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!
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.
Great experience at this hotel with my family while visiting Machu Picchu. Great river views from our rooms. Karrina at the front desk was the sweetest and most helpful person ever! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to stay in Aguas Calientes.
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.
Adorable hotel ran by a pleasant and thoughtful couple. I LOVED that when we arrived at night he was waiting for us at the train station to take us to the hotel. Actually he was so amazing that he took us to purchase our bus tickets for our trip to macchu picchu. And so not to confuse anyone everything is done walking so when I say he took us, I meant walking with us. The room was clean and well sized. Loved being able to take a nice hot shower before bed. Our beds were so comfy. In the morning we had pancakes and breakfast to order. We had coffee and choices of teas as well as fresh fruit juices. They offer box breakfast when you’re on the run and can’t eat in but I would try to make the time cuz it was worth it. They kept out backpacks from the morning until it was time for us to leave this lovely town and wonderful hotel. I only wish I could’ve stayed longer and I know everyone says you don’t need to stay longer but if you’re going up to macchu picchu then I think to stay one more night is an amazing idea and I definitely plan to do that the next time I go.
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.
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.
I was here for only a night so I can't really give a proper feedback. It really depends from the people you will find in the dorm, they were quiet annoying leaving lights on and the door open. But the hostel itself ha a nice young vibe, the staff is nice especially at breakfast. There is a common area you can use for working too, a breakfast area and they organize every day different activities. Nice terrace at the top with a nice view. My room was small but ok, with a small separate toilet and shower in it but unfortunately dirty and with wet floor. The window view was on the internal patio/reception so quiet noise too. There are lockers for your small bag and your personal stuff, don't forget the lock. Bed was nice and comfy, with light and socket. Perfect location, at the top of the main street, ofc quiet expensive in general but normal to be in Aguas Calientes. Breakfast was good and served at 4 or 4.30am so perfect for those that needs to hike or get the bus to Machu Picchu. Simple with scrambled eggs, juice, coffee and tea.
