There was no stay. You had booked us into a hotel that not only did not receive a confirmation from you but had no rooms. Surprising that you confirmed it to me. So we had to go out on foot in the dark to find a hotel ourselves. You have totally let me down again, yes, not the first time. Guess what, you’re not what you think you are. I’m not only disappointed but discouraged and wonder would I trust you again?

Friendly

The hotel manager/owner was fantastic. He knew when we were going to Machu Picchu and made sure we had our passports, bus tickets, and Machu Picchu tickets. When there was trouble getting out of Aguas Calientes, he was working with his contacts to give is updates. Im not sure we would have been able to leave without his assistance. He was helpful in every way during our stay.

If you like poor wifi and cold showers, .

The hotel is in a great location (but I think all hotels in Aguacalientes are). We were in Room 305, the wifi was very poor, so bad you could not upload any pictures if you wanted to. The hot water is shut off during the day, if you wanted hot water had to ask them o turn it on than wait 5-10 mins, our room ran out of toilet paper, the free breakfast was sparse and unlike all the other hotels we stayed at ther was no tea and coca leaves available 24 hrs per day. There were not many people staying at the hotel, so you would think that the service would’ve been better.

The hotel staff was the best I have ever seen. They go out of their way to assist and to help. They provide all necessary information. Even though I was downstairs past the breakfast hours, they still accommodated me and made sure I had something to eat. They are very friendly and hospitable. While the hotel is only 3 stars, the staff is far better than any 5 star hotel in which I have ever stayed. Thank you Intiwatana El Tambo!!

Loud, no air conditioning, no wifi, bathroom disgusting(smelled of mold, shower no hot water, toilet running and chain kept coming off) dirty sheets, dirty pillows, blankets dirty floors, false advertisement overall nothing like the pictures while booking 4 or 5 star how!! You hear everything and all night people talking outside, soccer games noise, night club or bar noise. Just terrible its literally in the slums. Waste of money its better to stay in cusco to have good food, hotels etc. Place needs serious upgrade all the money we pay doesnt make sense might as well stay with the locals on the streets meaning the dogs!

One of the worst experiences

The hotel is nothing like what they saw it in the picture. They didn't have towels in the room and we had to ask them to bring them. Also there was no hot water. I would surely not recommend it.

The room was ok - we booked for 3 but gave us a two person room but we agreed though sleeping was a little tight - just be sure to confirm in advance. Also there was no hot water in the morning or evening.

Aguas Frias

We stayed here (as planned) for just one night. The hotel staff was very helpful with restaurant suggestions and directions, and they assisted us to arrange a guide for Machu Picchu. But there was not hot water for the showers (or at least not enough), which seems strange for a hotel. On the other hand, I don't see anywhere in the description that there would be hot water. Otherwise, the accommodations were good and fit our budget.

The address that come up is incorrect so we had a difficult time finding the place. When we called the number listed a child answered the phone so it must not be correct. Luckily the local police are very helpful and showed us the way. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The facility is average and the Wifi above the 2nd floor is spotty at best. The location is a short walk to the train station and the hot springs, and restaurants are very everywhere. It’s also a short walk to the busses to Machu Picchu. Get good directions before you go, stay on the first two floors, and you’ll have a great visit to Aguas Calientes.
