e stayed at Torre Dorada for 5(five) nights.
At the arrival in Cusco we were greeted by a Torre Dorada representative who waited for us and provided the transfer to the hotel.
Once arrived at the Hotel a very friendly, fast and efficient check-in was provided.
It was early in the morning, before 10 a.m, and we were in our room. Few minutes after the check-in we benefited of a very comprehensive presentation and discussion regarding the places to be visited, and we received all the details regarding the surroundings and advice related to Cusco: where to go and where to eat in order to stay healthy, and how to deal with the adjustment to the high altitude from the very first day. It was one of the most important things, because later on we met people with huge stomach problems… and not only.
The rooms at Torre Dorada are excellent and very, very clean! The beds are perfect, covered with alpaca blankets, very comfortable; electric heaters are provided in each room and on the hallways; safety deposit box in each room. Tea and hot water, several sortiments, is available 24/7 for your convenience for each room; TVs, (if you have time to watch, access to Internet without any problems, bathrooms with shower, everything you need, hairdryer, cosmetics and hot water is available 24/7. Each room is supplied with bottled water daily.
Breakfast: very fresh, excellent cheese, cold cuts, butter, milk, cereals, eggs (are made as you wish), fresh squeezed juice (papaya, orange, pineaple, etc. ), fresh fruits, an excellent peruvian coffee, fresh bread, and all of them served in a very clean and friendly breakafst area. Breakfast is included within your rate. If you want to have something during the evening hours, (e.g.: a light meal, or a warm sandwich, etc.) are available for an extra modest price.
Included within your rate are all the transfers TO and FROM the city points of interest, including trips to an ATM if needed; Torre Dorada has several cars with drivers ready to take you and to offer you the transfers when you need them. The fact that the Hotel is in a very elegant and quiet area of Cusco was an advantage from our point of view: it is a quiet area where you can rest well. You can enjoy the view from a very nice terrace on the rooftop during the evening hours.
The most remarkable thing is that each tourist is treated as a friend, and a lot of attention is being offered by the hotel staff to everybody; you will feel that all of the Hotel personnel wants to serve you and to offer you the best; the personnel speaks English. Peggy Kalinovsky –the owner and General Manager is a very distinguished person who along with Danny and Mariela will assist you to plan your trips in the surrounding area. They recommended us the best places to eat in town, (where the food is fresh and you will not have any health issues) and those places were not the most expensive! as other hotels recommended us…
In our opinion, Tore Dorada was the PERFECT PLACE to stay in Cusco. We regretted one thing only: that we left Cusco and went to another hotel in Urubamba. All of things that we saw from Urubamba were accessible from Cusco (Torre Dorada). Many thanks to everybody who is working there so hard to provide such comfortable accommodation.
