home got botched by the airline. They had avalabitily so we were able to not only stay a few extra days, but get late check out at 8pm to catch a late flight. And they were kind and comforting. We will stay at the Sonesta Hotel again if our travels take us to Cusco.
