Pésimo servicio
Pros:

Todo igual

Cons:

En la reserva salió un precio, llegué y tuve que pagar un precio más alto. Te alquilan las toallas 10 soles por día, y te venden los jabones del hotel.

Pros:

The owners Coco and Anna Maria were super friendly and helpful during my one night stay. They allowed me to leave my big luggage in storage for a couple of days which was very much appreciated. The location is good and room was clean and spacious. Overall, i was really happy about my stay.

Great!
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay at El Tuco Hotel. The hosts, Coco and his wife, are incredibly kind and welcoming people. They help you in every way they can and give lots of useful advice. If you happen to get sick, you can be sure that you’ll be well taken care of by these wonderful people.

Every morning, Coco serves a delicious breakfast. The hotel is very safe and secure. The rooms are simple, but for us they were more than enough: clean, with a warm bed and a hot shower.

Our flight was suddenly cancelled and delayed by seven hours, which was a huge problem for us since we needed to catch a bus to Huaraz. Coco advised us to go to the airport anyway and try to get another flight. We followed his advice, and after a lot of complaining at the airport, we actually managed to get a different flight. Without Coco’s advice, we would have only arrived at our next destination the following evening—but thanks to him, we made it there in the morning instead.

Thank you, Coco and Anne-Marie, for the warm welcome and the great advice.
We definitely recommend staying here! :-)

Comodidad y ducha caliente
Pros:

La ducha tiene buena potencia y agua caliente perfecto para cuando llegas de los tours, la cama es cómoda, no sientes frío en la habitación, está ubicado cerca del centro histórico (puedes ir a pie) es zona segura, queda sobre una calle principal pero aún así puedes dormir sin problema en la noche. Los anfitriones Ana y Coco son excelentes personas, te dan consejos y están pendientes de vos. También tienes la cocina disponible por si deseas utilizarla. Lo recomiendo para una estancia tranquila y cómoda en Cusco.

Pros:

In Cusco is er een algemeen warm water probleem en dit hotel had elke avond warm water! Dat was voor ons zeer belangrijk, omdat Cusco best koud is (vooral in de avonden).
Daarnaast waren Coco en zijn vrouw erg behulpzaam en hele gezellige mensen, die ervoor hebben gezorgd dat wij Cusco toch net iets beter konden beleven

Horrível!
Pros:

Nada.

Cons:

Localização: Não é no centro e fica de esquina numa rua extremamente movimentada e ao lado de uma ferrovia, barulho do trem buzinando, dormir impossível.
Valor: reservei no site a 98 reais, porém quando cheguei, fui cobrado 72 soles, o que dava 110 reais, valor superior ao da reserva.
Instalações: Péssimas. Banheiro: Papel racionalizado, ralo do chuveiro entupido, sem sabonetes nem toalhas, me ofereceram a mais 20 soles;
Tomadas: todas extremamente folgadas, o que não carregou meus telefones, o que me fez perder o passeio a Machu Picchu que havia reservado, pois não despertou pois não carregaram, como falei do barulhos externos me fizeram dormir muito tarde por volta das 4:30, além da frustração do sonho ainda tive prejuízo no valor pago para o passeio. O que espero que o booking possa me ajudar de alguma forma.
Checkout: Procurei sair logo de lá e vim para outro hotel, se já não bastasse, o proprietário não quis abrir o portão (foi o que ele abriu quando cheguei) para eu sair, falou que perdeu a chave me fazendo dar uma volta enorme por outra rua super engarrafada, ainda teve a coragem de pedir para avalia-lo como ótimo no booking!
Terminou esse relato, muito aborrecido com o que passei e ainda estou tentando digerir o que perdi, a realização de um sonho de meses de planejamento e dias de estradas.
Possuo o recibo da estadia, estou pensando em processar pelo que ocorreu!

Perfect stay in Cusco
Pros:

Perfect hotel to stay, extremely safe as the doors are locked at all times. Coco is always readily available to open the gate. His wife is also a very sweet woman always with a smile on her face & willing to help. Bed is comfy and clean as are the showers. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Come see Coco!

Reserve this place if you don't mind feeling like a prisoner.
Pros:

The room was okay, and sheets were clean, but there were no headboards, where the pillow sank in between the bed and the wall.

Cons:

They don't provide you with the main door key. To get in and out, host (husband and wife) has to literally come out to the door and lock/unlock to get in/out of the building. Basically, you can't get in/out without them.
You must drop off your room key before leaving the motel.
They rent a bath towel for 9.5 sol PER DAY, which is $2.71/€2.4 per day!!!!!
Feels like you are being watched.
I don't know why this place has such high rating.
