"Walking distance from train station to Aguas Calliente and Machu Picchu. Beautiful location and grounds. Staff very kind and helpful. Would return if ever planning to visit Machu Picchu again."
"Lovely guesthouse with an owner who clearly takes a pride in it. Everything has been recently decorated so it’s like new. My room was great with a lovely view and an amazingly comfortable bed. The owner showed me some of the other rooms also, each with its own unique style. A cracking questhouse if you are going to be in Ollantaytambo."
"Great hotel offset from the center making everything within walking distance. Liked that it included breakfast but would have wanted ham with my American breakfast eggs. But everything else is great"
"We recently stayed at Stardome Hotel to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and it was truly an unforgettable experience.
From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, warm, and genuinely helpful. They made us feel welcome and cared for throughout our entire stay. The views are absolutely breathtaking — truly the kind that stay with you long after you leave.
Our room was beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and very comfortable.
What touched us most was the wonderful birthday surprise: a cake and a bottle of champagne. Such a thoughtful gesture made the celebration even more meaningful.
Thank you for making this day so special. We can’t wait to return!
Keep in mind that the closest town is about 15 minutes away by car on a winding mountainous road. It’s better to buy everything you might need (sunscreen, medications, snacks etc.) in advance. You can buy drinks, including wine and hard liquor in the restaurant, but no shops or pharmacy are available at the vicinity.
The territory of the hotel may not be vast, but what it offered goes far beyond size. There is a rare serenity here, the kind that quiets your thoughts and allows you to truly rest."
"The rooms were nice and the staff was excellent. They called a taxi for our return to Cusco at a cheap price, it was a very nice taxi as well. The only complaint I have is that a lot of the linens and towels have stains on them. The staff said it was from a hair dye. Overall excellent!"
