Hostal El Triunfo

Perfectly situated a few steps from Plaza de Armas with very basic breakfast (but good enough to start the day). Room is good enough with very basic toiletries (a small soap and a sachet of shampoo). WiFi connection is reliable. Just be aware that it can be challenging for taxis to find this place (if you are taking one from the airport) as the street name is not Triunfo but calle Sunturwasi. If you don't want your taxi to be lost for many minutes, I highly recommend that you ask the taxi to drop you off the Paddy's Irish Pub next to the Cathedral. Then just walk up calle Sunturwasi and you will find the hotel in your left.

We are very satisfied with our stay at Hostal El Triunfo. The location is perfect. It's located in the centre of the Historic District. We found the Main Square, St Pedro's Market and a lot of nice restaurants are only within walking distance. The room is really comfy and clean, especially the bathroom. The nice water pressure makes shower extra refreshing. Heating system keeps people warm during the night. Also, the view from my room is beautiful. The room exceeds our expectations for a hotel of this price. The breakfast is basic but delicious. They have scrambled eggs, ham, fresh fruits, yoghurt, cereal and bread. The breakfast starts our day with energy. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful. She offered us information about taxi service, nearby pharmacies, etc.

The hostal has a great location, just one block from the Plaza de Armas. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was simple and practically the same everyday, which could have been improved. Overall, the hostal is good and I would recommend staying here. The only issue I had, as noted in my previous review, is that the room they gave us was not the one shown when booked at hotels.com. The room shown online was a suite, with a small sofa area. The room they actually gave us was much smaller, with no sofa, just a double bed. When confronted, the staff at the front desk said that they only have one suite and it is assigned automatically, so she could not do anything about it, and that the pictures shown on the website, not reflecting reality, are not her responsibility either. We felt cheated, but at that point, we could not cancel (since it was already after the change deadline) and it would be very difficult to find another place to stay. So, if you are booking a double room, the large room you see in the pictures might, and probably will not be what you get.

Great place to stay at! Good location, clean and nice hot showers. When we were staying there, people were coming back at 2am and really loud though.

Loved this place! My little oasis before and after trekking Machu Picchu! They arranged airport pick up for me which was perfect! Located a block from the main square, Plaza de Armas, in town. Perfect location! My room was great, even had a heater, warm water, everything I needed, breakfast every morning was superb with hot and cold choices, fresh fruit, cereals, coca tea, coffee... The staff were very friendly and helpful! I was able to leave a bag in the hotel when I trekked to Machu Picchu! Again, the location was perfect! If I ever come back, I’d definitely stay here again!
