10/10 Excellent
"We stayed two non-contiguous nights. We first was greeted by Milagros when we arrived early at 6:20 AM. She smiled and was very nice to help us store our luggage. We went out and came back around noon, and our room was ready. The room is very clean and updated, and the hotel is very close (less than one block) to the main square. At the top, there is a nice view of the cathedral and surrounding area. We left early the next day and stored our luggage again for a 2 days 1 night tour. Milagros was there and helped us with everything.
When we came back the 2nd time, Jose was at the reception and he told us our room was ready and our luggage was in our room already. When we asked for a grab and go breakfast due to our early departure, he happily obliged. He even left a personal note to me that I carried it with me back home. They both are the fine examples of the Peruvian hospitality. "
"Such a pretty hotel, nice beds, and bathrooms, very clean. Huge breakfast buffet. Staff was incredibly helpful. Even made bud reservations for us. Great location, six minutes from main square.. tons of restaurants close by"
"El desayuno estaba bastante bien, el servicio también, pero creo que el costo era demasiado para el tamaño de las habitaciones y las condiciones generales del hotel.
La ubicación si es buena, cerca de la plaza"
"This is a modern, clean property with great views and in a good location for local hikes and visiting Colca Canyon. The staff were friendly and helpful and helped us organise some trips and provided towels for bathing in the hot springs (about 20 min walk).
The only downside of staying in Yanque is that there are very limited options for dining. The hotel restaurant was ok but breakfast options were limited."
