Cusco: Hotel Rumi Punku

Visit Us

Hotel Rumi Punku

Cusco is choc a bloc with accommodation, but we think this little hotel not far from the centre is one of the best for its standard and price.

Just a few short blocks uphill from the Plaza de Armas, in arty San Blas, the amiable little Hotel Rumi Punka offers guests a cosy place to stay in a colonial-style environment. In common with most buildings of the era it has rooms facing central courtyards, but with the additional bonus of a peaceful garden at the back. Bits of original Inca wall and a genuine Inca doorway add to the historical flavour, and traditional Peruvian motifs appear throughout the décor. 

Guestrooms have polished wooden floors and spacious, contemporary bathrooms. The hotel also offers free internet access, safety deposit box, laundry facilities, a lounge with fireplace and a breakfast room where an excellent spread is served. Unusually for this grade of hotel there is also a sauna, Jacuzzi and gym, though there is an extra charge to use these facilities.

“

A stunningly interesting, beautifully appointed, well located and authentic hotel. Absolutely perfect for our short stay, although would happily have stayed there for much longer.

“

The hotel is based on an old colonial house, but with Incan elements. Further more recent sections have been added (in keeping with the whole) but we found navigation around the site (like to our room and back) a bit confusing. More signage (e.g. signs to the Exit and to rooms) would help guests to navigate the corridors.  Location of the hotel close to the main square is good. The hotel has 3 floors and our room on the second floor was a good size, with an efficient radiator and Norwegian thermal blankets (it can get cold in Cusco). It was also quiet. The bed was large and comfortable. The bathroom was also a  good size, with very hot hot water continuously available. Staff were helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was a bit limited. Egg dishes were made to order, which was just as well as the scrambled egg in the buffet was cold and solid on our first morning. The TV had CNN & BBC World and the Wi-fi was good.

Favourite hotel. Lovely quirky layout, great location, good breakfasts, friendly staff.  Not sure if it would cater for those with mobility issues.

"This is a dear little hotel in a great town.  We did enjoy it here, and had the same room on our return after the Inca Trail. The front reception staff were not particularly helpful though." ”

"Another slightly quirky hotel, built on several levels behind a genuine Inca gateway. The rooms were comfortable and well appointed. All, however, were reached by steps. This posed no problems for me but might be a challenge for people with mobility problems. Breakfast was good, with a range of items from which to choose. The hotel does not have its own restaurant or bar. Given that it is only a short walk from the Plaza de Armas, however, this was not an issue. There are plentiful restaurants within a couple of minutes walk."

"Great location near to the main square with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Rooms are huge and the gardens and courtyards are set in lovely grounds. Breakfasts are freshly served with requests for eggs taken to order."
