We arrived in Aguas Calientes and went straight up to Machu Pichu, so we didn't check in until early evening. Friendly staff, easy and quick check in. Room functional and fine for one night. A little dated, but it had a great view of the river outside and we were only using it as a base for seeing MP. Got... More

This is not a bad place, let me just say that from the start. Aguas Calientas is notoriously nothing but a tourist town, and the options for staying are very limited. I didn't expect to need a room at all, but soroche (altitude sickness) dictated a swift descent from the Inca Trail, mandating a room in AG at the base... More

We stayed here for one night. We got a 2nd floor room with a small balcony (although there is another door from the hallway that led to the balcony and to our room. Our room also had a door leading to the balcony). At first I thought it was great to have a balcony looking over the the river, but... More

We had a small room and a tiny bathroom. We did not have a view of the river, but we did have a "Private" balcony (they told us it was private, but there was a second door leading out to it from the hallway that anyone could access. No one did, but they could have). The room was small, but... More

This hotel is nice, the location is convenient, even though it' a bit far from the bus stop or the city centre compared to other hotels but we are talking about 5 minutes walk, Aguas Calientes is very small. We had a good room with river view, the breakfast was good too. A good hotel but the price is too... More

I think most of the places in this small town don't go above an beyond because they don't have to. There are a limited amount of places to stay in Aguas Calientes. People are only there to go to Machu Picchu. So you're stuck with what they'll give you. Given the magnitude of the ultimate destination, you have to accept... More

The hotels in Aguas Calientes are not that great unless you are willing to shell out obscene amount of dough for the few 5 star hotels that exist in the area. For us, Santuario Hotel was a good enough option for one night stay. The room was comfortable, but was not the cleanest room. You have to fiddle around with... More

Stayed here for one night and these are the comments: 1) Check out time is 9 am, which I felt is way too early! Considering we checked in around 4pm, after negotiation they extended to 10am. 2) Water temp is hard to control, my kid ended up with cool showers. Really bad. 3) Location is at far end of town...

Well, I wasn't expecting much having read the reviews of hotels in AC and not wanting to spend over $400 a night for the time we would be there, from our arrival at 6:00 p.m. and departure at 4:00 a.m. We were placed on the third floor in the back directly overlooking tin roofs of maybe a warehouse, even though...

We reserved a room 6 months in advance requesting a room with a river view. We said we didn't care if the room had 2 singles or a double bed; the view was more important to us. This request was again made by our agent the day before our arrival. Our agent also requested that we would be met at... More
