Good value for the money
Pros:

I felt it was a good value for the money. Location is good, but the village is also very small. Having breakfast and dinner included was a nice plus.

Cons:

The food was either okay or bad, depending on the dish, including breakfast. Noise isolation is also essentially nonexistent.

Macchu and Mapi for New Years
Pros:

Pueblo de Machu Picchu is a wonderful and lovely place to spend new years, and El Mapi was a beautiful place to say during our time here. The accommodations and staff are wonderful, especially the bartender Jennifer who made us the best pisco sours of the whole trip and Jhonnie who was very attentive during a delicious dinner.

Poor management.
Pros:

Location and bed size

Cons:

Poor experience with the acting manager of the hotel. The booking included breakfast and dinner so before booking I contacted them to ask if they could accommodate two vegans. They assured me they could so we went ahead and booked. It turns out that they don’t think we need any type of protein - just carbs and vegetables. So we asked them to fix this for our second night. Offered 3 solutions - source some protein from somewhere, give a refund for the meals part of the booking so we could go elsewhere or refund the second night and we would go elsewhere. The ‘manager’ claimed not to be able to do any of these things. So we went to the restaurant next door and they agreed to supply el MaPi with some seitan. Problem solved. I do think the manager could have attempted to solve this herself rather than tell us there was nothing she could do. I’m not sure what the point of a manager is if she isn’t able to ‘manage’ a relatively simple situation. The hotel claims to be 4 stars. I’d say more like a 3 - the rooms are very basic.

Wonderful hotel with exceptional service!
Pros:

Our stay at El MaPi Hotel in Machu Picchu was absolutely wonderful. The hotel itself is beautiful, modern, and welcoming, with a relaxing atmosphere that feels like the perfect retreat after a long day of exploring. The attention to detail, comfort, and overall ambiance made our experience truly memorable.

A special highlight of our stay was the exceptional service in the restaurant, especially from Roger, our waiter. Roger went above and beyond to make every meal enjoyable. He was incredibly attentive, warm, and genuinely accommodating, always making sure we had everything we needed and more. His professionalism and kindness truly stood out and added a personal touch that made us feel well cared for.

El MaPi is a fantastic hotel with outstanding service, and Roger’s hospitality perfectly reflects the high standards of the staff. We would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Machu Picchu and would gladly stay here again.

Not a 4 star
Pros:

Room was small and no air con or wash cloths. Brown water and sink and shower took a long time to drain.
Had to open windows to keep cool but then you can hear all the revelry outside.
Worst part of the stay was the included dinner which was inedible
Drinks are very overpriced
Can’t complain about breakfast but would not stay again.
