    Fantastic staff. Coco and Anna were extremely friendly and helpful, gave us all sorts of advice for travelling in the local area. In addition there were clean bathrooms with hot showers, and WiFi which worked in every room. The location is also great, only 10 minutes walk from the centre of Cusco.

    Genuinely hot shower with excellent water pressure. Best I've had in 2 weeks in Cusco and Sacred Valley. The couple who run the place were very friendly and helpful. They helped me get a taxi to the bus station. I was also able to request a late check out, and they stored my things whilst I waited for my night bus. Comfy bed, good bathroom and all clean and tidy.

    Nothing! I thought the location on a main road might be noisy but it wasn't at all.

    Fantastic place to stay in Cusco. A short walk to the centre, but far enough out to be quiet and relaxed. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the shower was hot and powerful. But above all this, Coco and Ana were the best thing about El Tuco - so kind and welcoming. We had some great conversations, they helped us practice our Spanish and shared local knowledge and customs. Coco also makes an excellent breakfast! Thank you both 🫶🏼

    It's not clear in the booking but you pay extra if you want a towel and soap. Not bad though considering the price.

    Coco and Anna are extremely nice and work hard to ensure guests have a great stay! Clean, quiet, good wifi, hot shower with great water pressure! Kitchen and dining area to use.

    Coco & Anna are wonderful people who really helped me during our stay at El Tuco when my husband became ill. The location is good, a short walk from the historic centre. Breakfast is nice 👍 Shower is very hot!

    Spacious room with a comfy bed and a hot shower. Parking was included—highly recommended for motorcycle travelers. Fresh breakfast cooked at the time you choose daily. As has been mentioned, the hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful; it's clear that hosting travelers in their restored mansion and helping visitors have the experiences they want in Peru is a calling to them.

    The carpets could use a deep clean. The sheets on the bed weren’t very comfortable, and you had to pay to rent the towels.

    Very good value for money. The owner works very hard and even woke up at 4am to let us out one day for a tour (front door is always locked). Very good guy. Quiet and spacious room. Shower was warm. Good location too near enough to historic Cusco to walk.

    Cusco can be a bit cold at night in winter. Inés to wear warm clothes when going to bed, but it’s manageable.

    For young backpackers, this is one of the best in Cusco for you. Super helpful owner Coco and Ana who are so willing to help and really treat you like a friend.

    In walking distance from the Plaza del Armas, also has two supermarkets close by and a kitchen, so we dined in on our chill day after the Salkantay trek. The shower works great, we also had our wash done and on the day of check out we left our luggage in the storage room to pick it up in the evening. Coco and his esposa were very kind and helped us book a trip to the 7 Lagoons hike, where we probably would have had a problem getting back to Cusco had we done it on our own. Plus we got to practice our Spanish as they spoke slowly and well pronounced.

    The staff are extremely nice. Always smiling and happy to help. They really helped me when I suffered from altitude sickness. The room was big with a big bed. The shower had always hot water. The common kitchen is well-equipped. The location is 10 minutes walk from center, it has two supermarkets nearby. The place is quiet and comfortable, I slept very well.

    Nothing.

    Shower with very hot water, internet very fast, comfortable bed. Sounds basic stuff but a lot of budget hotels cannot even provide them well. Location is not close to Plaza de Armas. But that's good thing for those who don't want to eat in expensive touristic restaurants. Owners are precise and helpful people.

    Coco and Anna were very helpful to me, they made my stay great, and helped me as much as they could. The room was large and very clean, the bed confortable, the shower had a lot of pressure and hot water (more than any other hotel I have stayed in here in Cusco). The wifi was good too, but the best thing had to be the night when Coco invited us to his bar, located under the hotel, and offered to make us try some of his pisco sour ! It was delicious and it’s no one of my favorite cocktail 😅 a very good point is also the fact that if you’re hiking Machu Picchu, a storage room is available for you to use at the hotel ! I really enjoyed my stay, I would recommend and I’ll definitely stay here again !
