Only stayed one night and yes the beds are a bit hard but the hypnotic river sounds quickly send you to sleep. Nice to watch the river. On the same road as the early buses to Mach Picchu. Breakfast was standard. The rooms were clean and tidy. All computers worked while I was there. Nicer than some 4+ hotels I've... More

If you get a balcony side room you are in luck. The view and sounds are breathtaking. I have never fallen asleep more peacefully than here. Otherwise, the hotel is nothing exciting. Standard room amenities. The beds were a bit hard but nothing to get too worried about, especially after a long hike at MP.

This Hotell was near the end of the village and therefor easy to catch the bus up to Machupiccu.. It had wiFi but only one of the computers in the lobby worked at a time. The rooms were fine and clean. The continental breakfast was wonderful and included your choice of eggs. There was no elevator, so if you were... More

No, this isn't a luxury hotel, but they do their best to make you comfortable. First, they put us in a room in back, but when we asked happily changed us to a room with a balcony at no extra charge. I loved being able to sit on the balcony and look at the river. To me, the noise of... More

We came during the slower season in January 2013, and had a great experience here. It was very clean and quiet (except for the roaring white water outside). We had an easy check in and check out, our room was very clean and comfortable. The shower was extremely intermittent, super cold, then super hot. Our room faced the street, so... More

Stayed here after the 4 day Inca trail with the family (2 children 11 and 8)- was assigned a 4th floor room-no elevators so had to tough it out climbing up. The room was comfortable and quiet, the river Urubamba flowing outside the hotel in its full fury was serene and comforting. However the shower was poor and we were... More

The hotel was very nice. Was not located in the centre of the town, but very close to walk there. The room we had was nice, with a little balcony where you can see the the river and the mountain you have to climb up to Machu Pichu. So you can mentally prepair yourself. The staff was nice and for... More

Aguas Calientes is the dumping off spot for the train to Machu Picchu and the jumping off spot for folks who are visiting Machu Picchu, as such all of the rooms in this town (I imagine) are going to be "well used." The folks at Santuario are nice, that is the best thing about the hotel. They offer a decent... More

It is, overall, a nice hotel.Best thing is that the river is next to it, and to sleep with that sound is priceless! Breakfast is good, too, and starts at 5 a.m. Service... Good. Works just fine. Not as nice as in Cusco, but good enough, so no complaints there. It is not in the town, and getting from the... More

A good, basic hotel with excellent views of the mountains and river if your room is located on the street side. The rooms located on back are dark and dreary. Helpful staff. Strange thing about the lock on the balcony door, it was like a bathroom door lock, with the twist lock on the outside. Anyone could have climbed up... More
