Top Cusco Hotel Reviews

Atoq San Blas Hotel

Atoq San Blas Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely boutique hotel with a personal touch We enjoyed our stay at Atoq San Blas. It’s a lovely small boutique hotel with great rooms, and the bathrooms were good overall. The location was convenient, with a laundromat and pharmacy nearby. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming, even before we arrived. The thoughtful little welcome note and cookies were a lovely touch and made the experience feel very personal. One area for improvement would be the towels. Although they were clean and fresh, the white towels looked a little dingy and would benefit from being replaced. Overall, a pleasant stay, made especially enjoyable by the warm hospitality and thoughtful touches."
