Room was clean and the beds were huge! The staff was so welcoming and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure we had all the information we needed to see Machu Picchu. They then delivered us our bags in the afternoon to the train station. The breakfast had a very nice variety and everything was delicious.

The hotel was in a great central location to the train station, mountain/river views, restaurants, and the hot springs. From the train station, you walk about 10 minutes. No cars are allowed to drive in Aguas Calientes. Hotel host met us at the train station to greet us and escort us to the hotel. We arrived about 1pm and were able to check into our hotel. We requested the highest floor with a view and they were able to accommodate without an extra cost. Unfortunately, there is no elevator. So if you have difficulty with flights of stairs, stay on the lower level. Room was clean and decorated with Peruvian decor. The room with the river view had incredible wate noise that was very soothing. Room was given portable heaters that needed staff help to operate properly. Hotel was conveniently close to the Machu Picchu bus pick up. It was a 5 minute walk down the sidewalk from the hotel. Breakfast provided included deli meats/cheeses, fruit, cereal, granola, sweet breads, jams, coffee, teas, juices. A request for improvement is to have a sign in the breakfast area letting guests know that cooked eggs are also available upon request. We did not know that eggs were available until our last morning. There are many restaurants, bars, and coffee shops conveniently located in our area and open very early to accommodate travelers taking the 5am bus up to Macchu Picchu. Laundry service was available in locations close by, very cheap and quickly returned to our hotel. Great place to recover

Great little hotel in Aguas Calientes. Large, attractive rooms. Brand new bathrooms. Quiet and peaceful. The staff are so nice. Cloti met me at the train station and helped me with my luggage back to the hotel. They also kept my stuff safe while I went to Mach Picchu after I checked out. Highly recommended. Would definitely stay there again.

Spotless room. Good service overall. Great for one night stay in Aguas Calientes before ascending Machu Picchu. They were kind enough to have someone meet us at the train station to direct us to the hotel. And the very early breakfast (starting at 5am) was much appreciated.

Room itself was spotless. Neatly kept. Huge bed. Four people can fit in one bed and then another queen bed. Not sure why we need such a bug room. No A/c probably because it is alway cold there but that gives the room a moist smell. The tap in the sink was leaking a bit but that is just ours.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Tara. We had a beautiful view of the mountains and the stream. Hearing the sound of the stream and the birds were so relaxing. Roy was so kind and warm to us and was really helpful when my daughter had altitude sickness. He gave us great recommendations with everything we needed. The location was perfect for us, it wasn’t in the midst of all the nightlife but not far from it either. It was great to be so close to the line for the Machu Picchu buses - so convenient, we could just roll out of bed. A memorable stay with the warmest hospitality.
