The staff were excellent. We arrived at 730am even though our check in was at 1030. They let us in right away since we didn’t sleep all night from our flights. Great and friendly staff that is a clock from the city center!

Less than stellar
I have stayed at this hotel. We got off on a bad start as they did not have my reservation. It took a few calls before they decided to give me the queen bed I booked and paid for. I did not get any perks and they honestly did not even acknowledge Hotel.com. I will not book this hotel again and I hope Hotels.com will take a look at this hotel to make sure they are following Hotels.com policies and perks.

No help from the staff, no lights on the hallway (dark to walking), no fan in the restroom, no windows for outside. They give us 2 single beds instead of king size bed ( my husband and I have to sleep separate, we don’t like it) room was cold, only small portable heater was provided. Buffet breakfast was not good, very little food almost nothing.
Not happy with our stay

Would not stay here
Very loud. Extremely cold room, heater didn’t work, no extra blankets or pillows available. No elevator. Light fixture had shattered and bulb was flickering dangerously. No shampoo or soap. Desk staff not very helpful. Nobody was available when we wanted to check out at 6:15 am, the main door was locked and gated, so we had to let ourselves out of a side door with an unlocked dead bolt hanging off it and hoped for the best. The only positive thing this place was the location. Hotels.com might want to reconsider including this in its listings.

Os únicos pontos positivos foram o café da manhã e a localização.
Prédio antigo, quartos nos andares superiores com longas escadas, péssimo para subir com malas, e para os dias de adaptação com a altitude.
Horário do check out nas redes sociais é 10h, mas no hotel informam que precisamos sair às 9h. Funcionários não fazem muito esforço para deixar o hóspede a vontade. Quartos com cheiro de mofo, abafados, nossa janela era basculante e dava para o telhado do prédio ao lado, criando uma sensação desconfortável de insegurança. Colchões e travesseiros de péssima qualidade. Se você gosta de um mínimo de conforto, evite.

Fiquei hospedado no Hotel Empedrador Plaza.
Fiquei hospedado no Hotel Empedrador Plaza por sete dias e foi uma experiência excelente! O hotel possui uma recepção 24 horas, com uma equipe extremamente cordial e atenciosa, sempre disposta a ajudar no que for necessário. O quarto em que fiquei era grande, arejado e muito confortável. Os lençóis estavam impecavelmente limpos, o banheiro era amplo, limpo e contava com uma ducha quente com bastante água, o que foi perfeito para relaxar.
O café da manhã também merece destaque, com ótimas opções para começar o dia bem alimentado. Além disso, o custo-benefício é excelente, oferecendo uma ótima relação entre preço e qualidade dos serviços.
Eu adorei minha estadia no Hotel Empedrador Plaza e, sem dúvidas, super recomendo a todos que estiverem planejando viajar para Cusco no Perú.

Imágenes no reales
Las fotos no son como se muestra, no hay wifi las 24 horas y cuando hay no llega a las habitaciones, el desayuno es muy simple y en general el hotel es algo viejo, el punto favorable es que se encuentra muy céntrico, pero no es lo que muestran en las fotos.

Horrible hotels.com
They did not give me a room . They said it’s hotels.com fault. I have it in writing from them.
It’ was weather and had to struggle for 2-3 hours as your customer care when contacted were not of help . Your customer care number promised to get back in 4 minutes. After waiting for 30 minutes I tried to call again hotels.com but automated machine informed me that your services are closed. The weather in Cusco was very bad and with all luggage I had to struggle for few hours before a local agency found a room in a very expensive hotel. Your this performance gave a lot of mental, physical and monatory torture

Um bom lugar para ficar...
Um bom lugar para ficar com ótima localização em relação a praça central. Café da manhã satisfatório, cama Boa e chuveiro regular com grande oscilação de água quente e fria. Quartos limpos com cama Boa. Hotel precisando de reforma. Mas no geral recomendo.
