Pros:

A lovely little green oasis with rustic charm. We had a charming and spacious room overlooking the garden. Short walk to the main square. Just stunning views all around and a less touristy (and free admission) Inca ruin site just steps from the property. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Peaceful oasis
Pros:

This place was nothing less than an oasis of peacefulness in a chaotic place. After a long day of Machu Picchu adventure (4:30AM to 7pm) we were greeted by the owner to see if we needed anything. The staff and the owner continually went out of the way to make our stay great. Filtered water in the room and bottled water available for purchase at the front desk. Breakfast was very good too!

Pros:

Friendly staff and great location. Well situated just a few blocks from the central square of Plaza de las Armas, this hotel was previously a family home. The owners then built additional guest houses, a cafe, the breakfast room on the property. There is a tranquil well manicured garden to hang out on nice days, a few cats, and a dog. If the owner is there, she is very personable and will help with any questions or contacting local drivers / tour operators for last minute needs. It was clean and reasonably priced. Just take note if you travel in winter and are used to central heating it will be chilly as there is only space heaters provided and you need to traverse across the courtyard to the different communal buildings. I absolutely loved this charming hotel and highly recommend it to anyone visiting.

Must be best hotel in Ollantaytambo
Pros:

Wonderful hotel. Large property right in this busy little town. But it has wall around it enclosing a beautiful property so you don't even feel like you are in town. Yet you walk the door and walk around town and even down to the train station if you like. Excellent breakfast. Fantastic service. Tula Gibaja, one of the Owners, was very helpful in directing us to hikes, sites to visit in the city and surrounding area, and places to go to. We highly recommend this hotel.

Absolutely scenic little hotel in ollantaytambo. The manager Ms Tula was very helpful in organizing a tour of sacred valley on our way back to cusco. The staff also ensured breakfast bags were kept ready for us for our early train to machu pichu. Would absolutely recommend

Very safe, interior access via a courtyard. Very friendly staff, clean rooms. Walk to the city square in minutes. They also have a upper terrace where motorcycles can be stored if you are trekking on a bike that's locked up. I would definitely stay here again.
