This is a very well maintained, old style hotel. No elevator, but large wooden stairways beautifully polished and a huge lobby. I stayed there twice. One of the shower heads was not very good; the other was fine. They also have wonderful displays of antique ceramics. I would stay here again.
Wifi on the 3rd floor was really unstable. 1st floor was really good. People there were really nice and the Christmas decorations are really good. Overall good experience.
This property was conveniently located near the city center, is a prime location for most tours that offer pick up at the location, and offered airport pickup and drop off. It was perfect for my sister and I.
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.
Love the location yet in a very busy area of the historical area. Lots of shopping, dining and transportation options. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. I would give the staff a 10/10. I loved they did same day laundry services. Breakfast was great and had options for my dietary restrictions.
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.
Hotel is nice, breakfast is good. There are glasses in the bathroom, and we called the front desk to ask if the water was safe to drink from the tap - some hotels in Peru have filtration systems - the guy at the front desk said emphatically that it was safe. We asked in both English and Spanish. My husband drank a little of the water and got quite ill. The next morning we advised the front desk and the woman working said under no circumstances is it safe to drink. It is our fault - we should not have taken the chance, because it’s rule of thumb in Peru to only drink bottled. However we were misinformed, which was probably a miscommunication of some sort… anyway, the hotel was apologetic but did not try to help
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

The location is good, but if your room is facing the street, since it is an heritage building, you have to understand that they cannot do much on noise insulation. this have to think carefully when choosing the room.
