About
Tambo Cusco Inn
Tambo Cusco Inn sits on Calle Carmen Kijllu 250, roughly a 5-minute walk from the mid-1500s San Blas Temple and about the same distance from the Convent of Santo Domingo. The location is a recurring highlight in guest reviews, with the central Plaza and the Inca ruins easily reachable on foot.
The hotel keeps things uncomplicated: Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, luggage storage, housekeeping, and a paid airport shuttle are all available. Private car parking is offered on site, which is a practical plus in Cusco's narrow streets. While not a luxury property, the consistent praise for cleanliness and helpful staff makes it a dependable base for exploring.
Rooms range from a Large Single to a Deluxe Family Double, and the property also has a Family Twin and a Comfort Triple. The family accommodations work well for groups — one reviewer mentioned trekkers being accommodated with luggage storage and takeaway breakfasts for early departures.
The property is no-smoking throughout and doesn't allow pets. The guest rating of 6.8 across 1,265 reviews places it below the Cusco area average of 8.2, but that gap is offset by the strong scores for staff (7.6) and value-focused praise in the reviews. It's a pragmatic choice for travelers who want to be near the action without overspending.
