Irma was the best!!! Since my wife and I got there she made us feel so comfortable. It's not a 5 star hotel but the attention to ensure that you're comfortable beats any 5 star hotel. We visited in late October so did not experience the mosquitos from other reviews. What we did experience was the view and the sound of the water flowing in the river. Some people pay to have this sound when falling asleep. The breakfast, the coffee, the assistance on where to go eat, the convenience, even giving us a poncho in case it rain during our Machu Pichu adventure and if we didn't need it just bring it back (no charge). These all made the staying at La Payacha and incredible experience. Thanks again Irma.

Host was very helpful and pleasant.

Ok property

Great place to stay. The people at this hotel are amazing. They do everything to make you feel good. I highly recommend it

Great stop before Machu Picchu. Great location. Near train station and bus station.

Property is very conveniently located for visiting Machu Picchu. Nice view of the river from the room. Lots of insects were able to get in the room in the evening despite the windows being closed. Staff was very friendly & helpful. I received a bag of snacks to take since I left early for MP

Excelente Ubicación

It was a perfect stay just as advertised. The hostel is right on the platform, so get off the train straight into the hostel. It's a hostel, so it has all the basic needs and is very clean. The service is excellent, with the owner very accommodating. Their breakfast was great. They let us eat longer since we had two young kids with us, and they slept in late. They held luggage for us for after checkout too. Great stay overall.

I stayed in this hostel one night. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My room had the best view of The Urumba river. The only call out is that the pillows were not the most comfortable, but it’s a hostel so don’t expect a 5 star hotel. It was very clean and walking distance to Peru rial, the bus to Machu Picchu & numerous restaurants. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone who is saying short term to visit Machu Picchu

Good spot in the central part of town near bus station for Machu Picchu and train station. Very friendly staff.

Very friendly people and reasonably good rooms.

Really enjoyed our room by the river. Wonderful river noise all night long.

Nice hostel. The staff is very friendly. Nice view to the river and nearby to train station.

God price / value. Staff accommodating. Breakfast very good.

Great property for price and the location. Beds very comforttable.

This hotel is conveniently located on the main street in AC; a great location for catching the early bus up to Machu Picchu and exploring the city. The hot water was temperamental but somewhat to be expected in such a remote location. The hotel staff was the highlight of this location. The woman who helped us check in gave us the great news that a bus ticket office was still open past 9PM which meant we were able to buy our bus ticket up the mountain the night before. She packed us breakfast the following morning (4am departure) and let us keep our stuff at the hotel while we explored the city after our Machu Picchu visit. If you're looking for a simple, affordable and convenient spot to stay in AC, look no further!

Very easy access to Machu Picchu. Staff are friendly and kind. Very close to train station and bus station.

Gal at the didn’t speak English, but we were able to get but with Goggle Translator. She gave me an umbrella to use the morning I went to Machu Picchu as it was raining. She also packed me a bag breakfast for my early morning. Nice room with view of the river. Great location and easy to find from the train station. Friendly staff.

Very Convenient, closed to everything. And stuuning River view from the room. Friendly staff.

They met us right off the train station and walked us in, the lady at the front desk was extremely helpful and walked us through exactly what we needed to get our bus ticket to macchu picchu. She packed us a lunch/breakfast the next before and sent us off to the climb. The actual property is right next to the river which makes for an extremely relaxing stay. It is also close to great restaurants and a shopping market.
