I worried that it is right across from the railroad which turns out to be a plus as we left from there to go to MP early in the morning. We were on the side away from the tracks which no doubt makes a difference. We were advised to ask to be in the new wing. Rooms are large and... More

The fact that el Albergue sits right on the little railway platform for the train that goes Machu Pichu is just one of it's charming features. The garden is small but gorgeously lush with fuschias, heliconias, tree tomatoes.... The views are lovely of the snow peaked Mt. Veronica (I think that's the mountain) and the room we stayed in was... More

The room was very understandard for the price( which they add a 10% gratuity to aswell) the heater did not plug into the sockets as all were a bit tempremantal and... More

I really liked this place. Very friendly, the room was large, and the location to the train station couldn't be beat. It was a bit of a walk to town, but you definitely can't get closer to the train station! We ate dinner here 2 of our 3 nights in town.

The place is a nice looking and the location is perfect if you're going to continue your journey by train to Machu Picchu early in the morning (or any other time of day), since it's located AT the station, literally. Unfortunately our visit here was a horrible one and left a bad taste overall. When we arrived here, the first... More

We are sorry, this was not a minor weather issue, what we were dealing with the worst flooding ever registered in the Patacancha Valley. The severe conditions led to the breakage of the towns water main, general power outage throughout the area, the total collapse of numerous bridges, closing of the access road to the hotel and the loss of...

I can't say enough about this hotel. Amazing. First of all, we were greeted by Sergio who was extremely nice and funny. First impressions are worth a lot. This hotel is located on the train track. Don't worry. It was extremely quiet although our room did not face the train tracks but rather a lush garden. The room was large,... More

We choose to drive from Cusco to Ollanta to take the train to Muchu Picchu. This hotel is literally right in the railway station so it was a surprise to find that it had a great restaurant and excellent rooms in a charming garden. Some train noise of course but only a minor interference. Excellent friendly staff. Breakfast to order... More

We loved the hotel. The rooms were very large and clean and amenities were excellent. The location at the train stop could not be beat and the setting was beautiful with courtyards and balconies.

you can walk right off the train directly into the check in counter here! As a solo traveler I was a bit miffed that I had to book a room with three beds on the second level. It was fun for a bit as I looked out from the balcony at the trains and passengers on PeruRail going to/from Machu... More

We paid the little extra and booked a Superior Room US$133.00 which was in the back wing of the hotel with fantastic views to the mountains. The main hotel building use to be the train station and is right on the train platform which makes it great when you board the train to Machu Picchu, no standing behind the gate... More
