Urubamba Hostels

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Retama. The staff were very helpful and friendly, the breakfast was amazing and they did everything to make our stay wonderful including arranging for a tour guide who was fantastic. The location and accomodations were great--it is at the top of a hill away from the crowds. We loved it and will be back!

This hotel is known for its garden and views, but other aspects leave a lot to be desired. In fact, the hotel was quite disappointing. The hotel definitely does not meet the standards of a boutique hotel, as it describes itself. - rooms are ok, conformable, but basic. - PREJUDICED treatment by the staff. I felt a huge difference in treatment between European and North American guests and Latin guests. I had never experienced this before in a hotel and I found it very serious. - It definitely does not work for long stays or as a base for exploring the Sacred Valley, precisely because it is at the train station. The place has a strong smell of BURNING FUEL, and there is TRAIN NOISE all the time. You wake up and go to sleep to the sound of whistles, which is very chaotic and unpleasant. - There are other much better options in the city. - It is about 10 minutes from the center, with a reasonable climb. And you have to wait in lines of train passengers to get into your hotel every day. - Breakfast is REPETITIVE AND WITHOUT VARIETY. Simpler hotels in the area had infinitely better coffee. However, it seems to be standard for the hotel, a jacket that other guests have complained about in past reviews and nothing has been done. They say they will improve in the responses to reviews and nothing has changed. - Professional staff, but IMPATIENT AND IRRITATED. They are resistant to simple requests. - I asked for computer at the reception to view a personal document that can only be accessed via computers. They did not allow me to use it, and there was no other available for guests to use. - A hotel of this value has no amenities whatsoever, only soap. There is no shower cap, skin moisturizer, cotton wool. I have never seen this in hotels that classify themselves as ”boutique”.

Belmond Hotel is my personal favorite hotel brand, no one! Although it is relatively niche compared to other five-star hotels, it is definitely an aristocratic stay experience! From check-in to check-out at the front desk, the hotel has really paid attention to every detail. The Belmond Hotel Machu Picchu is located at the door of Machu Picchu, which saves a lot of effort for tourists who visit early in the morning. I booked an all-inclusive room type with three meals. The choice of three meals is very rich, which is quite good for a mountaintop hotel with scarce supplies. The hotel still provides washing service after check-out, which is very intimate. After staying for two nights, Machu Picchu is a great experience! Ctrip's price is much cheaper than booking, very powerful!

Set on the banks of the sacred Urubamba River - in the shadow of the Andes lies Rio Sagrado - A Belmond Hotel - Sacred Valley. This oasis of calm has the feel of an ancient Incan farmstead. Staff lend the warmth of a family home while the treasures of the natural world are tangible..From the soothing rumble of the river to the colourful flowers shrouding the property - relax on a guided tour of the gardens or practice yoga on the riverbanks. Float in our heated pool or sink into a hammock. Indulge at the Andean-style Spa Mayu Willka with luxurious body wraps of Incas Gold and organic cocoa before detoxing in the outdoor Jacuzzi..Whether its waking to a shamans call or bedding down with a hot water bottle - we know its the little things that make your stay special. Feeding milk to our baby alpacas is a highlight for many - but snuggling up under a wool rug with a cup of muna tea can be just as enjoyable..All rooms at Rio Sagrado offer river views. Look out on the gardens from your shower and all exude our authentic Andean charm. Exterior walls are rendered using ancient techniques - while interiors come alive with bright fabrics and alpaca wools. Come evening - head to El Huerto Bar for a zingy Pisco sour. Our barman has a wealth of knowledge on the local liquor - his tasting sessions are not to be missed. A fire roars on the terrace of El Huerto Restaurant. Here - dishes are made with ingredients fresh from the kitchen garden. The riverside El Jardin meanwhile - offers culinary theatre with its waterside barbecue and traditional pachamanca.
