Casa Hospedaje Hatun Quilla

The owner was very kind and helpful

Comfortable bedroom and good breakfast, very good location The shower wasn’t the best, but it was hot

The room was very clean, layout was interesting. Daily cleaning of room. Hot water was inconsistent, with little explanation as to why/when water would be available. I had 1 truly warm shower in the 3 days I stayed there.

They were very adaptable to accomodate us with our travel plans. we felt like we had a home in Cusco. The rooms are large and spacious. The staff is very kind and helpful. The water in the evening is warm, but it would be optimal if it could be hot; particularly in winter as we were very cold.

Julio and Yvonna are excellent proprietors of Hatun Quilla. Extremely kind and accommodating, even with the 1 million questions I would ask them. My husband and I stayed in three different rooms, twice with a kitchenette since we prefer to cook whenever we can, and booked a stay with them twice within two weeks (after returning to Cusco from a different city). The location is in a fantastic, easily walkable, and safe area and nearby both pharmacies (to help with the soroche) and grocery stores.

The location is perfect. So close to the main plaza but quiet overnight. Water pressure is a common issue in Peru. It worked out if you shower before 7pm or in the morning.

Please note this review is based on a double room with private bathroom. Please see my other review for twin room with shared bathroom. The hostel was close to the main square (5-minute walk) but far enough to avoid the chaos, including a 2-day long celebration with marching bands and fireworks. The staff were extremely friendly and allowed us to store luggage for 6 days for free while we visited the Sacred Valley, hiked the Inca Trail and visited Machu Picchu. Staff were also transparent about the water issues (not always the case in Peru) and advised us the best time to shower to get hot water. Extra blankets were provided though not required. Room was more like a chalet, split over two levels, and almost twice the size of the town room. Having stayed in a town room before the Sacred Valley/Inca Trail/Machu Picchu, I would definitely recommend paying slightly more for this room type. The only reason I have not rated this 10/10 is because the breakfast was on the basic side. N/a. It would be unfair to comment negatively on the wider water issues, especially since the staff were upfront about this on our arrival.

Twin room was spacious compared to private room in Lima and Nazca. Decent value for money in Cusco, though I would recommend spending slightly more for a room with private bathroom - it is around twice the size and more like a little chalet, split over two floors.

The room was clean, the shower was hot and the staff very helpful !

The owners were lovely, friendly and helpful. The area is close to everything and I was immediately emerged in Cusco's culture.

+ not far from main sites in Cusco - need to buzz doorbell to enter AND leave property - hot water didn't always work, and on the last night there was no running water at all

Not so clean. Found spider in the bed. Dust smell in the room

Great location, clean room, friendly staff. Good basic breakfast of x1 savoury bread roll and x1 sweet roll Room was a bit cold and dark. Shower never got properly hot but I understand this is common in Cusco!

The location is amazing, super centric. The staff is very nice and helpful. Good value for money. If you pay with card you need to pay 5% more.

Amazing place to stay in the heart of old town. Hatun Quilla exceeded my expectations - mainly because of Julio, the manager. He was incredibly helpful in anything we needed, tours, machu pichu, amazon, etc. We came back three seperate times between excursions and Julio was more than accommodating, allowing us to keep our bag in safe storage. The rooms were great and were cleaned every day. The location was just a bit outside the main square and inside a court yard, offering a bit of seclusion in busy Cusco. It was very well priced as well offering great value. Definitely stay here! The walls were thin so you could hear a lot, but that is the usual for Peru.

The staff were amazing, the place was nice, the location was great, and the price was affordable.
