Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perched at the top of a hill in Aguas Calientes, offering stunning views of the mountains and a peaceful escape from the bustling town below. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and come with a luxurious jacuzzi bath. Although the location can be a bit tricky to find, especially if you're not using an online map, the proximity to the hot springs and Machu Picchu bus station makes it worthwhile. The breakfast options are good and served early, but the dining experience overall could use some improvement.
I had a great experience at this hotel! It's a bit of a hike from the train station, but the beautiful view makes it worth it. The rooms were clean with an amazing view and breakfast was delicious. The only downside is the uphill walk after a long day, but overall, it is definitely a place I'd recommend due to its clean accommodations and helpful staff.
My stay at Taypikala Hotel Machu Picchu was a delightful experience with a perfect blend of comfort and convenience. The spacious and sparkling clean rooms provided a great retreat after a long day of trekking, and the location made it easy to access the bus shuttle station and local restaurants. However, I did find the breakfast offerings to be somewhat lacking, which is common in the area. Overall, it was a fantastic base for my adventures.
I spent one night at this hotel during a tour and found it to be quite charming despite a few challenges. The location is lovely, with a great view and it's conveniently close to many shops and restaurants. The staff was accommodating, and the breakfast selection was impressive. However, the uphill trek from the train station was a workout, and not having air conditioning in the room was a bit uncomfortable.
