Pretty fascinating that this pretty nice hotel is right next to dilapidated buildings. It's in a nice part of town though, relatively. The rooms were great. The beds and pillows were amazing. The noise from the city was loud - dogs and music and fireworks... But if you bring earplugs you'll sleep like a baby. The hotel restaurant was very good as well. We had an issue where our bags got delivered to the airport with the wrong group, but it was resolved quickly with the help of the hotel and a friendly traveler at the airport. Overall a great experience in Cusco!
We chose this hotel mainly because it was the starting pickup and briefing location for Mountain Lodges of Peru's Sacred Valley and Lares adventure - which is a 5 day hiking/cultural trek around the area. As it turns out, the hotel is fantastic. Wonderfully equipped with a complete set of amenities, drinking water, free flow tea and even an oxygen tank for altitude sickness prone guests like me. The breakfast spread is pretty good too - with hot and continental foods, freshly made juices/smoothies, crepes and omelettes.
Had a very enjoyable 5 nights here either side of our Inca Trail hike. We loved it here. Close to the city centre, but quiet enough. We loved the Happy Hour live music, food and cocktails. The rooms were nicely presented, clean and with great amenities. We would definitely return here.
El Mercado Cusco was a delightful hotel. They put the most wonderful touches on everything - chocolates on the pillows during turndown service, free infused water in the lobby, a customized fresh squeezed juice bar at the included breakfast with made to order omletes and crepes, and live jazz music in their homey courtyard during happy hour. The courtyard was arguably one of the best parts - it had a fire place, comfy chairs, blankets, and you could hang out there and have a cocktail and listen to the jazz. If it is too cold, the bar inside has lots of fun board games!! They also thought of everything: we had an early flight to the airport on our last day and we arranged for a taxi service through the hotel, and they kindly gave us a boxed breakfast for the car ride at 4:30 AM. Ambiance aside, the rooms were lovely. They were so well decorated, the shower was very hot and great water pressure, and we had plenty of space. We are so glad we chose to stay here in Cusco! It also had a great location - 7 minute walk from the main square, but very quiet at night. I highly recommend El Mercado Cusco.
Can I give 6 stars,please? Everything is excellent, on the highest level. That's it. Everything.
Loved this place, would stay again. The rooms are spacious and well done. They've done a great job keeping the old spirit of the building with warm modern upgrades. My one issue was people dragging their luggage down the stairs at 5am. I recommend getting a room away from the stairs to reduce noise. That's what we did on our second stay and it made it so much better.
We arrived about 5:30 am after traveling for 24 hours. (I can't sleep on planes!) We were offered a spot in the open-air lounge or in the breakfast room by the girls at desk on night shift (they said our rooms wouldn't be ready until late afternoon) but it was freezing and we were exhausted. When the day desk clerks came on, I sobbed and begged them for a room, as I could see people checking out. The girls felt sorry for us and not only got our rooms (just 2) ready, they also sent us to bed with hot water bottles! That's hospitality! Staff did laundry for us after hiking the Incan Trail. Beautiful hotel, very close to Plaza and restaurants. Since this trip, my husband makes sure to reserve a room the night before early morning arrivals so we don't have to wait. Same thing happened to us in London after a red-eye flight a couple of years earlier.
