Top Cusco Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Hotel Cusco

Sonesta Hotel Cusco

8/10 Good
"The staff were friendly and helpful. The complimentary transfers from and to the airport were useful. Transfers to the airport were only on an hourly basis. The buffet breakfasts were varied with plenty of options and opened early at 0500 hr or earlier on some days. The evening buffet dinner and show was entertaining with a wide variety of food. Our room was spacious but I did find the closet to be on the small size. Bathroom was also spacious with a bathtub. Water pressure and temperature were no problems. Coffee maker, kettle, safe, and fridge worked well. TV worked well and was easy to use. Wi-Fi was easy to connect and reliable."
