Hotels Near Parque de la Madre in Cusco

We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Cusco for 4 nights total - 3 before our Inca Trail trek with Alpaca Expeditions and 1 night after the trek. We arranged with HGI to store our large luggage while we were gone for the 5 day/4 night trek. Very simple process to do this and all our belongings were kept safe and sound and returned to us in good order. Overall the HGI was a good place to stay. It is is about a 15 minute walk from the Plaza de Armas, uphill all the way. We didn't mind so much since that helped get us ready for our trek. It's in a quiet area. The Plaza is quite busy and noisy, and was especially the night a political rally was being held. I was glad our hotel was not right on the plaza that night. Rooms were a nice size. Our first room was a king-size bed with a view of Cusco. The second room had a view of the courtyard. Both had hot showers, room safe, blow-dryer, and toiletries. One thing to note is that the hotel floors are reversed from the norm. You enter the lobby at street level and then go DOWN to floors 1,2,3, and 4. Ask for a room on Floor 2 or below. Floor 1 is right underneath the lobby and we were kept awake by the sounds of walking, chairs scraping, etc. until quite late at night after we returned for one night after the trek. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and offered quite a variety of choices. The main reason we give this HGI only 4 stars is for the laundry issue. After a week in Peru, we needed to do laundry when we arrived at HGI. Yes, there are laundry facilities in the hotel. However, you can't just put in a few soles, add your own soap, and wash a load. Noooo, they have it fixed so that you MUST purchase a packet of tokens, detergent, and softener from them for a whopping 52 soles!! That's outrageous and taking advantage of a ”captive audience.” Well, not these guests. We simply bagged up our laundry and dropped it off at one of the dozens of laundry shops on the street right around the corner. It cost us 36 soles AND we supported a local, family-run business. Win-win. And boo on HGI for boasting about laundry facilities they actually charge an arm and a leg to use.

I had the best experience in Selina Saphi, I have no words to describe, the people I met there were amazing, super careful and careful with me. Thanks to Alvaro, Alex, Renato, Yamile, Patricia, Arnaud, Adrian, Arturo and all of the reception, I was very well treated and welcomed by all. About the rooms and common areas, everything very clean and organized. Every day she has some activity to make it super fun and where many people are known. I have recommended Selina to my friends here in Brazil and I hope to host me again. Thank you very much for making my trip even more unforgettable ❤️

The hotel itself is good in terms of environment and hygiene. The location is halfway up the mountain. To get to the Plaza de Armas, you have to walk up a steep slope and then a short stretch. So if you like quietness, sitting in the hotel and watching the scenery is a good choice. But if you have to travel every day, it will be a bit hard to get back to the hotel, so of course you can take a taxi. The photos of the hotel are archived. The big slope is the one at the entrance.

Very good stay experience. The hotel is in a good location, just next to the weapons square, very close to everywhere. The decoration style of the hotel is fresh, the manager and staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the environment is clean and tidy. Going to Machu Picchu luggage can be stored at the hotel for free, and the service is very thoughtful. Absolutely praise, highly recommend going to Cusco to stay at this hotel.

I stayed here with a friend for a couple of nights at the beginning of June and can’t recommend enough. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Clean and modern we really enjoyed the room and the facilities of the hotel. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to return

We spent a night in Cusco after a 3-day Sacred Valley/Machu Picchu Tour. The location is excellent - just a few blocks from the main square with plenty of cool shops and restaurants on the narrow cobblestone streets right nearby. The hotel itself was also very cool architecture with amazing views from inside the hotel (which is actually an outdoor courtyard). Breakfast was tasty with eggs made to order. Staff was also very helpful with directions and luggage storage. Unfortunately the windows of the room do not seal out any noise - it’s as if the window is open directly to the street. And Cusco drivers love to honk their horns at all hours, so unfortunately our sleep was interrupted. If I stayed here again i would bring earplugs!

We stayed at Hotel Taypikala for our weeklong stay in Cusco. The hotel was nice, the staff was very accommodating, they even prepared sack breakfasts for us to take when we had 4am pickups for our hiking trips! They have oxygen available in the lobby if needed and staff at the desk 24/7. All the staff speaks English which is so helpful. Hotel is within walking distance of the main plaza which is great. The breakfast in the mornings is delicious with a lot of selection and the dinner at the restaurant at night is great and convenient after long days of hiking! Highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Cusco.
