No thermostat

Breakfast & the location was great, we had to cancel the reservations because there wasn’t any heat. The weather was cold and rainy, cold air came inside the room from the door & bathroom window which didn’t seal/close properly. Large black spider visited us & we had to report no hot water… maintenance came ran water for >5minutes, ran sink & shower & flushed toilet to make water lukewarm. Front desk clerk was amazing & completely understood our needs, cancelled balance of reservations. Just know there’s no heat, nor air conditioner.

Uma casa com estrutura de hotel

A viagem ao Peru foi com a minha família, e estavamos em 5 pessoas. Para privacidade e conforto de todos achei ótima a opção de nos hospedarmos como se estivessemos em casa. Não vi os outros quartos do El Andariego, mas ficamos como se fosse casa mesmo. Sala, mesa para refeições, cozinha, três quartos e dois banheiros. Cama agradável, chuveiro com água bem quente, e apenas o café da manhã não sei se opino conforme a realidade oferecida. Tinha um passeio bem cedo e pedimos para antecipar o nosso. Fomos servidos diretamente na mesa com ovos mexidos, pães, geléia e manteiga. Esse é o básico em todos os hotéis do Peru pelo que notei. O prédio em si é antigo, mas achei muito charmoso e bem decorado. Nada que interfira na estadia. E a localização é ótima. Bem central.

Quiet and comfortable

El Andariego is in the best location. Right near the plaza and also a supermarket. The hotel is not on the street so you do not hear any traffic noise. It is incredibly quiet so probably not suited to those planning on partying and coming home late. Breakfast is nice and would stay here again.

We loved the fact that the property is in a great location. Walking distance to Plaza de Armas and many restaurants. Although it is located on a busy street, the property is not close to the sidewalk at all. It is also gated with cameras. We felt very safe there. Our room was very comfortable and had a fireplace that we used every night. They also serve good breakfast. We highly recommend this hotel.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We booked this hotel on the basis of tripadviser reviews but I think that they are not entirely accurate. The hotel is located in an old house. Our room was on the second floor right above the reception, so we could hear everything that happens there during the night and this was very uncomfortable. So, my take on pros and cons is the following: + It is very central, close to everything The staff is very nice trying to help at any point The breakfast is ok - not to die for but all right. - Can be very noisy Old rooms and showers (clearly in need of refurbishment) No safe box The outer gate locks at night and you have to wait outside hoping that they will notice you at the reception - this was not really comfortable. It worked OK a couple of times but the idea itself was not really great - we asked for a boxed breakfast before leaving to Machu Picchu and our request was effectively ignored. So, since this hotel is not the cheapest I think that you can find a much better deal in Cusco. And I am truly sorry to say that because the staff at the reception were really nice and helpful. That’s why I rate it as 3. Otherwise it would be lower.

We loved our stay here! We stay 2 separate nights here in the same room. The hotel was very charming, and the breakfast was nice. The location is great and makes walking around the city very easy. They were helpful in arranging our pick up from the train station. The room was very clean, and the staff were friendly.

Hotel próximo aos pontos turísticos, funcionários cordiais, limpo e café da manhã excelente. Pontos ruins: acústica do quarto (se ouvia todo muito barulho da área interna do hotel, como, por exemplo, movimentação dos hóspedes na área comum, da recepção, da área do café), falta um frigobar no quarto.
