Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was incredible to sit in the beautiful garden and see the ruins so close by. The room was comfortable and clean, and the included breakfast was decent (cereal, yogurt, eggs, bread, jam/butter, juice, fruit, tea/coffee). It was nice to have tea available at all times. Jorge and Jenrry were both kind; Jenrry went above and beyond, letting me know that he had found my ATM card after I had checked out, and had his grandmother bring it to me in Cusco. I am forever grateful for his help!

Muy acogedor.

El hotel está muy céntrico a dos cuadras de la plaza central. Las calles obscuras, empedradas, pero seguras. El cuarto del hotel pequeño con baño pequeño, la cama muy cómoda y con cobijas muy calientitas. Buena presión de agua fría y caliente, sin problemas. La atención del joven y las chicas que lo atienden con mucha cortesía y apoyo para conocer el poblado. El almuerzo completo, cereal, fruta, pan, jugo, huevo y café muy bien. Para cualquier estancia corta o larga muy cómodo.

Fantastic place!

Great hotel! The rooms are nice; fantastic hot shower; the breakfast was great (freshly cooked eggs, bread, and fruit); super friendly English speaking staff; and a very nice outdoor space to have a snack or drink. I would definitely stay here on a return visit and would totally recommend it to anyone else.

The Iskay was fantastic. Felt like we were in a genuine boutique hotel. Great bed, bedding and hot showers. The staff, particularly Mauricio, was exceptionally attentive to our needs and requests. Breakfasts were good. An on site restaurant is now operating and where we enjoyed a tasty dinner. The views from the hotels veranda are stunning. Compliments to owner Jorge and his staff for making our 5 day stay exceed all expectations.

Great service, sent us on an expensive taxi

Service was great. They individually served us in the morning. The only downside is that he had a friend take us back in a taxi to cusco for 150 Soles, which is way too expensive compared to the usual rates, so we felt cheated.

Nice, Scenic Base

This is a great place to stay. The owner was willing to share a lot of knowledge about the area, and provided actual booking help as opposed to just references to his tour partners, The views are great. The only issue was that the wifi really only worked close to the lobby, and I burned through some data before realizing how much it dropped.

Very pleased

Our stay at Hotel Iskay was very delightful. They were very thoughtful and provided great service. We were very glad we chose their hotel. Views from our room of the Inca ruins and the close proximity to the plaza, made us feel a part of their community, we enjoyed our entire stay. Clean and professional.
