This hotel is not 4*.... Stay somewhere else.. or better still just avoid Puno alltogether as its grim.
This hotel is located at the back end of Puno, down a bad dirt road surrounded by half built & derelict plots.. its like Beruit.. as a result the hotel comes equiped with a security guard on its entrance, security cameras and is surrounded by a high wall with electrified wire along the top. Its too far out of town to walk back in and you are trapped in a poor quality hotel with nowhere else to go.
The only reason we stayed here is to facilitate a visit to the lake, but I would not repeat the experience!
Beyond the cosy looking lobby with open fire at this hotel, the rooms are cheesy, dated and freezing cold in low season with only a tiny portable oil radiator to heat the entire space. We were cold all night and slept in our jumpers and socks. The oil radiator smelled wierd and the room in general smelled wierd. We discovered a load of air fresheners under the bed, so the hotel are obviously aware.
The rooms really need TLC and a re-fit. Fixtures, fittings and carpets are tired. Things like kettle with plug that didn't fit the wall socket and when they brought us correct plug it didnt work anyway😂. Bathroom had cracked tiles and ugly looking re-filled holes in the walls, plus a sticking toilet flush...Anyway you get the idea.
Breakfast was not great. No freshly brewed coffee to order.. only machine or pre-made in a jug. Pastries were all dried out, there was some dried up wilted bacon in a warmer and scrambled egg that had changed colour from hanging around so long.
We'd had such a warm reception and great experience in Cusco that our reception in Puno and this hotel in general was a complete let down by comparison. .. Avoid!
