Peruvian Soul

What a lovely spot in Sacred Valley. Enjoyed walking the grounds, stopping for coffee, enjoying drinks at the bar to take to the courtyard and walking up the street to the local brewery. A beautiful setting in the mountains.

Good location. Friendly and helpful staff - ability to check in early after international arrival was great. Good breakfast too!

A splurge for our anniversary. Incredible to be steps away from the entrance gates to MP. Full food and board and everything was excellent. The staff were so kind as well.

Nice location in San Blas. Rooms were comfortable and breakfast was just what we needed before a day exploring Cusco.

Brand new hotel. Extremely polite and helpful staff. We stayed here at the beginning and end of our Peru trip, so we left behind some purchases made during the first stay - the hotel was kind enough to hold it for our return. Very good breakfast, well furnished and comfortable room. Location is just a few minutes from the Larcomar Mall. We did not take advantage of the hotel facilities other than the Japanese restaurant, that was very good as well.

Running a large lodge in a location reachable only by boat is not easy. These guys are doing an excellent job. The lodge now has good internet (Starlink) and 24/7 power unlike what it says in earlier reviews. Meals were quite good given the remoteness of the location. Excellent excursions catering to a wide variety of interests - we took part in 3. I was uneasy about living in a room with one side completely open but that was not a problem.

Beautiful location, nice rooms with an excellent view of the hills. My only regret is that we arrived in the evening and left early morning without being able to explore the grounds, these were full of birds. Dining room gave us a surprisingly good dinner. Breakfast was the usual variety.

This hotel is just a pit stop on the way to or from Machu Pichu. I found the front desk quite rude and unhelpful - they assigned us a dinner slot of 9 PM and refused to change it when we said we had an early start at 6 AM the next day. Fortunately the restaurant crew were much more helpful and found us seating at 7.30 PM when I talked directly to the restaurant manager. Room was barebones and tiny. I've see cruise ship bathrooms that are larger. We had one towel and one bottle of water despite the room being booked for double occupancy - had to call the front desk to get these fixed. The restaurant staff were very nice. The coffee shop/bar was also fine - we waited there on our way out for a while and the staff was attentive. Front desk staff were perhaps the only rude people I met in Peru in two weeks.

Absolutely beautiful hotel that was previously a museum. Our room was booked with two twin beds - and the staff went out of their way to upgrade us to a suite instead. We had one dinner and three breakfasts here - all meals were good. Friendly helpful and polite staff. Everything was very clean. Excellent bathroom.

The hotel is old, and shows in it's dated layout and low ceiling rooms. It's well maintained however and we had a comfortable stay. The dining room can get crowded with large tour groups so book your dinner seating in advance. The location is a bit remote, and Puno doesn't have any good restaurants in any case so visitors end up having all their meals in the hotel.

My room was absolutely unforgettable. I wish I had arrived during the day just to take in the breathtaking view — the river flowed right below my window, and across it rose a sheer granite cliff. Falling asleep to the sound of the rushing water was pure magic. I had the best night’s sleep of my life!

The service, food and rooms were outstanding. The rooftop bar was my favorite....

This was a very nice boutique hotel. Our room was on the top floor and was we could hear lots of traffic noise and loud music. But the staff was wonderful!!!

Cusco was my favorite city we visited. I loved this hotel and the location. Food was very good and the staff was also great. I will be back one day!

Julio was so great!!!!!

I can't wait to return and do the 4 day hike!!

Disappointed on this one. We though we were booked at Las Brisas North, the main hotel in the heart of the old town area. The photo is from that hotel. Instead we were booked in the Las Brisas South hotel which is on the outskirts of town in an affluent neighborhood. This made is difficult to do anything with our free time except eat at the fancy restaunts (we planned on seeing museums missed on our tour).

Tourist hotel. Well organized money-making factory. Our package included a dinner which was fast, but boring plus they charged outragous amounts for the beverages that were not included. Appropriate for a bus tour groups, but not people who want the small group experience.

Restaurant was closed when we went, maybe because the main road outside the hotel was under construction. Very few other options for dinner. Good hotel otherwise. Seems like a place Peruvians go for business conferences.

Fine hotel. Just tell them to get better coffee for breakfast. Worst coffee that we had in the entire trip, which was a big disconnect to the quality of the hotel.

Hotel of former glory. Fun experience. The 1920's rooms felt like you were in the movie "The Shining". Bar was a highlight and was packed with Peruvians having a drink after work. In the heart of the old town, so everything is walking distance.

This experience was misleading. It was a fancy restaurant with a traditional cooking method. I thought we would be in a village with guinea pigs running around. Also, they had their own coffee roaster and whiskey distillery which was good for getting gifts, but made the experience feel completely modern. Owner was fantastic and personable guy, so I wish him success. Food good. Just rephrase the description

So authentic

Perfectly lovely hotel to end our trip.

Bosco and Oscar were delightful and welcoming

Nancy was so natural and passionate. Super informative. A reservoir of the cities history and culture. She was amazing. As was the food

Exceptional

wow fun delicious meal

Fabulous

The hotel TV and aircon didn't work well. Room was basic and had a slight moldy smell. Would have also liked a hotel with a fitness center. Although they advertised one they didn't have one. Service in the bar was not as friendly as reception and the restaurant.

Extremely well organized by Peruvian Sol and our guide and driver. Train travel was ok and worth paying for the upgraded experience. Bus travel to and from Machu Picchu was rough, scary, and seemed dangerous. Unfortunately, it's the only way to the site unless you want to hike up the hill which requires a lot of time and to be in good shape. Overall the site was crowded and so many people taking social media pictures it wasn't the best experience.

Highlight of the whole trip!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! The food was amazing, the service was stellar and the ambiance could not be beat! Did I mention the spa? Wowza! What a great time. Next time, we will stay much longer!

What a great getaway right in downtown Cusco. A fantastic breakfast set up with an open patio in the center of the building.

An oasis in a jungle setting. Be aware that this is truly a jungle retreat. Enjoy the hammocks outside your bamboo room for a good nap or a good book. Definately try the shamanic yoga and remember that the bats flying overhead are friends eating bugs. The scents and sounds of the jungle surround you with some of the best vegan cooking we have ever had. And the massgae/acupressure treatment was amazing! We also enjoyed the medicinal plant walk - we learned so much!
