Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Santuario Machu Picchu

Good

Good

I liked that the breakfast buffet had alot of different food options such as eggs, sausage, sliced ham, pineapple, papaya, watermelon, avocado, brocolli, croissant, seasame bread, ect. I also liked that the view from my room was amazing. I could see the river and the mountain from my room. The hotel staff was very friendly and polite. They got us in contact with our tour guide for Machu Picchu (Eddy) who did a great job. There is an elevator at this hotel. The hot water in the shower worked fine. The sheets on the bed kept me warm during the chilly night. The wifi worked excellent. Something I didn't like about the hotel is that there isn't a fridge or microwave in the room.

Don't go here!!! The owner is a thief. I booked a room here and when I showed up, the owner answered the door and told me he was closed. I showed up well within their posted check-in time. Then he has the audacity to say that I don't "qualify" for a refund!!! It's a good thing I was able to find a hostel nearby or I would have spent this night out on the street!

Very accommodating staff. Good breakfast. ELEVATOR! Hot shower. One of the staff took my luggage three blocks to the train station for me. I would stay there again.

I had to book another day due to rail strike and booked wrong week by accident. I stayed the week before but they wouldn't refund the incorrect booking.

I loved the sound of the stream off our balcony with its view.

I was fortunate to have a room with a balcony overlooking the Urubamba River. The sound of the rushing river flowing past the hotel brought a sense of tranquility that I wasn't expecting when I booked the hotel. It is within a 2 minute walk to the town center. My room was clean and the shower had hot water.

Very friendly staff. Could not be any closer to the bus to Machu Pichu. Clean comfortable room and very good breakfast.

Smelly bathroom and subpar breakfast, but very friendly and accommodating staff. All other aspect were good, and view & location were amazing.

Location to trail was perfect with beatiful mystical river views.

Nice spot overlooking river and quiet but still handy for the town

This property advertises a restaurant on Expedia, but they either do not have one or it was not in operation during our stay. This was aggravating because the restaurant was one of the key reasons we booked this place. Otherwise, staff is friendly, hotel is close to bus stop for Machu Picchu, and they have a nice breakfast buffet.

We enjoyed our time here. The first room we were given had no view - except of a building. We asked for, and were given, a front room with a river view. No balcony, but we pulled up the two chairs in the room, opened and window and enjoyed the sounds of the river and mountain breezes. Breakfast was early enough that we could enjoy the buffet, with hot eggs cooked to order, before catching the bus up to Machu Picchu. We only stayed the one night but the room was comfortable, not spacious but comfortable, clean and had a portable heater provided for those cool nights. The staff was very helpful as we asked for directions and help with a variety of topics.

This is a very nice hotel in the very touristy town of Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo). The service was top notch for all parts of our one night stay. We arrived in the afternoon and asked if we might have a river view room. The desk clerk graciously gave us a beautiful 3rd floor room with a balcony overlooking the river (first and last photos below were taken from the balcony). The street below gets a little busy with transit buses starting around 5 am but if you are going to Machu Picchu, you probably want to be awake by then anyway. The complimentary breakfast service begins at 5:30 am and was really nice. The bus to MP and train station are easy walking distance. Finally, the hotel will store your luggage for the day while you journey to MP then, if you wish, deliver it to the train station for your departure when you return, a really nice perk. We would stay again for our next once in a lifetime trip!

Luxurious. Best hotel stay in Peru! Wish we stayed another night or two!

Great money / value hotel! Recommended

Hotel staff is very friendly & helpful. The rooms are okay, but they lose their satellite feed too much (maybe it's only during the rainy season) & suddenly you have no internet or TV in the evening to watch after a day of hiking around Machu Picchu. A good solution would be to put DVD player's in all the rooms & keep a good selection on movies on hand so people can watch a movie (English and/or Spanish) no matter how the weather is outside (weather is cause of the TV signal loss) or if the hotel guest doesn't speak/know Spanish & they want to watch something in English as there are few channels which use English as their language. We lost our TV signal for hours every day & the internet signal worked in the main lobby, but not in the room. The breakfast was good every day & they'll make an omelet for you if requested & the hotel staff/worker's were very helpful & want to please guests.

most of the points of interest are close but the hotel is located in a dark street and away from the rest of the downtown. the hotel conditions are good and the freakfast is very good also. We liked to listen the river all night because that sound relax.

hotel is very near station, reception english is poor but friendly, good breakfast but location is humid and noisy because near river.
