Hotel Samanapaq

Wow. Hotel Samanapaq is an oasis in Ollantaytambo that I will recommend to anyone!!! Tula and the staff are incredible welcoming, helpful, attentive and warm. They are proud to welcome you to Peru/Ollantaytambo, and it shows. The hotel’s location is ideal - a short <5 minute walk to the center. The breakfast is beautiful and delicious, the hotel decor is stunning and tasteful, rooms are very comfortable (beds too!), and the property is spacious, lush, and beautiful. Our young children loved exploring the premises while we enjoyed our morning coffee. The Tula and staff are willing to help with anything and are well connected throughout the community - from laundry, to taxis, to activities. HIGHLY recommend … we are so sad to have to leave!

The hotel was our favorite stay in the whole trip. The location was great, a short walk from the plaza de armas and the main ruins of Ollantaytambo. The staff was excellent. Extremely welcoming and friendly. We felt like home. I will certainly recommend this place to friends and family.

Great experience. Great staff. Breakfast is decent. The hotel is well kept for the standards of what you will find for the area. Loved the super hot water. Heaters in rooms kept us warm. We got 2 rooms for my family. For those considering this town, the town is a much better option from staying at Aguas You get a true INCA feel. In Aguas, you get hecklers.

Spent one night there with my family on our way to Aguas Calientes. Very nice spot with a big and beautiful garden where my daughter could spend all the energy accumulated during the long hours travelling by plane and car – she said this was the best hotel she's ever been :) Super friendly staff who went out of the way to accommodate our requests. Only down side is that the internet is only available on the common areas.

Great communication pre-visit through Hotels.com app. Signage isn't great. Wasn't clear where to enter when we got there and the taxi picking us up couldn't find us. HOWEVER, we had an amazing night. It is like a hidden oasis gem behind nondescript walls. Tula was very helpful at front desk and in getting us oriented to the whole MP train travel that we had already purchased. The rooms were clean. We were the only ones in the hotel that night. She set a fire for us in the central area where we could eat dinner. Both rooms had small heaters that were adequate. Initially, we had no hot water, as it had been 'turned off' during covid. Within minutes, Tula had turned the valve on and we were fine. She tried to move us along in the morning so we could enjoy breakfast while getting to the train on time. ( We walked to the plaza nd took a S/10 taxi to the station to save time) My family's only regret was that we didn't have time to just relax in this beautiful inn for a few days longer

Hotel Samanapaq made our stay in Ollantaytambo wonderful. We actually ended up staying two nights instead of one because it was the ideal place to rest up for an additional day and do some local hikes. The family run establishment was professional and super friendly from the moment we checked in until the moment we left. The facilities were clean, well equipped and we had some of the most wonderful hot showers I have experienced in Peru. I highly recommend this hotel if you are visting the ruins of Ollantaytambo or the surrounding areas.
