Hotels Near Plaza Ollantaytambo in Ollantaytambo

I stayed 4 nights in this small(I think 15-20 rooms) hotel in October,2021. The main square ,where are the restaurants and cafes and tour services,is a 30 -second walk,yet the hotel is quiet.The only noise is from the gushing stream that passes by the side of the hotel.My room had a balcony that overlooked this stream. I slept with the balcony door wide open.Good bed,ample hot water. In my walks I saw more luxurious hotels in this historic,charming,walkable town but they appear to require a trek up the hill 10-15 minutes on foot. The staff was gracious,humble and very helpful.Dereck (manager?helped out with taxis and travel suggestions.English-speaking,fun-loving guy. The hotel is basic,no luxuries-but very clean,safe and perfectly located.I loved it there!

This hotel is perfectly situated between the Ollyantaytambo ruins and Pikuylluna. We were very comfortable at Parwa House. It was very clean and the gentleman at the front desk wasvery kind and very helpful. The breakfast in room by the garden was wonderful with fresh bread and fruit. The scrambled eggs were made perfectly. We would wish for less harmless, tiny bugs in our room. They are attracted to the white walls at night and disappear in the day. Also, a window cover in the shower would be a nice option (though all we it looked out to were trees). Small matters. Two of us didn’t know how to use the shower properly and had cold showers that was probably more our own fault 😂 than the hotel’s. Please note, you need to climb about 20 steep steps to get to the entrance off the main road. Backpacks are best to have (as opposed to suitcases). Ollyantaytambo is cobbled stoned, so I imagine almost all hotels are not suitcase friendly.

Mainly for the convenience of taking the train, no disappointment, very close to the station, save the trouble of getting up early, the surrounding scenery is OK

I was made to feel so welcome at this lovely mountain lodge by Edith and Stijn and everyone who works at Quecha's Lodge. The highlights for me were the location (mountain and river views from my room), the warm and welcoming service and breakfast every morning. Thanks for being so flexible when I wanted to add another day onto my stay, and for making me feel almost like part of the family while I was there. The river is loud but it's like white noise in the background and honestly a very calming presence, and just being able to open the door to such incredible views of the mountains and river put air in my lungs. The location is very good with it being a 5-10 minute walk from the centre of Ollyantaytambo, and 15-20 minutes to the station (with regular tuktuks passing if you need them). You can either walk along the road by the river (useful if you have wheely suitcases, as it's smoothly surfaced) or a quieter route along a cobbled path if you fork left as you leave the guest house. There's also a shop right next door which is useful if you need bottled water/essentials. The rooms could maybe do with a tiny bit of paint here and there, and maybe some lighting on the stairs outside, but everything was clean and the location and service were unbeatable.

This hotel is known for its garden and views, but other aspects leave a lot to be desired. In fact, the hotel was quite disappointing. The hotel definitely does not meet the standards of a boutique hotel, as it describes itself. - rooms are ok, conformable, but basic. - PREJUDICED treatment by the staff. I felt a huge difference in treatment between European and North American guests and Latin guests. I had never experienced this before in a hotel and I found it very serious. - It definitely does not work for long stays or as a base for exploring the Sacred Valley, precisely because it is at the train station. The place has a strong smell of BURNING FUEL, and there is TRAIN NOISE all the time. You wake up and go to sleep to the sound of whistles, which is very chaotic and unpleasant. - There are other much better options in the city. - It is about 10 minutes from the center, with a reasonable climb. And you have to wait in lines of train passengers to get into your hotel every day. - Breakfast is REPETITIVE AND WITHOUT VARIETY. Simpler hotels in the area had infinitely better coffee. However, it seems to be standard for the hotel, a jacket that other guests have complained about in past reviews and nothing has been done. They say they will improve in the responses to reviews and nothing has changed. - Professional staff, but IMPATIENT AND IRRITATED. They are resistant to simple requests. - I asked for computer at the reception to view a personal document that can only be accessed via computers. They did not allow me to use it, and there was no other available for guests to use. - A hotel of this value has no amenities whatsoever, only soap. There is no shower cap, skin moisturizer, cotton wool. I have never seen this in hotels that classify themselves as ”boutique”.
