We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at El Albergue. This property has so much charm -- both the interior spaces and the lovely landscaped grounds filled with old trees and beautiful flowers. There is a low-key friendliness and intimacy to this place that makes you feel at home. We stayed in one of the newer rooms -- very large with high... More

This was our favorite hotel during our 9 day visit to Peru. The rooms both couples got were recently redecorated, large and well furnished. Our room had in the floor heating and was in the newer building, which architectually matched the rest of this small hotel in almost all details. The grounds and gardens were beautiful. The complimentary full breakfast... More

This hotel is an absolute gem. The rooms are incredibly spacious and have such and amazing feel. From the linens, to the furniture, to the fresh cut flowers, to the balcony and chairs, everything adds to the charm of the place. We spent six nights here and easily could have spent more. Ollantaytambo is described as the prettiest town in... More

We stayed here with our children aged 6, 8, & 10 in May. The rooms were a good size and the beds were comfortable. It had a nice welcoming feel and my kids were very comfortable here. The restaurant was very good to and the alpaca steak was excellent. The only negatives were no conditioner in the room (so bring... More

This place oozes charm - quite a feat given its location at the train station, en route to Machu Picchu/Aguas Calientes. Highlights for us were: the gorgeous tropical garden in the courtyard; the views from some areas of the snow-capped mountains (a bonus I hadn't known about), and the excellent restaurant. We were in a "Standard" room, the old part... More

Our group of 10 spent 3 days at El Albergue after our 3D/4N trek on the Inca Trail and found this to be an outstanding hotel in an exceptional small town (Ollantaytambo). Wish we had more time to spend there! The location right by the train station worked out well (although you may want to avoid rooms on that side).... More

Our stay at the Albergue Ollantaytambo was only for one night; but we wouldn't have picked a better place to stay before our journey to Machu Picchu the next day. I recommend this to anyone. We stayed there the night before going to Machu Picchu, I picked this place because of the location. You literally walk out their back/front door... More

Great location, wonderful ambience, comfortable rooms. You can't beat this lovely property and tremendous staff. Can't imagine being better looked after anywhere else. Easy to avoid Aguas Caliente by taking the first train out, and the last train back.

The hotel is located right next to the train station to Machu Picchu. The room condition is pretty clean and modern. There is free wifi in the room. The staffs in the hotel are friendly and the restaurant in the hotel is also not bad.

The proximity to the railway station didn’t seem to interfere with the ambiance of the hotel. The early morning departures didn’t hinder our sleep. We spent two-nights. The breakfasts included cappuccinos, eggs, breads and fresh fruit. The evening cuisine in the restaurant was first-rate.
