Sonesta Hotel Cusco

10/10 Excellent
"Every staff member was perfect. Even the airport shuttle driver…he was standing in the rain late at night waiting for me with a big smile on his face. Front Desk personnel were lovely and friendly. Breakfast room hostess was smiling, friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t say there was anything spectacularly special about the rooms but mine was spotless. I didn’t notice anything to indicate the room was tired. Breakfast options were extremely plentiful. I believe there’s plenty to keep everyone happy."

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate based on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, having some flexibility with your travel dates could help you find a better deal on your stay in a Cusco hotel. For those interested in distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you make a reservation through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price seems a bit high, we can suggest alternative dates that might help you uncover a more affordable option.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels located near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Cusco's fantastic public transportation options, you may find a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well connected. For those interested in exploring alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby cities, there is often great value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
