The 10 best Bed and Breakfast Inns in Ollantaytambo, Peru

May 5, 2023 Sachiko Swiger

Ollantaytambo has some of the oldest continuously-occupied buildings in South America. Once a stronghold of Inca resistance to Spanish colonization, it's remarkably well-preserved. Many travelers visit Ollantaytambo because it's the beginning of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, but don't rush through—the ruins are fascinating.

Apu Lodge

Apu Lodge is a boutique bed-and-breakfast located in the pedestrian Inca streets of the village of Ollantaytambo and its position on a terrace gives it a fantastic view from all rooms. It has spacious gardens, visited by humming birds, hammocks to relax in after your hike to Machu Picchu or other ruins, and is very peaceful. All rooms have views, private bathrooms with excellent shower and are furnished with simple elegance. Dinner is served in our restaurant. English spoken and excellent advice given on local sites, tours and taxis can be arranged. Please call from the plaza for assistance with luggage as there is no vehicle access.

A Mixed Experience in a Beautiful Setting

Reviewed By doctorbobster

Booked into the Apu Lodge by our travel company, we had a mixed experience. Plus: the grounds are beautiful and relaxing. The garden with hammocks and hummingbirds surrounded by the sound of wind and rushing water is striking. The lodge has a charming rustic feel. Breakfast was solid. It's a short walk to the central plaza and ruins. Negative: the sound isolation in each room is poor; get a second floor room so you do not hear the people above you. We had ants. The electrical outlet situation is poor. The WiFi is weak. The hot water ran out leaving only a cold shower. Ollantaytambo is a beautiful area and I would return to this village, but not to the Apu Lodge.

Add to Your Bucket List!

Reviewed By Z7652ZBkristenm

Add This To Your Bucket List! We added a night here to the end of our Peru trip for a different kind of adventure after our Sacred Valley & Inka Trail to Machu Picchu trek. It is a splurge but I think worth it as it is more than a hotel, it is an experience. Our nightly fee included breakfast & dinner (excellent) in their spectacular cliff top glass restaurant & bar and also optional (not for the faint of heart or unfit) zipline & climbing activities. (Although I would advise you to clarify what is included, what is not as it is not clearly stated anywhere that I could find. Also there is no indication of prices of mini-bar snacks in room or a printed menu with prices at restaurant and so we were surprised at check out with some shockingly high prices for lunch and Oreos & Pringles from the mini bar. It is our only complaint, but too bad to leave with a bit of a bad taste and feeling taken advantage of. Prices, especially when very high, should be listed so there are not unpleasant surprises at check out.) Having read about the other glass capsule hotel, Sky Lodge, I would say that this requires much less physical fitness & ambition to reach and offers more luxury and creature comforts. It is also in a very beautiful mountainside area away from the main road so no concerns with light pollution or noise from the highway below. Service was very friendly and excellent. Jose who runs it was super helpful. Our guide, who showed us around and led our activities was great. The restaurant staff was also very friendly and attentive. A taxi will take you up a winding mountain dirt road (30 minutes from train station) to the reception area where you will be warmly greeted with tea as you check in. You will leave any heavy bags here and pack your daypack with what you need for the night then your guide will take you on a 25 minute walk up a trail to the top of the mountain- you will be met half way up with a fresh passion fruit juice to enjoy while you rest & catch your breath- and then you will arrive at the mountaintop restaurant & bar. We had a very nice lunch here and marveled at the view before we were shown to our room. Even the bathrooms for the restaurant have a wall of glass for a breathtaking view. From here it’s a short but somewhat strenuous 5+ minute walk up a trail to your capsule or dome. Our capsule was pretty easy to access down a few steps, through the top hatch & down a ladder to the interior. (Some apparently require you wear a safety harness due to a more precarious entrance.) As long as you are steady on your feet and least somewhat fit you should be fine. It was divided into 3 sections with fabric shade dividers to pull down in case privacy is desired. But not a lot of privacy so…. It slept 4 people. There were 2 single beds in the center section & a large double (queen?) in the end section. At the other end was a large jacuzzi bathtub (we gave up trying to get it full of hot water) , sink & flush toilet. There was also a well stocked mini fridge (although bring your own if you don’t want to pay $8 for a small pack of 4 Oreos) & a tea kettle. (Didn’t use any so not sure if we would have been charged for the tea bags) Electricity & spotty Wi-Fi in the capsule. (Good Wi-Fi in the restaurant.) Water in sink filtered & drinkable. Windows open for ventilation which was necessary when the sun was out. Cold at night but comfortable beds & plenty of warm bedding. Curtains for privacy. Really very nice. Clean. A bit like living on a glass boat but with sky rather than sea around you. The views are just amazing. And thrilling. If you want a little less thrill but still the views and beauty, try the glass domes rather than the capsules. If you are in the area and can afford it, don’t miss it!

脏乱差到极点的旅馆,去过46个国家这大概是我见过的最恶心的旅馆。给我们104号房,地板是破的,墙角是缺的,毛巾是潮的,衣橱一层灰,都不知道怎么放衣服,水龙庭只有冷水。在他们网站上的照片里,墙上有电视机,我们只看到了几个破洞。这种地方也可以被称为旅馆?不是做梦吧!Total disaster: floor is broken, closet dusty, towels half wet, no hot water in faucet. In their room picture it is supposed to have a Wall TV, no, not there. I have never seen a dirtier hotel room after traveling 46 countries.

Casa Patacalle is a gem. Eddy is an extremely kind and helpful host. I spent just over two weeks in the house and Eddy was beyond accommodating to make it the best stay possible. The house is calm and peaceful. The breakfast pancakes were my favorite along with the fresh juice daily. Thank you Casa Patacalle for the beautiful stay- I'll be sending friends your way and hope to be back one day!

The worst accommodation I’ve ever experienced. Rudest/creepiest/nastiest family in all of Peru

Reviewed By Jesse R

Worst accommodation experience I’ve EVER had. It was a literal nightmare staying here. Please read everything… if I could give this place a 0/10 I would. The family that runs this place is the WORST. The most rude, creepy, intrusive, irritating, clueless host family I’ve ever met in over 50 countries of travel. Owner walked in to our room TWICE without knocking, seeing me completely naked. Never apologized. they just laughed outside the room. The first time trying to tell us to switch rooms to a different room then the one we booked and already paid for. the second time walked in the room 20 minutes before checkout time to tell us to check out. the owner stuck his finger inside my mothers tea when she said it wasn’t hot, to prove to her that it was. the daughters that work there are the rudest nastiest humans I’ve ever met. literally screaming(!!!) at us for the 30 soles for parking that they never even told us about. everyday we were harassed by this family. They ruined our stay completely and I’ve ever seen anything like it in all my life. I’ve never been more disgusted at any stay in my life. I hated it here and if after reading this you decide to stay here.. well that’s on you

Lindsay, a very nice Canadian woman greeted us at the front desk. She had everything laid out in regards of our room, breakfast and very helpful with planning any trips around the area or sightseeing. The room was clean, space heaters were available and the shower was warm, everything we needed and wanted. I would highly recommend staying here, it’s also very quiet and the rooftop patio has an amazing view. Try and get a room on the top floor to really take advantage of this view.

We read other reviews and like some we could not fault this lovely place, we did not have to pay deposit, only when arriving, There were four of us and Juan could not have been more helpful, situated only two minutes or so from the main plaza, where you can get bus back to Cuzco or from Cuzco, depending on when you are travelling, During Winter season train runs from this town and not from Peroy Station in Cuzco. This is a B&B, we were offered Toast, Eggs Scrambled or fried and tea or coffee, plus juice, would highly recommend this place to other travelers. Thank you Juan for a wonderful stay.
