We had a 3 night stay in Ollantay as a base for our trip to MP on our second day. We loved El Albergue! We had a room overlooking the rail line with a nice rear verandah. We were not troubled by any noise but enjoyed the excitement of the location. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was... More

This hotel is right on the train platform in the sacred valley. If you want to miss the altitude at Cusco (10,800') on the way to Machu Picchu, you can stay here at a more reasonable elevation of 9,200'. Believe me, it makes all the difference in the world if you are coming from sea level! Vans make the trip... More

Hostel is located at train station. Very comfortable beds, big rooms with charm. The towels were big and plush. Staff was friendly and helpful. We had a party of 10 that ate at the restaurant and everyone loved it . This was a great value and would recommend. It can be noisy, so bring a set of earplugs....

An unsual location right on the train platform shouldn't deter you from staying here. The rooms are reasonable size, clean and tidy. Showers can go from hot to cold without notice, which seems typical for South America. Breakfast is average, however dinner was outstanding. Staff are polite and helpful. All in all a good family hotel. Would stay there again.

This beautiful B&B in the quaint "Living Inca City" of Ollantaytambo proved to be the perfect headquarters for our Sacred Valley adventures. We stayed three nights in Room 16 prior to our MP visit and one night on our way back from MP in Room 11. Location- Perfect spot for exploring Ollantaytambo, which is really fun to explore on your...

We recently stayed at the El Albergue Hotel on a trip to see MP and the Sacred Valley. The hotel was beautiful and we loved our room. We had an upstairs room at the back of the property (Number 16) that was large, very comfortable and spotlessly clean! The staff went WAY out of their way to be sure that... More

Stayed here because we wanted to be near the train station to catch our train to Agua Calientes. The hotel IS IN the train station. Get a card from the front desk after you check in, as you need to show the train security guard something to get through the gate into the station area every time you come back... More

This is a great, relaxing home base for visiting the sacred valley and MP. Its very convenient, because the Albergue is already located within the same site as the train station. So, you can leisurely get out of bed, get ready, and walk downstairs to have breakfast before stepping out the front door to catch the train to MP. I... More

The B&B is at the train station, so getting to the train early in the morning is no problem at all! The room we had on the second floor had a kind of old feel to it. The beds were extremely uncomfortable, very lumpy. The noise from the train is quite loud. The floors are wooden, and every time you... More
