Rowdy, uncomfortable

It is true that this hotel is not close to the loud train station noise. However, our room on the 2nd floor faced the street there were loud, yelling, presumably drunk people out there ALL NIGHT. This wouldn't have bothered me 30 year ago. Hell, I would have been one of them. But when you want to go to bed at 9:00 pm so that you can get up at 4:00 am to climb Machu Picchu, this place is NOT what you want. Also, I'm assuming because it's a budget place, there were young people staying there who lack the basic courtesy to avoid yelling in the hallways and slamming doors at midnight. Windows don't close properly, which lets in the cold night air (and the aforementioned noise). The hosts were nice and helpful. They stored our luggage when we went up to Machu Picchu. However, if you want your breakfast at 5:00 am, you probably better tell them 4:30 am.

Good location

They message you after you book a room asking for train information so they can come pick you up with a sign with your name written on it. Location was good, just a few mins walk. I thought it would be a closer walk just because it's right next to the train station. But you actually have to go around the station to the other side of the tracks. Room was spacious, but bathroom was small. No elevator tho. They make you eggs on demand for breakfast. The rooms are not really facing the train tracks so it seems more quiet. But there are no trains arriving or leaving at night times so doesn't really matter. The town is very small so everything is so close to each other. Staff are nice, makes you feel like home.

Unpleasant service, no heating, loud. stay away!

No heat in the room, it got to about 40F, 5C overnight. You could hear everything from outside and next door through the walls. We had tremendous difficulty communicating our desire to change our reservation from one room to two with front desk receptionist. Given that two of us are native Spanish speakers, I don't expect language to have been a problem. We had to have an EXTREMELY unpleasant conversation with the building owner after they tried to increase the rate, despite the front desk receptionist insisting that we could check in, and that no extra fee would apply. Unfortunately, we paid this fee to avoid further discomfort and issues during our vacation. Hotels.com should get in contact with me immediately about this, as I will be calling as soon as I am able.

Nice stopover for MP. Staff were wonderful. Met me at the station on arrival. I was leaving for MP at 5am , they provided a bag lunch in place of breakfast. Also gave all the advise and directions I needed. I was ok but street noise may put off lighter sleepers. Tbh whole town seems like a very lively place. Good choice for a stopover before Machu picchu.

Opção par pernoite

Hotel simples, para pernoite antes da subida a Macchu Picchu (não passe mais que uma noite na cidade, não tem nada). A cidade não oferece muitas opções intermediárias (os hoteis são ou simples, ou mto luxuosos/caros), o hotel é bem localizado, próximo a estação de trem e onibus para subida a Macchu Picchu, o staff ajuda bastante (foram nos buscar na estação, guardaram nossas mochilas após o check-out e nos prepararam um café da manhã pra levar, pois saimos as 4 da manhã), mas do quarto pode-se ouvir o barulho da rua.

Great location, excellent staff.

When we arrived, Jorge the administrator of the hotel welcomed us giving all the information we may need regarding our stay in Aguas Calientes, including tips for getting the most out of our trip to Machu Picchu. He really likes what he does, and he is always willing to help you in anything you may need, awesome staff. The room was very clean, the bedding and the bathroom were very clean also, this is very important for us at the time of rating a hotel. The breakfast was simple but enough to recharge your energy before climbing the mountains. If you need they can wait for you at the train station to guide you to the hotel, even though is very close and easy to find it within the city.

One of the worst in a decade

Only good thing, it is close to the train station. Rooms are small, but that is no big deal. We were there in late August, the was no heating in the room, and we were cold all the time. (It is winter over there.) We asked for portable heater, they did not have any. We had no hot shower at any time of the day, when we complained, they said in a half a hour. But it never happened. We were on the 4th floor and right above us they were doing construction starting at 6:00 am, and it was going on all they long. Very loud hammering , sawing, etc. By the morning, bathroom sink was full of little bugs and flies. Hotel stuff did not speak English, and was not helpful with anything. Breakfast was very poor, we didn't even eat it. At check-out they tried to give me back wrong change, less of course. I would only recommend this hotel to my enemies if I had any.

Overall pleasant experience. Very helpful owner

I stayed one night here to catch the first bus to leave for Machu Picchu since it was only about a 5 minute walk to the bus stop. The owner was very helpful and provided lots of useful information about Machu Picchu and hyuana Picchu and suggestions on when to wake up and when to leave to catch our train back to cusco. He helped print our physical tickets for MP and made sure we had everything necessary to get there. Facilities and beds pretty clean. Only complaint I had were the dogs barking and people talking outside at 2am.

Don't stay here. I booked it especially as they said wifi and hot showers - I had neither. When I asked at checkout an incredibly rude man said it was my fault I had a cold shower as I never went to tell him (at 3.30am!). They turn the wifi off at night and blame the town which is not true as I had friends messaging me online to organise a different leave time. So because they turn off the wifi I missed a whole tour. The rude man said wifi is free so I shouldn't expect it all the time. When I checked in no one spoke English. There is a sign saying checkin at 11.45am however the lady told me I would have to wait until 12.30pm. Just a disaster, wish I had saved the money and had actual wifi and hot showers at a cheap hostel.

Nice place to stay at Macchu Pichu

We stayed for two nights around our trip to Macchu Pichu. The breakfast was basic and uninspiring, and the wifi was somewhat iffy, plus they change the password daily. Very early checkout time too. There are no elevators, so be prepared for stairs, but it isn't a super tall building either. The room was lovely and very comfortable, but somewhat noisy from the stairway because our bathroom had a vent window onto it and everything echoes off the tile, but when we closed the door it was better.

Goed gelegen hotel

Het hotel ligt dichtbij het station wat een voordeel is. Ook de bushalte om naar Machu Picchu te gaan is niet veraf. De kamers zijn proper. Ontbijt hebben we niet gehad, gezien we reeds om 4.30u naar Machu Picchu vertrokken. Nadeel is dat het hotel vrij lawaaierig is, slecht geïsoleerd. Je hoort alles wat er in de gang en op de andere kamers gebeurt. Het water om te douchen was niet echt warm. Wat betreft de betaling van de kamer, dit verliep ook niet vlot. Er werd op de website een prijs in dollar vermeld, terwijl de eigenlijke munt in Peru soles is. Als je geen dollars hebt en dus in soles wil betalen, rekent hij een voor ons zeer nadelige koers aan. Als we het bedrag in dollar met Visa willen betalen, rekent hij een commissie van 10% aan!!!! Dit is niet aanvaardbaar. Beter zou zijn de prijs van de kamer in soles te vermelden.

Adequate in Aguas Calientes

I stayed at the Kantu Inn during my visit to Machu Picchu. The hotel is not a great value for the money they charge, but everything is more expensive in Aguas Calientes, so it's about par. Wifi is pretty slow. The breakfast was VERY basic. I've had much better breakfasts in Peruvian hotels that cost far less. They could improve in this area. It is convenient to restaurants and transportation, but the town is very small so everything is conveniently located. They met me at the train station, which was nice, but didn't have a room ready for me even though I was pretty much at their check-in time.

Exceeded my expectations in every way.

Travelled with my Dad and we both loved this place. I am not a luxurious traveler and when booking I opted for a median priced hotel to save money. It was far above anything I expected. Two wonderful ladies from the hotel met us at the train and chatted and walked us to the hotel. The owners were nice and caring and gave us great advice on things to do and see in the area on top of the obvious. Friendly and genuine. The rooms were nice and clean. The bathrooms were nice and clean. Direct tv. The included breakfast was freshly cooked after you sat; with rolls and coffee/tea and a fresh cut bowl of fruit. The town is small, you can walk from end to end in 5 mins. The hotel is off to the side of the "main strip" but is meaningless. The good part too is that the surrounding area isn't in the main touristy area so cheaper convenience stores, restaurants and significantly cheaper laundry service. Laundry on the main strip is 10 soles/kg and around the corner from hotel was 3 soles/kg. Other FYIs: My review is based on what we received compared to the price we paid. In that regard, it was great. Just like all of Peru, the wifi isn't lightning fast. You won't be sending movies home but you can text via any apps. The shower water isn't burning hot but its warm and just fine. The room was spotless and clean. None of our things were moved or touched when we returned. The owners were great. The breakfast was fantastic.
