The staff were like family and very accommodating. I HIGHLY recommend your next stay here. They were very helpful in so many way, that I wanted to stay another night. They kept my belongings secure, and even helped me carry my bag to the train station. Best wishes to the Staff and many fortunes.
Lovely place, very nice rooms with very repairing showers, the staff, especially Estefany, were always attentive with all our needs. The breakfast was varied and served prontly The location is very strategic, near to every thing (only half a block from the train station!!) I had a very nice time in this hotel.
This hotel was in a great location; in the center of town and close to the train station and bus stop. Bed was good; bathroom was nice; room even had a small refrigerator. Breakfast was plentiful including small pancakes; eggs; juices; fresh fruits.
When we originally booked here as we wanted to to be right next to the hot springs on top of the hill. Little did we know we were lucky to have been at the best hotel in this man made town! The hot springs are literally behind the hotel. Lots of shops will rent you a towel as well. The staff at Taypikala were excellent, friendly and very accommodating. For our entire stay they treated us as family. A special thank you to Melissa who went out her way to make our stay extraordinary!! We also wanted to note the complementary breakfast was great and the perfect fuel before our hike to Machu Picchu. Would highly recommend and will stay again on our next visit to Peru!
We were staying 2 nights in Machu Picchu so wanted a central based hotel - this was spot on right in the middle of the bustling town. 10 min walk from the train station and 5 min walk to the bus for Machu Picchu citadel. The hotel rooms were clean and tidy - very environmentally friendly. Great bar and eating areas - reception area very welcoming. You can leave your bags in their storage, if you check out and have a later train. The bar also has happy hour (so do most places!) You step out of the front door into one of the main streets, less than 5 min walk to the square. Can’t fault this Hotel - perfect location for a stay in Machu Picchu.
There is a lot of choice in Aguas Calientes and I chose the Amakonkay Machu Picchu based on the location in Aguas Calientes and the price compared to other accommodation and it was a great little place to stay for three nights. The location is perfect with shops and restaurants nearby, the bus stop to Machu Picchu at the end of the alleyway and the main square just around the corner. It is a short walk from the train station and the hotel folks are waiting for you with your name on a board. A clean and comfortable room and I had some of the best nights sleep at the hotel while touring Peru. The breakfast was large and tasty with half a huge avocado, ham, cheese, scrambled egg, breads, juice, etc. and while in Peru the breakfasts here were some of the best. The staff were really friendly and helpful and given the location, price , rooms and breakfast this makes for a good base in Aguas Calientes.
I’m a torn on this hotel. On the one hand, the service was fantastic. The staff were extremely helpful and were great to deal with. On the other hand, the photos of the hotel do not match most of the actual rooms at all. The rooms are extremely barebones and there are gaps between the windows and walls that you can see daylight through, the views were non-existent, etc. the door barely locked and could easily be forced, the windows didn’t lock, and it was extremely loud in the room. The photos vs reality is pretty much a bait and switch. I’m not sure if it is still under construction or renovation or what, but the rooms are absolutely nothing like what is depicted in the booking photos. I did walk by some rooms that appeared to be nicer, but the room we were given (and the several I saw next to ours) was not great at all. Additionally, there is no indication on the booking page that you will need to climb 60ish steps up a hill to the hotel. This wasn’t an issue for me but if someone wasn’t aware or unable to make the climb this could be a nasty surprise. We didn’t know this was the case until they sent us an email letting us know the day we arrived. Honestly I’d have given this 1 star if the service wasn’t as good as it was. Looking at other reviews, it appears one other person had our experiences but others didn’t. Perhaps it’s luck of the draw with the rooms but be aware that not all of them match the photos at all. For not much more money you can find other accommodations in the town that are far better.
No, it is not The Park Hyatt, but remember, you are in the mountains of Peru, readying for a trek, not shopping on Fifth Avenue. The hotel is clean, safe, quiet conveniently located to restaurants, the train station, shpos and bars...the beds are comfortable, the shower and wifi work fine, breakfast was more than adequate. The chap running th property was super friendly and helpful, going out of his way to look after us. Even after checking out and returning inn the afternoon we were welcomed with tea and a dry place to shelter. We'd come back here simply due the kindnesss we were afforded.
Es un hotel que opino con una excelente ubicación de lugares para comer y sobre todo si al día siguiente subes al macchu picchu porque está ahí mismo donde hacen la cola para el bus consetour. Nos gustó por su calidad - precio, limpieza . Ideal para una noche . Está ubicado en frente del Río con lo Cuál recomiendo cerrar las ventanas por el tema de los mosquitos pero que nosotros no tuvimos ningún inconveniente en cuanto a ello ni al ruido del Río.

PP250Think of the furthest from train station, bus to machu picchu and restaurants, there is this hotel. However the service is really nice and the room is real clean. They cook me this breakfast. i love it apart from the location.
