Nothing! We loved our stay.

The room was beautiful! And the breakfast area was so cute and charming!

The hotel has two names: Arqueologo and Casa Peralta — out taxi driver couldn't find it at first because Arqueologo wasn't listed on the entrance, but we made a call and it's all good from there

Love the quirkiness of the whole place — the court yards, the breakfast room, the staff, the location... feel laidback but not sloppy. Our room is a two-floor unit with a king bed so it feels like at home with a hotel service. It's also just a few blocks from the Plaza del Armas so it's closed enough for the actions without the tourist crowds. Staff are friendly, always ready to lend a hand. Highly recommend!

This lovely place has personality, charm and a great location. The breakfast room was probably my favourite place - full of light and positive energy. Staff was super helpful and friendly. We stayed here for a total of three nights and I would definitely come back.

The toilet and bathroom were slightly small and the breakfast was relatively basic. But this should not take away from the breakfast staff who were attentive, polite and friendly.

The hotel was in a great location and the staff were exceptional. Very helpful and would assist you with any enquiry or assistance you required. The room we had was very spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable. The hotel also had a lot of character and was not sterile like a lot of places are today.

We had a great time. The hotel has a great personality in itself, you can tell through the decorations. The staff was also great, very attentive and open to accommodate. The hotel has a really good location, not too high that you'll get tired walking to it, but also not to centric that you couldn't sleep at night because of the noise. A plus is that it has a heater, super important.

Second floor occasionally smelled like sewerage. Had to use towels to seal sink and shower.

Perfect location. Very clean and quiet.

the only thing we were unpleased about was the limited shower stream, but once we complained about it the owner fixed it and granted us a fair compensation for it

people were amazing, the location was very good except the need to climb in a high spot, the breakfast although was basic was served in a very nice balcony were we could admire great landscape of the city, and there were some nice goodies such as banana bread or lots of jams. the decoration of the hotel was colonial and very special, and there was unlimited clean and filtered water for private consumption, there was also all the time tea

Highly recommend staying here while in Cusco. The hotel is beautiful and has a great local feel to it, and It's only a 5 minute walk to the main square. The employees were super nice and helpful with any assistance I needed. I was usually picked up by guides at 4AM so I would be gone before breakfast, but they would hang a bagged breakfast to your door so I would have food for whatever I was doing that day. The room was really nice and had a great view of the mountains.

Nothing to complain :)

We loved everything about the hotel. The whole staff was incredible and friendly. The room had a big bed and it was very comfortable. We loved the fact that it's on a quiet location, but still very close from the center and all the tourist attractions. 10/10.

Amazing hotel, stayed two nights but a few days apart as visited Machu Picchu. Both rooms really different and very boutique. Very helpful staff, we have to set off early so they packed us a breakfast to take. Great location, very peaceful and near a great steak house.

My room (104) and the nearby 105 are just below the breakfast hall and they are a bit noisy. Main entrance door extremely heavy. Not properly shown on google maps

Located not far from the city centre in a historical building. Very nice hall and pleasant garden at the back. Extremely kind staff. Breakfast quite odd but good. I asked them to provide me oxygen for the night. They need with no problems. Thanks

Unfortunately the beds are stiff, had to use the comforter to soften it up, otherwise divine.

this place is fantastic. Quaint classic property being turned into something special. hard to compete w/ all the surrounding properties, but this definitely should be considered. The Staff is totally on top of things. Taxi, local suggestions for food & places to see in beautiful Cusco. so much history and perfectly located about 3 blocks outside the main Town Plaza. Beds needs some attention though. it's hard to sleep on such a stiff/firm bed. Breakfast is simple, but delicious. Joèl (*insert French accent) will fill you in during breakfast regarding the historic property & must see things in Cusco. Has a Spa or place for massage, but we didn't utilize it due to lack of spare time. This place is also very convenient, as we stayed 1 night before making our way to Aguas Caliente to be among the first to reach Machu Picchu. So when we returned for a few additional days, our suitcases were conveniently stored. *you are limited, in what you can take up to Machu Picchu (think backpack only), but would highly recommend staying here.

Location, breakfast (including breakfast to go if needed if needed due to very early tours), staff is awesome and really helpful, free water and tea 24 hrs in the lobby plus kitchennet with kettle, tea, coffee and utensils in the room. Very comfortable room and they also keep your luggages for free on your trip to Machu Pichu.
