Charming comfortable stay at Tierra Viva Cusco San Blas
Pros:

10 on 10 experiene at Tierra Viva Cusco San Blas. Close enough to the square but enough of a distance to have a quiet night in too. Great staff and location, well appointed rooms and just perfect breakfast too. Atmosphere was quiet and beautifully designed. Great value for the room, breakfast, turn down service and extras from the team. I often requested a hot kettle of water for the evening and was promptly seen too by the team.

Pros:

Great location, good hot showers with strong water pressure. Good breakfast. Lovely staff. Nice good sized comfortable rooms, with heater provided. Would definitely stay there again. Tea’s available at reception 24 hrs. Some nights got turn down chocolates.

Cons:

We could not re- book for the next week even though staff had said we would be able to on check out. In hindsight should have re- booked through booking website booking.com when we looked, instead of relying on staff who did not realise the hotel standard rooms were booked out. They said we could have a suite at double what we originally paid, which was disappointing.

Pros:

This hotel is a gem.
It's one of the best hotels we've stayed at in Latin America, and in my opinion, it deserves more than three stars.

The rooms are very clean, and the beds are comfortable.

But what makes this hotel truly special, however, is the staff.
Vanessa, Liz, and Phaty are always there to help, no matter the time of day or night. They are kind, professional, and always looking for solutions in any situation.

Miguel Angel also went above and beyond to make our stay even better by taking care of every detail.

And finally, Kelly made breakfast one of the highlights of our day by always checking that we had everything we needed.
There are certainly other team members I haven't mentioned, but everyone at this hotel was incredibly welcoming and helpful.

I don't usually mention staff members by name in my reviews, but this team truly deserves the recognition.

Thank you, Tierra Viva, for such a wonderful experience.

Cons:

Nothing, it was great

Beautiful traditional building in San Blas artesanal district
Pros:

Location was perfect and San Blas was a joy to explore. Rooms were clean and large, plenty of room for our bags. Atmosphere relaxed, loved the breakfast room and staff were delightful. It was very quiet and I could see the Cristo Blanco lit up at night from our window. We were pleased to have the use of a radiator as mornings could be cold. Also the hotel provided 10 mins of oxygen for me for my altitude sickness which really helped and I had no issue afterwards. There was coca tea on tap. I really liked this hotel.

Pros:

Excellent rooms and location in a lovely part of Cusco. Somw great restaurants within walking distance. Really felt like a place to chill and relax and our room size was great. The shower was strong and the best we had in Peru. Lovely gardens and courtyard. Breakfast from 6am was convenient and the coffee was good.

Cons:

Breakfast had a good selection but hotel very slow to refill the items especially later in the morning. Would have.preferred some variety with hot breakfast items

Pros:

Beautiful hotel, quiet in the San Blas neighborhood, close to very good restaurants, about 10 minutes walk to the main Plaza.
Great breakfast
Very nice and helpful staff

Cons:

The only problem is that guests are aloud to smoke in the 2 courtyards. For people who don’t smoke, one person who smokes can change the experience for many others!
I wish for the hotel to prohibit smoking in its premises!

Pros:

Location is great, it’s very clean and breakfasts are good. The team is lovely and very helpful.

Cons:

Rooms are very dark and there is no soundproofing at all. You would literally hear your neighbors all the time, including all physiological processes…and vice versa. It’s a rather major issue, never experienced anything like that on hotels.

Perfect Cusco Stay
Pros:

This was the best stay in a very long trip. The staff is so kind and helpful; they were friendly when we checked in pretty late after a flight delay, checked in and made recommendations when my husband felt sick, and helped us move into a different room when we needed to extend our room at the last minute. Spotless, quiet, delicious breakfast, and incredible location in San Blas. If you're staying in Cusco I can recommend this hotel enough!
