Staff was lovely, especially Giada!
This place was great! Giada who worked there was incredibly helpful! She whatsapped us in advance, arranged a taxi to pick us up for a very reasonable price, had breakfast ready for our 3am departure, and held our bags for us. She also connected us with a couple local drivers who could take us to sites in the sacred valley. The room was really clean and comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. Would 100% recommend!

Good Hotel
Nice clean hotel. Front desk great, room not big but pleasant, good breakfast. 18-20 minutes toPlaza de Armas. Hotel is on nice side street in an area that not particularly glamorous. Iglesia de Nuestrs Seńora de Belen is 5-10 minutes away.

Our stay at Casa Esmeralda was excellent! The hotel is gorgeous, and is located in a very convenient spot, without being too submerged in the bustle and noise of the city. The rooms were always kept clean by the staff, and the complimentary breakfast every morning was always delicious! Giara, the receptionist, is the sweetest! She was very gracious and helpful with anything we needed throughout our stay.

Rooms are very comfortable, staff very friendly, breakfast was above our expectations. Due to its location is better to move using transportation to visit other places in Cusco.

Great for Solo Travelers
The staff was very helpful although they didn't speak English. I was able to use Google translate and WhatsApp to communicate effectively. The breakfast is included and very tasty. It's mostly buffet style however they also made omelettes according to your liking. The rooms are cleaned daily and the team and coffee station is always well maintained. Very quiet and relaxing.

Very friendly and helpful staff
Having hot water, tea and coca leaves always available is helpful when dealing with the increased altitude. We told them at 6 pm that we needed to leave early for our tour and there was a packed food bag for us the next morning at 4 am

I was only there one night between returning from Machu Picchu and heading back to Lima. But the entire place impressed me. It was beautiful! 12min walk to Mercado San Pedro. Eggs made to order at breakfast.

The hotel was super cute and the staff were so helpful and accommodating!! The only thing that could have been better was the heat situation! They didn't turn on the heat until 6 pm on my first stay and then not until 9 pm on my second when I returned from my trek. That being said, the front staff turned it on for me earlier as I was freezing and just needed some warmth after being in the mountains. I would definitely recommend Casa Esmeralda. It was close enough to Plaza de Armas, San Pedro market, and everywhere else, and the service was excellent!
