Hotel Wiracocha Inn

Honestly of all the hotels we used for our travels across Peru this was by far the worst. We were given a twin room on the ground floor. Facilities are very basic which would be ok, but firstly the smell of damp knocks you out on entering the room. Everything is cold (the window doesn’t shut properly) so not only cold and damp, but super noisy due to the ferocious river just outside. Even the toilet roll was damp to touch. The bed was clean, but the sheet didn’t fit properly and actually came off the mattress (which is just gross) while sleeping. I had to sleep fully clothed. Breakfast was very basic. Absolutely would not recommend.

The location is perfect for everything you need. Walking distance from everything essential, food, pharmacy and transport. The room itself (clean and great space) was looking over the river and greenery and made it so restful. Staff were very kind and helpful. They made the stay the best.

Loved this hotel! This is a family run business and the two owners are the cutest and sweetest couple that you could ever meet. Staying there felt like you were being taken care of by your grandparents. I feel this hotel is underrated and is truly a missed gem in Machu Picchu. I stayed on the fifth floor in a double room and the views that I had were amazing and breathtaking. My room was a corner unit, which meant we had two views. One of the waterfall and upper mountains, while the second view was of the river and the main city strip. Other than hearing the sounds of the river at night, it was a nice peaceful room. Room was larger, clean and the bathroom was clean and had great water pressure. Breakfast was included in our stay and is located on the 6th floor with panoramic views of the town. This location is also great because you are close to many restaurants, about a 5 minute walk to the Thermal Springs and about a ten minute walk to the bus pickup location to Machu Picchu. They also allowed us to store our suitcases at the hotel, while we went to Machu Picchu, so that we didn’t have to find alternative storage, while away.
