Hotel in zona Huancaro Ecological Park, Cuzco

Incredible, absolutely wonderful experience. Words cannot express my gratitude towards Giara,Walter and all the wonderful stop at Katharine Apt Hotel for taking such good care of me. First of all the location is very close to the airport, a nine dollar taxi ride. It is perfectly located on the main street close to everything at walking distance. Major grocery stores 11 minutes away main Plaza 10 minutes away, walking, Mercado San Pedro 15 min walking. My check in experience was a breeze. I just notified the business right next door, Peru, rail office who got Giara who is a sweet, adorable person. Right away I knew I was in good hands. She showed me my apartment which was apartment number nine. I had two beds and they were so clean. Pillows and sheets smelled impeccably clean. The place was beautiful. I had a kitchenette with a microwave and stove top. I had limited kitchen equipment, but I asked Giara to provide me with more things and she was helpful. I had piping hot water, toilet paper, and even a wonderful kettle to boil my tea. They provide you with a breakfast menu and every morning I texted her on WhatsApp to tell her what I wanted for breakfast. They had good options. It was so nice to have someone make breakfast for you. She was so sweet what really impressed me however, was for the first day I arrived in Peru I had a severe case of altitude sickness. It was so bad I seriously thought I was gonna die. I wasn’t able to walk get up or do anything so Giara called the doctor to come and visit me. Her partner Walter went to the drugstore and got me an oxygen tank and some altitude sickness pills. The doctors visit and the pills cost me $70. The doctor also gave me pills included in all this price incredible within two days I was all better and able to go to Machu Picchu. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without them because I am a solo traveler. There is nothing more scary than getting sick when you’re in a foreign country thank you Giara, Walter, and all the staff at Katharine apt hotel. I will be back, and I will always stay here. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Cusco. The price is incredible, the staff go above and beyond for you, and if it rains, they even provide umbrellas! What more can you ask for? I am so grateful I stayed here. ❤️

Carmen, la sua famiglia, e il resto del personale qui erano fantastici. Ci siamo stati un gruppo di 15 persone che rimase qui e sono stati così utili e accoglienti. Lavorano così duro e il posto è così accogliente e invitante a causa di questo. Se torno a Cusco, rimarrò qui!!

Un grande piccolo punto per rimanere a se si sta facendo bagagli o trovando un viaggio di giorno troppo. La posizione è buona e anche raccomandata da alcuni dei nostri amici 😊 Abbiamo iniziato a pianificare il nostro prossimo viaggio anche nei paesi vicini e ci rimarremo presto.

Il nostro soggiorno a Casa de Mayte è stato incredibile! Il personale è molto accogliente e parla buon inglese. Il desk front può aiutare a pianificare e prenotare i vostri tour e guide molto facilmente. Le viste dal quarto piano erano solo respirare. Ogni giorno si sveglia alla vista di Cusco e delle sue belle montagne! Il posto comprende un delizioso colazione, letti fluffy, wifi e tutto il resto che avresti bisogno. Mi sono innamorato di questo posto e sarei sicuramente tornato presto! Grazie mille :)

Wonderful staff. I came with a group tour which I had to leave due to ill health. Waiting for my travel insurance repatriation they let me stay in the room on a day to day basis (they were quiet so I know this would not be always available) but never made a fuss about it. They were also very good being a go between if my Dr or Travel company support rang and asked them to do something.

The website pictures are misleading and look much nicer than it is - the room images are bright and look very hotel-like, but my room was a lot darker. It’s much more of a hostel. For 100 USD a night (without breakfast) it’s a lot, especially for a hostel. I had an early start for Machu Picchu (as I expect most guests do staying here) and yet there were some very loud banging and renovation works on my floor until 9pm and then I didn’t get to sleep until 1am due to other loud clearing up noises downstairs plus loud talking. I messaged reception at this time and they said they were asking them to quieten down. I’d booked to come back here a couple of days after my hike - if I hadn’t pre paid I would’ve definitely gone somewhere else. That said, the second time was better as I asked to stay somewhere quieter. On a more positive note, friendly reception and appreciated being able to store my luggage, helpful that the airport transfer could be arranged and great location.

This is a beautiful building in a great location. The doormen and reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean with most amenities. I was however quite shocked to find paper cups in the room to drink tea from. I’ve never come across that before! I had to put one inside another so’s it didn’t bend when I picked it up. The bed was large and comfortable although it was quite noisy from very early in the morning as breakfast starts at 4.30. Breakfast was adequate although we found it hard to get orange juice. Papaya was the juice on offer . The bar and restaurant were very good. A great hotel in a great location to explore Cusco.

Ottimo albergo pulito e di ottimo livello, bella struttura. In centro a Cusco, comodo per esplorare la città a piedi, non lontano dall' aeroporto per il quale prenotano la navetta. Personale generalmente molto gentile a parte qualche receptionist, Meglio conoscere lo spagnolo che l'inglese. Buon ristorante, ottima colazione.

Illa B&B looks over the city of Cuzco and provided us with the most lovely place to stay in the city we could have hoped for. It is central with breath taking views, has the right price and extremely helpful staff. The small breakfast included on the terrace each morning just adds even more to this cute little hotel. The staff were welcoming and helpful and were always willing to lend a hand with any request. We stayed here before and after doing a trek to Machu Picchu and just found it the perfect place to stay. We would recommend this little B&B to anyone going to Cuzco for a holiday you wont be disappointed. Many thanks from Scott and Jade guys :)

Such a great hostel! Really good vibes, perfect chilling spots and very comfy beds. I was with a group of friends but it would be good for solo travellers too as we met loads of people. Very clean and the staff are super friendly and helpful. They also have free yoga classes on Thursday and Friday mornings if you love yoga!! Couldn’t recommend more.
