Overall Ratings & Reviews SACRED STONE BOUTIQUE HOTEL

Even thought the stay was short we had a great experience with the staff and very accommodating and the breakfast was delightful. Ohhh the sound of the river at night it was amazing.

We loved the location and warm welcome from the staff. However when we arrived at the room it was not in the best condition. Beds were comfortable and the sound of the rapids which came through the window, felt like a natural white noise. Breakfast included was continental and coffee was strong but very good. It is ok for a night but would not come back again.

This hotel was fantastic! They will meet you at the train station and walk you to the hotel so you that you don't get lost. We had a Riverside room and the river was so loud but we loved it and even slept with the window open for the white noise. We went to Machu Picchu in the morning and they had no problem storing our book bags until 3:00 p.m. when we caught the train back to Cusco. I definitely recommend!!

People are very friendly. My room is clean. It’s good.

Great for what we needed it for while visiting Machu Picchu

Great location, staff are really friendly and accommodating and also good value for money.

Dirty, rundown hotel. Room wasn’t cleaned, still had trash from previous guest and bugs found in room and sheets. Door didn’t lock. Hotel offered to watch our things after checkout and items were never stored in secure place. Do not recommend.

Very dated Looked aged Not attractive at all Towels were extremely rough from being dried outside Shower floor was unsafe , as it was extremely slippery Awful furniture

This hotel is convenient and walkable from transportation, it is generally clean but not well maintained. The bathroom was noticeably bad though. The faucets leaked, it made strange (loud) noises and it didn't smell very good.

This is a small hotel 5 minutes walk to the Inka Rail and Peru Rail train station and 5 minutes to the Machu Picchu bus pickup spot. The hotel is not a three star but worth the $84/night considering that we only had to spend one night. Good value for the money. They set up a nice free BF at 5:30 am for those trying to catch a bus for 7:00 am - 8:00 am slot at Machu Picchu. I would like to recommend an early morning slot for Machu Picchu so you can see it in the cool morning time. We went on Augurst 24, 2024 and it became quite warm after 10:00 am. There is a bus ticket counter in Aguas that stays open till 10:00 pm with no lines. I recommend buying the ticket in Aguas otherwise you pay commission on third party websites. You need to show passport for ID everywhere so carry it with you. We got to the bus stop at 6:15 am and there was a line already with couple of hundred people. But once the buses start running, the line moves quickly and we were at Machu Pichu at 7:20 am. Wonderful trip

Room smelled overwhelmingly of mold. Could not sleep due to mold smell.

We got a room by the stairs that had surrounding windows. So anytime someone walked by the floodlight would light up our room. Also the bathroom was stinky and musty. Not great but not terrible.

The hotel is very centrally located in the small town of Aguas Calientes. Little bodegas and restaurants close by, 10 min walk to the train station, 5 min walk to bus station to Machu Picchu. Beds were comfy, shower had excellent water pressure and hot water. We were in a room towards the back of the building, and there was a strong musty smell in the room itself (Not linens or beds). Recommend asking for a room with a larger window for better ventilation.

The hotel is great

Fit for purpose. The rooms are fairly basic but location is great and staff excellent.

Wonderful host!

Nice room, view of river. Wonderful breakfast. Staff was outstanding and very helpful if needed. Was told someone was going to meet us at train station, no one showed up. Luckily hotel was easy to find after asking for help. Download directions in case you don’t have cell service! Overall, nice stay. Location was perfect. Great restaurants within a very short distance and seemed to be on the quieter end of town.

Clean and loved the river sound.

The owner was great, very accommodating. He helped us holding luggage after check out since our train was in late afternoon. The hotel is next to the river, and beautiful mountains all around. Breakfast was really good

For the price, this place is an excellent value. The room was clean and spacious. There was no AC, but it was not needed. The staff really went above and beyond to visit with us, store our bags while we visited Machu Picchu, and even loaned us their own umbrella (which it turns out you can't take into MP, but it was the thought).
