The windows to our room opened into the courtyard/lobby of the hotel, so in trying to keep our room cool we were subjected to a ton of noise at weird hours of the night. I think our room had it the worst, but it wasn't the greatest experience.

Hotel is nice, breakfast is good. There are glasses in the bathroom, and we called the front desk to ask if the water was safe to drink from the tap - some hotels in Peru have filtration systems - the guy at the front desk said emphatically that it was safe. We asked in both English and Spanish. My husband drank a little of the water and got quite ill. The next morning we advised the front desk and the woman working said under no circumstances is it safe to drink. It is our fault - we should not have taken the chance, because it’s rule of thumb in Peru to only drink bottled. However we were misinformed, which was probably a miscommunication of some sort… anyway, the hotel was apologetic but did not try to help

The staff at the Ruias is amazing; their purposeful hospitality stood out during our visit. Everything we requested at any hour was immediately got an immediate response. The hotel's location, near the main plaza, is very convenient.

Is a very convenient hotel, near Plaza de Armas. In a safe area, specially if you are traveling alone.
Just make sure that you are not place in a rooms that face that street because is very noise and not good for resting.

Caring and compassionate from the doorman to the front desk and cleaning staff. My wife had a medical issue and the staff immediately assisted her needs. They also helped fix mistakes the travel agency had made in the booking. I can’t say enough good things about the hotel experience. It was the best part of our travel experience.

I really enjoyed this hotel. Its location, 2 minutes from the main square, was excellent. The customer service was also super friendly and helpful. I really only saw two drawbacks, and these may be true for any of the hotels in older buildings that are centrally located. Firstly, I had the option of taking a street facing room or not. I thought it would be nice to have a balcony to see whatever was happening outside. Unfortunately, this includes a dozen or so tour buses that show up every morning as early as 4:00am. That means early morning noise. Many day tours originating in Cusco begin very early each morning. This isn’t the hotel’s fault but is something to be aware of if given a choice of room. The only other thing to be aware of is that in older buildings it may take quite a long time for the hot water to make its way to your room if your up early for one of those 4:00am tours. This is just something to be aware of if you’re looking for a warm shower in the early morning but also something I ran into at a second hotel I stayed at.
Id definitely stay here again

First stay at Ruinas since pandemic…found hotel to be worn out…carpeting on steps worn through to backing, frayed, dirty and loaded with stains. Bedding was gross… felt very unclean and definitely old and worn. So for the price of 95 US dollar you would expect otherwise!
Breakfast included in stay, but it was same typical buffet; nothing beyond. No dietary restrictions options such as gluten free or without salt… so I had to go out to breakfast each day.
Location is great…
Front desk charged us for a night stay that we were adamant had been already paid for. And then ( thankfully) realized their mistake. Be aware and carefully… always get a receipt and keep email records!!
Had to change rooms as invaded by a horse of ants in first room & from looking at the picture one can see that they were after something sweet on counter like a circular glass… meaning that bathroom sink area hadn’t been cleaned from last customer. I was beyond disgusted!
Hotel Ruinas… not on my list of places to stay in Cusco. Not worth the monies.

Estrutura do hotel muito boa e agradável. Equipe de atendimento muito pouco simpática. No café da manhã, meia hora antes do término do horário, não havia mais bolo, água, ovos mexidos e outros itens. Pedi para repor os itens faltantes e disseram que tinham acabado. Trouxeram apenas um copo de água.
