I can’t recommend this hotel enough! The rooms were absolutely spotless, even better than in the photos, and the breakfast was fantastic every morning. The location is perfect—walking distance to all the major attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring Cusco. We loved it so much that we extended our stay! When they didn't have a room available, we easily booked with their sister branch, and the staff kindly transferred our bags for us while we visited Machu Picchu. The level of service and care was outstanding. We felt so well looked after. Thank you for an amazing experience—can’t wait to return! Shoutout to Pillar and the other kind receptionist (I forgot her name, sorry!).

Set in a pretty little courtyard away from the road, so very quiet. The best hot shower we’ve had in Peru, and a night time heater ) 1st time we’ve had heating in a hotel) Lovely friendly staff, especially the evening receptionist. Very nice , made to order breakfast, with pretty decent coffee ( quite rare in Peru hotels). The manager was very helpful and let us leave our bags 5 days in advance of our stay whilst we went on the Salkantay Trek. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel

The hotel's location is very close to the historic centre with many restaurants, shops and even the market nearby, but it's situated on a quiet street so it's perfect for a peaceful rest after long treks and tours around Cusco and the sacred valley. The 24h reception is very handy for those coming or leaving at late/early hours. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and every well informed to answer any questions about tours, landmarks, transport. They had great recommendations for good restaurants or street food and traditional dishes. Royer and Sebastian helped me with very detailed info about where to go and what to see in Cusco and were always availabe to help with anything. I had to leave very early for a two-day trek and I was able to ask in advance for a packed breakfast and to store my large backpack there for a night. The hostel has a lathe dinning area, a well equipped comunal kitchen, they offer free coca tea and other types. It had a large comunal area with great light and also a darker games room to play movies or PlayStation. The breakfast included is very yummy, with many options of fruit, cereals, jam, ham and cheese, eggs or panakes, as well as juice and coffee or tea. The hostel was very tidy and cleaned every day and the bathrooms and showers were also spotless with great hot water pressure. The dorm beds were comfy and arranged in a capsule style with curtains, which gave you a lot of privacy. Each bed had it's own large locker. I enjoyed it so much that I stayed in the Way Kap Hostel in arequipa and got a discount showing my bracelet. I definitely recommend and would stay here again!

Cute little rustic guesthouse. Well located only a short walk to the main square and museums. Anything you need you can easily ask for: blow dryer, towel, change sheets, more toilet paper, clean trash bins, etc and they will help provide. They are so helpful. Magda speaks Spanish and her son Jimmy also speaks English, can help set you up on tours and give advice. Great breakfast of eggs, fruit smoothie, bread, avocado. There were a few beds in my room so I could pick the most comfortable one for me, and Magda made the bed. I was warm enough with extra blankets and asked for extra pillowcase. Lukewarm shower. Nice outdoor seating in a small courtyard. I wish I could stay longer. I felt very safe, in the evening they buzz you in and out through a secure gate. One morning I had an early tour at 3:30 for Rainbow Mountain, I let Magda know in advance, and she got up to unlock the main door and she made sure I safely got into my van. Excellent price for private room with shared bathroom.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Spirit of the River Lodge! Nestled by the river, the lodge boasts incredible room designs and breathtaking window views that make you feel one with nature. A huge thank you to Rodi and Claudia for making our experience so unforgettable. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel right at home. Rodi’s tour of the Inca sites was nothing short of extraordinary—his passion and knowledge brought the history and spirit of the area to life. If you can, ask him to be your guide; you’ll gain so much insight and connection to the Sacred Valley! Claudia’s cooking was equally remarkable—each meal was a masterpiece filled with love and flavor. And, of course, we can’t forget Tupac, their adorable and friendly llama. Hugging him was such a unique and heartwarming experience! The lodge is a perfect blend of comfort, charm, and cultural immersion. To top it off, Rodi is beginning to organize Inca Trail tours with a big focus on ensuring porters are treated with the utmost care and respect. If you’re looking to explore one of the most unique places on Earth while supporting ethical practices, this is the place to start. We couldn’t recommend Spirit of the River Lodge more highly. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
