“Fantastic budget hotel, 8 out of 10. For me staff made the place.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

people found this review helpful

After seeing the name 'Mystic' in a hotel name we had to book a night here!
We arrived at Cusco airport, collected by a friendly member of staff and on the way to our accomodation without delay.

When we arrived at the hotel we wondered where we had booked looking at the street outside, but rest assured it was all a false worry, the hosts were super warm and quickly showed us to our room which was much nicer than expected. The streets outside was nothing to worry about infact I really enjoyed the area.

The stay was generally good. A few issues made it not 10 out of 10.
The market opposite starts early (5am) with loud banging with the noise of people setting up stalls. The breakfast was not great and didnt really set us up for the long days ahead. (Coffee, bread roll & jam) the offer of eggs was available but we had no time due to other arrangements.

Overall other positives made it very good, We arranged another night upon our return so we were allowed to leave our large bags for free while visiting Machu Picchu, our laundry was also done while we were away. One member of staff (Young lady with glasses, sorry we didnt get her name) couldnt help us enough and was what made our stay there much better, by arranging laundry, booking taxi's, local knowledge, always friendly. Hope she gets the recognition she deserves.

PS. Go upstairs to the rooftop for great views and stealth photos!

Room Tip: Get a room away from the market for a quieter night.

“Excellent!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

Rey Antares Mystic Hotel is situated in the heart of Cusco, opposite markets that offer everything imaginable! Looking out from the breakfast room window you can see life in Cusco starting early in the morning, vibrant and with amazing diversity. The great location means that many great places to visit and wonderful places to eat, are all within easy walking distance. What makes this Hotel so memorable is the fantastic staff that offer incredibly friendly and helpful service. We were able to store our luggage when we headed off to the jungle for a few days and organising taxis and obtaining help with for Spanish translations was happily provided. Returning to the Hotel after being away was like returning to a house of good friends and when leaving for the last time, left us with a little sadness also. Nothing was too much trouble for the gorgeous staff here and my desire to return is also a result of their kindness. Make time to relax in the rooftop room that unfortunately we didn't discover until our last day! We would thoroughly recommend staying here!

“Great Hotel_The Only Review You Need To Read”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

If you are looking for a nice hotel at a good rate in an excellent location in Cusco, you have come to the right place. I am extremely well traveled, I have stayed in the most minimalistic hostels and some of the finest hotels around the globe so I am qualified to review a property accurately. Here is what you can expect: (1) Nice employees which to be honest is probably just one or two girls at any given time who take pride in making your stay enjoyable (most reading this review make more per day than these girls in a month so don't get pissy or have unrealistic expectations). (2) A room that has everthing you need to get ready for your trip to Machu Picchu which is why you are headed to this city to begin with I'm sure and is as follows: a locking door in a safe area with a bed, hot water shower, internet access and a nice breakfast. If you need more than that you have either choosen the wrong vacation or need a more expensive place. This is Cusco Peru so don't expect perfect English, hospital grade clean or the luxury of walking outdoors with your Rolex on. You came here to get away so just get away to this nice hotel and throw that damn hand sanitizer out the window and start living a little. This is a great little hotel so don't let anyone tell you otherwise

“Great rooms! But we were forgotten...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed at Rey Antares for 4 nights before doing the Inca trail and it was really nice to be greeted with coca tea. The room and bathroom were clean with hot water showers. We then left our bags at the hotel for 3 nights while we completed the Inca trail. Upon our return the staff did not recognise us or have any recollection of us leaving our bags in the room. This worried us. Eventually it was all sorted out and we received our bags back and were moved to another room which had a pile of rubbish (old bags etc) behind the door from the previous guests. This was promptly cleaned up and other than that the room was clean and it was so so great to have a hot shower! The staff were nice but we did find it strange when they had no recollection of us after 3 days.

Room Tip: Top floor can leave you puffed if fresh off the plane!
