About
Aqua Hotel Cusco
Aqua Hotel Cusco (also known as Casa Real Hoteles Cusco) sits on Av. Garcilaso, a short walk from the historic centre. Guests consistently highlight the location – close to Plaza de Armas and the Convent of Santo Domingo – and the staff's willingness to help, from arranging tours to packing box lunches for early departures.
The hotel keeps things straightforward: free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour reception, and a breakfast buffet served on the top floor with views over the city. Rooms range from singles to a Queen Room with a king-size bed, and the Deluxe Double adds heating and a bathtub for cooler Andean nights.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Value rating sits below average — The Value category is rated 7.0, lower than the property's overall 7.9, suggesting some guests feel the price-to-experience ratio could be better.
- No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking among its amenities, so guests arriving by car will need to find alternatives in the city centre.
- Pets not allowed — The pet policy is explicitly 'Not allowed', which may be limiting for travellers with animals.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 11:00 to 23:00, so late-night arrivals after 11 pm are not accommodated without prior arrangement.
