Experiência boa, mas é cara!
Pros:

Muito limpo e organizado. Equipe é muito prestativa.

Cons:

O custo é elevado; provavelmente é o melhor hotel do local e por isso cobram um preço acima da entrega. A comida no restaurante deixa um pouco a desejar.

Machu Picchu stay
Pros:

It was quiet, no noise from anywhere in the room

Cons:

The room leaked water and we were not offered another room suitable for us. The staff seemed sometimes totally overworked and not in control of things. Breakfast lagged finesse, just food with no style or class, dinner was just about ok, but very small portions.

Overpriced hotel but good location
Pros:

The location of the hotel ir really good and the room was big and very comfortable.

Cons:

The quality of the food is low and the spa is not included in the price you have to pay additional, also the staff at the reception is not friendly. I would not go back is overpriced for what you have included

Boa escolha em Águas Calientes
Pros:

Um padrão executivo, mas com charme de cidadezinha. O jantar incluso na meia pensão surpreendeu pela qualidade.

Cons:

Volume de escadarias dentro do hotel de um prédio pra outro era terrível. Escolha o prédio mais perto do restaurante ou da recepção.
O atendimento no jantar no restaurante deixou a desejar.

Food and service was disappointing, rooms were satisfactory.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Extra payments for a 5 year old in a family/suite room, and additional charges for a number of things was extremely disappointing. €180 for a 5 year old for 2 nights is extremely expensive. The room itself can easily fit 2 adults and 1 child so having to pay for a huge amount for the child was extortionate. Additionally the breakfast and lunch was extremely poor.

Good for a transit overnight!
Pros:

Great location in heart of village - dinner included in the price and decent quality food.

Cons:

Insects inside the room, room card didn’t work to begin with and had to have it reactivated. The hotel does the job but isn’t memorable.

Location +
Pros:

Location location location … the hotel is located in the heart of Aguas Calientes, just a small walk of the main square, market, train station, bus station … no more than 5 mins walk anywhere. The bar is great - Jose did a great job mixing our pisco sours and letting us man the music tablet for a nice bohemian night. The dining room restaurant was also nice. Great choice of food for breakfast and dinner. Roger the maitre D seem to always be there and running a tight ship. Miguel at the breakfast omelette/egg station was fantastic every morning. We visited the other well known hotels, all nice, but for us El MaPi was a great balance of all we enjoyed and then location location location!
