Hotel Plaza de Armas Cusco

The hotel is fine, the staff and service were good for an old building it was clean and had hot water and working Internet while the food was good too. The issue is the location, which seems convenient, but it is a LOUD area and the noise all gets into the room all day and night making sleep problematic even if you use earplugs and headphones. So just be aware it’s an old building with no insulation and loud, but if you can handle that it’s not a bad hotel overall.

Nice location. The room is little old

The hotel sits in an unbeatable location —just a 20-minute drive from the airport and right on the Plaza de Armas, offering beautiful views of the square. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always eager to help. Do note: evenings can get a little noisy due to the plaza’s buzz, so packing earplugs might be a smart move. We stayed there for 4 nights during the Cusco festival and luckily our room was off the street, so the noise wasn’t affecting our sleep too much, plus we were too tired from hiking and sightseeing. Breakfast, served from 6:00 to 10:00, was generous and varied—eggs, meats, pastries, cheeses, fruit, yogurt, and cereals, plus a coffee bar and delicious fresh juices (orange, papaya, and pineapple). We also ate lunch and dinner at our hotel, food was delicious both times. There’s also a lovely rooftop terrace that stays open until 10 PM—a perfect spot to unwind after a long day. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Plaza de Armas and will choose to stay here again in a heartbeat.
