About
Tambo Del Arriero Hotel Boutique
Tambo Del Arriero Hotel Boutique occupies a historic building in the heart of Cusco, with rooms spread over two floors around two plant-filled patios. The 17 individually designed rooms blend colonial charm with modern comfort — think parquet floors, sitting areas, and tea and coffee facilities. Families are well served by a suite that sleeps four, while couples can choose from standard, superior, or deluxe doubles.
Guests consistently highlight the attentive, warm staff, the spotless and spacious rooms, and the quiet location that is still only about ten minutes on foot from Plaza de Armas. Breakfast gets particular praise, with fresh options and custom extras prepared by the kitchen. The hotel also offers practical touches like luggage storage, laundry, and tour assistance, making it a reliable base for exploring Cusco and beyond.

- Spacious, comfortable rooms — Rooms are described as large, clean, and individually designed, with plenty of space for families in the suite.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities score below the rest — The hotel's facilities rating of 6.2 is the lowest category, suggesting the building's historic charm may come with some limitations (e.g., no elevator or limited public spaces).
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place — the policy is firm.
- Check-in starts at 13:00 — Though early arrivals are often accommodated (as noted in reviews), the official window doesn't begin until 1pm.
- Street noise possible in some rooms — While the location is generally quiet, it's in a city centre; you may hear occasional sounds from the street, though rooms are soundproofed.

8.8Verified guest“Our room was generous in size and the beds were comfy. The staff went out of their way to help, and the barman mixed excellent pisco sours.”
8.8Verified guest“The team was incredibly useful, with advice and tips that made a real difference. Drinks at the bar were top-notch. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. We liked being near the main plaza without being right on top of it. After days of walking, returning to a calm, comfortable hotel was exactly what we needed. We would happily recommend it to friends and family and loved our stay in Cusco.”
8.8Verified guest“A solid hotel with excellent Wi-Fi, a dependable 24-hour front desk, and staff who really care. They even tracked down a necklace I'd lost on an earlier visit. Renato was especially great. I'll definitely be back for a city break.”
8.8Verified guest“Pleasant food and a polished feel. The location is convenient for the city centre, close to the main square, attractions, and restaurants, as well as the historic district.”
8.8Verified guest“Rooms are modern and well appointed, with a balcony and hair dryer. The location is handy — near the main square, San Francisco Square, the market, and all the fascinating side streets in the historic centre.”
8.8Verified guest“The family suite gave four of us plenty of space. The building's colonial character added atmosphere, and the staff were consistently warm and friendly.”
