I can't speak highly enough about Casa Elena. As soon as we arrived we were handed steaming cups of coca tea. Our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. We also had wifi in our room, which was great for emailing home. We stayed at Casa Elena three days and couldn't have been happier with our choice. I'd stay there again... More

My wife and I and our two young sons are beginning our 2nd week of staying here to finalize an adoption. As mentioned in other reviews, the staff are absolutely fantastic. They have gone above and beyond in helping us with our laundry, our breakfasts, and with the extra help we have appreciated in transitioning from a family of 4... More

My wife and I have just returned from 9 days in Cusco. A good friend of mine recommended we stay at Casa Elena while in Cusco and we were glad we followed his advice.

The steaming hot cup of coca tea that is served to you the minute you arrive with suitcases in hand, is the first indicator that your experience at Casa Elena will be unforgetable. The rooms are beautifully decorated and always impeccably clean. The staff is gracious, helpful and always willing to converse with you even if Spanish is your second... More

I have been to Cusco many times and ALWAYS stay at Casa Elena. Incredible staff sooooo helpful. We have taken lots of friends there. Perfect!

Nice property. Good location. More expensive than anticipated for a small room. Staff was not very helpful. Breakfast was fair. Many hotels and hostels to chose from in Cusco. I'll not return to this one.

Throughout our stay Elena and her husband, Yves, offerered us good tips and advise about Cusco and its surroundings. The hotel is located in a nice neighborhood that is quiet and safe. It is only about a 5 minute walk... More

We stayed for 6 nights with our 11 year old daugther. Room, breakfast and the service of free hot ater for tea and coffee is very good. We stayed also with Elena and her husband Yves in the old "Casa Elena" in 1999 - then and now a kind, knowlegdeable and caring couple.

For our last night of our trip to the Sacred Valley, MP, and Cusco we decided to stay at Yves´s hostel because some friends had told me a lot of good things about it. Yves is a wonderful person, always eager to help. It is so nice to meet people like him when you travel, it makes your journey even... More
