I highly recommend this property for the staff, service, area, views, breakfast, cleanliness and amenities. The hosts and housekeeper are outstanding and went out of their way for me on many occasions. I can highly recommend the third floor room facing the ruins. What a view! The bed looks a comfortable, extra blankets are available, there is hot water, and they go out in d their way with breakfast, check in and cleaning.

This hotel was perfect for a few nights in Ollantaytambo - close to the downtown area but also close to the train station for an early Machu Picchu train departure. The family who runs it is so sweet - they make breakfast for the guests and will even pack up a to-go box if you have an early morning. The rooms are fine and can be a bit loud with the main road to the train station nearby, but the experience here was wonderful overall. We thoroughly enjoyed our time staying here!

We loved our stay. The owners are awesome. This is a very convenient location. The room was great. There was consistent warm water and the Internet was usually good. The road next to it is busy making it a little loud, but that would be true for all the hotels in the area.

It is an excellent location close to restaurants and the train. We were able to store our bags there while we went to Machu Picchu.
The sound of the river outside our window helped us fall asleep

Overall nice looking property, very nice front desk gentleman who helped with our suitcases, attended to our needs and was kind enough to make us breakfast bags because we had to leave early. Would have preferred a fan for air circulation.

Hotels.com failed to indicate that this isn't a hotel, it's a hostel (it's painted in giant letters on the building). The staff were nice and the breakfast is simple, but cooked to order. It's also close to the train station to leave for Machu Picchu. However, the rooms weren't very clean, there was lots of blue washing soap left on our sheets that never dissolved in their laundry, and here was the biggest issue: the constant all-night noise from the road outside our window. It was like a CIA sleep deprivation exercise. No amount of white noise from your phone can cover it. You will begin to believe that you're lying down on a highway with non-stop motorcycles riding by. You will fall asleep for 4 minutes until the next loud vehicle goes by and wakes you up again. The back of the property abuts a gorgeous river and, if there are rooms there, you'd likely be safe from noisy traffic hell. But you're doomed if your room faces the street. We had to "wake up" (read: get out of the beds we never fell asleep in) and visit Machu Picchu like the walking dead. The entire point of a hotel (or, as here, a hostel), is to sleep. This property failed that requirement. Therefore, despite the friendliness of the employees, it earns 1 star.
