4/10 Poor

This hotel is located right in the middle of the historic district, so it's really easy to get around the area and find what you need on foot. The flip side of that, though, is that it is SO LOUD. This area has a ton of foot traffic, street vendors, and musical acts that go on well into the night, which is hard when you have an early wakeup for any of the many available excursions offered from Cusco.
The breakfast offerings are limited - you're better off skipping it. It's deli ham and cheese slices, some fruit (watermelon and papaya on offer this morning), and bread, along with juice, coffee, and tea.
I asked for a different room as I had an early wakeup and my room was right along the main drag and directly in front of a man playing music through a speaker very loudly all night, and was unfortunately denied. Although based on my walking around the hotel, there aren't too many better options anyway.
I guess, overall, you get what you pay for? I made the mistake of thinking this was an average priced room in Cusco and therefore not on the lower end, but it definitely is on the lower end as far as comfort. In addition to the noise and wanting breakfast, the bathroom is incredibly small with no counter space, the shower door is broken, the towels are very old, stiff, and starchy, and the mini fridge in the room doesn't work.
Could be worse, I suppose, but it could be way better. I would recommend staying elsewhere if you're looking for a comfortable and easy stay.
