The staff at the Ruias is amazing; their purposeful hospitality stood out during our visit. Everything we requested at any hour was immediately got an immediate response. The hotel's location, near the main plaza, is very convenient.

Caring and compassionate from the doorman to the front desk and cleaning staff. My wife had a medical issue and the staff immediately assisted her needs. They also helped fix mistakes the travel agency had made in the booking. I can’t say enough good things about the hotel experience. It was the best part of our travel experience.

Good hotel with a great location
I really enjoyed this hotel. Its location, 2 minutes from the main square, was excellent. The customer service was also super friendly and helpful. I really only saw two drawbacks, and these may be true for any of the hotels in older buildings that are centrally located. Firstly, I had the option of taking a street facing room or not. I thought it would be nice to have a balcony to see whatever was happening outside. Unfortunately, this includes a dozen or so tour buses that show up every morning as early as 4:00am. That means early morning noise. Many day tours originating in Cusco begin very early each morning. This isn’t the hotel’s fault but is something to be aware of if given a choice of room. The only other thing to be aware of is that in older buildings it may take quite a long time for the hot water to make its way to your room if your up early for one of those 4:00am tours. This is just something to be aware of if you’re looking for a warm shower in the early morning but also something I ran into at a second hotel I stayed at. Id definitely stay here again

Needs TLC and updates!!
First stay at Ruinas since pandemic…found hotel to be worn out…carpeting on steps worn through to backing, frayed, dirty and loaded with stains. Bedding was gross… felt very unclean and definitely old and worn. So for the price of 95 US dollar you would expect otherwise! Breakfast included in stay, but it was same typical buffet; nothing beyond. No dietary restrictions options such as gluten free or without salt… so I had to go out to breakfast each day. Location is great… Front desk charged us for a night stay that we were adamant had been already paid for. And then ( thankfully) realized their mistake. Be aware and carefully… always get a receipt and keep email records!! Had to change rooms as invaded by a horse of ants in first room & from looking at the picture one can see that they were after something sweet on counter like a circular glass… meaning that bathroom sink area hadn’t been cleaned from last customer. I was beyond disgusted! Hotel Ruinas… not on my list of places to stay in Cusco. Not worth the monies.
