Absolutely wonderful hotel in Cusco’s San Blas neighborhood

Reviewed By Julie T

I stayed here for 3 nights after my awesome Salkantay Trek with Alpaca Expeditions. My sons and friends stayed here, too. The hotel is beautifully decorated, the staff is really friendly and very helpful, and they speak great English. The rooms are lovely, with a small balcony overlooking the open air courtyard with fountains and plants. There are plenty of electrical outlets for charging smart phones, ipads, gopros, battery banks - you name it! Much appreciated. The bathroom had a terrific walk in shower, and the staff provides filtered water in a pitcher so you don’t have to buy bottled water or increase single use plastic consumption. Each evening the staff brings a hot water bottle for a comfortable night sleep (the air was quite cold evenings and mornings - its late fall early winter in May in Cusco, so it dipped into the high 30s), and they bring a thermos of lovely herbal tea. The hotel also has a spa and I enjoyed an incredible massage with Andean herbs and therapeutics - just what I needed after a hard, but fantastic 5 days of trekking at high altitude! The hotel is very fairly priced for the incredible service and amenities. I highly recommend staying here. There is a cool open air market around the corner from it, and restaurants close by. Its an easy walk to the Plaza de Armas.

This hotel is a hidden gem in Cusco. Only a block or two off the main plaza, it is in the perfect location. The hotel itself is classy and historical and the staff are all amazing! The rooms even had jacuzzi tubs and rain showers, which I did not expect to have in Cusco, Peru.

It was a good experience to stay in the hotel. Pro. Very attentive staff, safe enough to walk around even in the dark. Breakfast choices are good variations. Con Hotel room was noisy music from outside every night, even at 10 pm, loud music was going on. I used earplugs for 3 nights to get sleep.

Enjoy a peaceful stay in one of our sixteen rooms with great views to our inner patio or different iconic areas of the city, such as San Cristobal Church, Santo Domingo, and panoramic views of the city. Savour our delicious buffet breakfast served every morning complemented with a lovely view of Cusco.

Wonderful Experience

Reviewed By Gor N

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay at Atoq San Blas. Lenny and Ayde went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and were a pleasure to interact with. The location is excellent, in a less touristy neighborhood full of boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. The view from the hotel is beautiful. Cusco can be a bit cold in the winter, so the rooms can get a little bit chilly during the day, but the beds were warm/comfortable, the showers had plenty of hot water, and the heaters turn on in the evenings and early morning. The breakfast was delicious and very accommodating (quinoa fritters, eggs, coffee, tea, juice, toast, butter/jam, granola, yogurt). Luggage storage was available and we utilized this for the night we trekked to Machu Picchu (in between our two separate reservations at Atoq San Blas). Overall, we had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Atoq San Blas.

Outstanding Hotel

Reviewed By GeorgefromRhody

The hotel is clean, modern and love the breakfast. The dinner menu is good but limited but there are many options down nearby. I have to make a point here. I heard about the crime etc in Peru in general. I felt very safe walking around even at night. My wife was all stressed out over it. I think the issue has been overblown or has changed for the better. Cusco is a city with good and bad parts just like any other city. I loved Lima and the people are gracious and friendly and there is so much to do and see. Get out and enjoy it all, but start with this hotel and I think others will agree that it is a really nice hotel in a really nice part of Cusco. My only problem with this hotel was with this 1 girl who worked the desk out front. Many people I traveled with had issues with her attitude. Other than her, everyone else was top notch.

Great visit

A short walk from the centre, this was well located and surprisingly quiet given the Main Street it is on. Staff very friendly. Clean. Good breakfast. WiFi was awful though. We stayed an extra night due to one of us being ill and they were happy to arrange the extra booking and help us move room. Would happily return.
