We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Tara. We had a beautiful view of the mountains and the stream. Hearing the sound of the stream and the birds were so relaxing. Roy was so kind and warm to us and was really helpful when my daughter had altitude sickness. He gave us great recommendations with everything we needed. The location was perfect for us, it wasn’t in the midst of all the nightlife but not far from it either. It was great to be so close to the line for the Machu Picchu buses - so convenient, we could just roll out of bed. A memorable stay with the warmest hospitality.

Disappointing

This is a great location if you are catching the Machu Picchu buses early in the morning, however, the hotel was less than what we expected and paid for. I would not recommend it to others.

Our room was very comfortable, especially with the blankets the staff provided. Cons were that our shower leaked onto the bathroom floor and the walls/doors were extremely thin so we were awoken a lot by anyone utilizing the stairwell. The breakfast was a little bit lacking - more variety would have been nice.

Our stay at the Tara hotel Machu Picchu was excellent. They had someone meet us at the train station to help with bags and to show us the location of the hotel. They allowed us for early check in and were accommodating our entire stay. Breakfast in the morning was nice, and they had eggs made to order. The location along the river was great and it was close to the hot springs in Aquas Calientes. We would definitely stay here again.
