Excellent hotel

Los Tambos - Boutique
We loved this hotel! Excellent location, just a minute walk from plaza de Armas. Walking distance to everything. Breakfast was excellent and the rooftop patio was a nice place to spend our down time. The only thing for us, was our room opened right onto the street which was very noisy.

The property itself it's nice. Pool and garden, restaurant and yoga deck too. However, there are two massive downsides the rooms have mold that affected my immune system and also the rooms are not soundproof so you can hear anything at anytime. Wouldn't stay there again.
