Machu Picchu, Cusco Region hotel rooms at the Independent

"I really enjoyed staying at this hotel, the room was fresh and comfy with a really nice view to the river. The staff is extremely friendly and really elevated the experience. "

"Good option if you are on the move. "

"The room was available at noon. Our sheets were a little damp when we first checked in but it was tolerable since we were only there for sleep. The staff was very supportive and provided excellent customer service."

"You get what you pay for. This was a last minute booking because my original hotel sold my room after booking with Expedia. Naturalodge is at the top of what feels like a thousand steps. The rooms with windows look nice, unfortunately we didn’t have one of those. Showers were hot before 8 and after 1900. I was fortunate enough to find out they are not hot at 1500 upon returning from a sweaty day in macchu picchu. When we did get new towels we had to ask for them because they didn’t have extras and ours were in the dryer. There is a reason this hotel was still available close to our trip after the original booking at Tierra Vito was overbooked and made us cancel."

"Excellent location near the train station."

"Considering how crowded Machu Picchu Pueblo is, this hotel’s location is great. It may be right next to the train tracks, but at least it’s flat and there isn’t constant foot traffic. Anywhere in this town will be noisy - either from the trains or the river. Pros- staff will meet you at the train station to escort you to the hotel.(A very wonderful surprise). Friendly staff. Good breakfast selection. If you don’t see something, just ask. Good sized rooms. Cons- needs updating. The bathtub/shower is a bit scary to use since you need to use a step stool to climb into the tall tub. It also has a significant downward slope for drainage. Older folks will need to be extra cautious getting in and out. The Ecco setting is nice unless u want the mini frig to stay cold. The power turns off when the room key is removed from the slot. I was a little surprised they didn’t offer help with luggage when we checked out. We would have asked if we really needed help but we should have been asked considering this is a “nicer” hotel."
