Long beloved and highly recommended, this hotel is run by a Dutch-founded nonprofit foundation that serves underprivileged children in Cuzco. It is a rambling colonial with sunny courtyard. Refurbished rooms are bordered with bright trim and feature plaid throws and portable heaters. In the coldest months there are hot-water bottles to tuck in bed. A second branch is located at Fierro 476.
The public cafeteria features homemade cakes and breads as well as box lunches.
