Hotels Near Sacred Rock at Machu Picchu in Urubamba

Summary: Inkaterra has a wonderful setting and property, situated at the Machu Picchu train station. The food is good and plentiful. Service from the staff can be quite mixed. If your room smells like wood smoke, you probably want to switch, so everything you own doesn't smell like wood smoke. That said, we would stay there again. The convenience of walking out of the train, up the ramp and the Inkaterra porter is there to greet you and take your luggage is wonderful The hotel's beautiful location, situated in the cloud forest at about 6,700' with lush vegetation, has views to the river, train and town below. The individual rooms/ cabins (or casas) are sprinkled across the landscape and up the hill. The service could be very mixed. I had difficulty at check-in with the reception because a new employee, who also had more limited English, didn't know what she was doing. At each stumble, a manager would eventually step in, but it was so frustrating. Reason for only 4 stars: The cabin (#18) for my husband and I had a fireplace and a lovely room BUT it smelled so strongly of smoke that my asthma flared and our clothes, as well as our duffel, stank for days afterwards or, until washed. The property was full that night and after my struggles to check in, we stayed put. Breakfast and dinner were included for us and the food was very good, as was tea time. There were 2 choices each for the starter and for the main course, as well as multiple dessert options. The kitchen was very accomodating to my food allergies. Thank you!! The Welcome cocktail was our first Pisco Sour and worth drinking! Finally, the ecology center and the rangers/ guides there are very knowledgeable and interesting. Machu Picchu is clearly the star of the show but it's located on the eastern slope of the Andes and the ecology, terrain and birds there are very interesting. The hotel has multiple feeding stations that attract colorful birds of many kinds and are so easy to see. While walking the orchid trail, we saw a Cock-of the-Rock, a big deal for serious birders and one of the amazing birds of Peru.

Hotel Luz Garden was great! The staff treated us like family and were very nice! They came by each night to see what time we wanted breakfast and even let us stay in our room a little later so we didn't have to set around town waiting for or train. I will definitely stay here again.

Comfortable and nice clean room with hot water. Great view right on the river - with all the negatives and positives. Very testy breakfast with super helpful staff (if you speak spanish :) ). We were given a map with all the helpful tips. Got issues with wifi though, but we stayed just one night so it didn't bother us

I was really impressed with this hotel. Sure, it's basic, but it has everything you need. The front desk staff was super helpful and spoke English well. Breakfasts in all of Peru, as I found, were simple, and this was no different. But they had eggs and toast, coffee, juice and tea so I was happy. The beds were comfortable and the views are great. I do recommend this hotel! It's super clean, too.

The hotel is one of the most picturesque I have seen. Gardens blooming with flowers and surrounded by mountains. Makes you want to spend more time in the hotel itself which we did not have since we had to leave for our tour in the morning itself. The lobby is warm and welcoming with a fire and hot teas. The food was great and so was the service. The rooms were a little cold to start with but then became comfortable and bathrooms had all amenities.

Good environment, good location, you can take the train directly to Machu Picchu at the hotel. The room is large, with Walk In Closet. Good service.

Amazing place in Urubamba! I rested here for two nights and wouldn’t wish for anything more. The room was very comfortable with big bed, tall ceilings, hot shower and two heathers. Breakfast was super yummy and dinner was even better ! Highly recommend to stay here if you are traveling through Sacred Valley (Pisac doesn’t have nice hotels like this and is only 30 min away)
