Sonesta Hotel Cusco

Sonesta Hotel Cusco

10/10 Excellent
"The property is amazing. Close to the Plaza but not right in the plaza. Maybe a 15 minute walk. Love that the breakfast buffet starts at 3am. Convenient if you have to leave for an early trek or tour. All the staff is friendly and helpful. Very professional team. I would stay again if visiting Cusco."
