Hotel Taypikala Cusco
8/10 Good
"The location cannot be beat and the room was fully renovated and comfortable. The breakfast was simple, but lots of fresh fruit and great coffee. No complaints other than watch for random low ceilings if you are over 6 feet tall."
"The staff were all so nice and helpful. Breakfast buffet was great. Rooms a bit outdated but clean. Best thing was the hotel brought our bags to the train station after our trip to Machu Picchu so we did not have to go back to the hotel and pick them on our way out of Aguas Calientes."
"La propiedad está muy bien ubicada y el trato de las personas que atienden es muy bueno y agradable. Tuve un inconveniente con mi habitación porque era la suite del Inka !! y no tenía ventana , porque miraba a un muro de piedra. Felizmente lo pudieron resolver ."

There was a mix up at check in which resulted in us not having the room we booked.
The alternative room was ok.
Rooms were very clean but a bit on the basic side.
All staff were friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was basic but did its job.
The Kantu is a great location.
There was a lot of noise during the day as renovations were taking place."
