Pros:

Location. Rooms. Breakfast.

Katari Hotel is ideally situated for sightseeing, with lovely staff.
Pros:

Great central location, only a couple of steps from the main plaza. The reception staff were so helpful- nothing was too much.

Cons:

It was quite noisy at night. Being so close to Starbucks, there were people moving and being noisy at night.

Great stay
Pros:

Friendly.
Nice modern room, very comfortable bed with good linen.
Great location.

Cons:

The WiFi was not very reliable sometimes.
Breakfasts could be better. The main option choice was great, but the bread was dry and some fresh fruit would have been good.

Good location, acceptable hotel, a little bit over priced,
Pros:

The main reason to stay in this hotel is it location. The room was big and comfortable, although heating was bad.

Cons:

Staff at main desk not too friendly... They informed me that breakfast started at 6.30 hs, but when getting there there were few things ready and you have to order fruit, eggs, etc. The food is not there, so no chance to be in a rush, plan at least half an hour to be there to get the basics. The main door closes at night, and the person in charge took some time to open...

Céntrico.
Pros:

El hotel es centrico, pero mi habitación fue demasiado pequeña. Sin embargo, es una buen hotel y centrico pero en relación precio/calidad, no me pareció equitativo.

Cons:

La habitación, muy pequeña, y era una doble.

Dejligt, roligt og rent ophold.
Pros:

Der var roligt, og det lå rigtig godt placeret. Det var også nogle virkelig lækre a’la carte morgenmadsretter.

Fantástico!
Pros:

Quarto amplo, chuveiro quentinho e camas enormes e muito boas, parece que estamos em um castelo medieval. O Café da manhã é feito com muita atenção e personalizado. As pessoas do hotel de modo geral são muito cordiais e simpáticas. É possível deixar as malas na recepção sem custo para ir ao Machu Picchu. Sem falar da localização, é excelente e tem um Starbucks na mesma entrada do hotel.

Cons:

Poderia ter frigobar no quarto.

Don't go there.
Pros:

Nothing to like, only location.

Cons:

The breakfast was the worst I ever had (I am 69). Everything was done on the cheap, cheap food cheap towels, squalid facilities, etc.. Poorest quality possible. I got a lousy noisy room facing a hallway shared by Starbuck., far cry from the pictures shown in Booking.

Excelente
Pros:

As instalações são confortáveis, o quarto conta com aquecimento e o chuveiro oferece água bem quente, o que faz toda a diferença nos dias frios. O café da manhã é muito bom e, para quem sai cedo para passeios, como Machu Picchu, o hotel oferece um pequeno desjejum para viagem.

A localização é simplesmente excelente, no coração da Plaza de Armas. Outro diferencial é a possibilidade de guardar as malas durante a viagem a Machu Picchu, tornando a experiência muito mais prática.

Voltaria a me hospedar neste hotel com certeza.
