About

Katari At Plaza De Armas Cusco

Katari At Plaza De Armas Cusco sits on Loreto Street, a quiet pedestrian lane directly off Cusco's main square. The hotel has just 22 rooms, putting guests in the middle of the historic centre yet away from the busiest foot traffic. The building itself holds Inca-era stone walls, which feature prominently in some of the recently renovated rooms.

The team is a recurring highlight in guest feedback, with several staff members mentioned by name for going beyond the usual — from arranging early transfers to looking after belongings while guests are out. Breakfast includes eggs cooked to order, and the lounge area by the patio offers a calm spot to plan the day.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Location on Plaza de Armas — The hotel sits directly on Cusco's main square, putting restaurants, sights, and tour departures within a short walk.
  • Staff who go beyond — Multiple guests mention staff by name — Guido, Nohely, Maribel, Gerson — for arranging tours, transport, and personal favours.
  • Renovated rooms with Inca features — Several guests highlight brand-new rooms, spacious layouts, and the original Inca stonework preserved in the building.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Comfort scores lower than other categories — While rooms are praised for newness, the comfort rating sits at 6.8 — below the hotel's overall 8.4 — which may mean variable bedding or noise for some.
  • No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking, and its pedestrian-only street means arriving by car requires planning. Paid airport shuttle is available instead.
  • Small hotel, limited facilities — With only 22 rooms and no pool or fitness centre, guests looking for large-hotel extras may find the offer basic. There is no lift mentioned, so mobility may be a consideration.

“Our room was brand new and spacious, with a flat-screen TV with cable channels, central heating, and a private safe. The staff were affable and gave great recommendations. The location was excellent, about a 5-minute walk from a main church, and the city centre was just a short stroll away.”

“We had a fantastic stay. Being so close to the main square made it easy to reach restaurants and sights. The staff were helpful — recommending tours and arranging transport for our early departure. The room was comfortable and clean, a good place to rest after long days out, and the breakfast was more than enough to start the day.”
