Inti Punku MachuPicchu Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"Habitación limpia, agradable hotel. La habitación no es de las que tenían vista, pero era silenciosa (importante cuando estás cansado por los tours) La puerta del baño tenía el llavín dañado, pero nada serio. Teníamos A/C portátil, lo cual fue útil por la temporada. Artículos de baño de cortesía, y la facilidad de que nos cuidaron nuestro equipaje luego del check out, se agradece."
