Nice accommodation for the price
Perfect location in the heart of the Pueblo. Easy access to/from the train station and to/from bus to Machu Picchu. Room is equipped with basic toiletries. The best thing is, it has hot water which most of the travelers have been complaining in other accommodations. Upon checking out, you can leave your luggage while enjoying the rest of your day until your scheduled departure time. Staff are very accommodating. I was not able to try the breakfast though.

Central, but a breakfast bummer
Lovely place, very conveniently located! Staff could be more flexible with breakfast times, as everyone is up early (4am) for Machu Pichu, but they only provide food from 6 and no costumary take away when out of hours, as per other hotels. Apart from that, super comfortable and central.

Disappointing
Big signs outside that you can pay with credit card, but then I was told that it's not possible! The room has an old, dingy feel to it, but the absolute worst was that there was no hot water!!! It's close to the train station, at least...

Great place to stay for Machu Picchu!
Excellent location, great service, and everything seemed clean. I would stay here again if I was to visit Machu Picchu. The hotel held our luggage while we were at MP and they even packed us a lunch for the day which was very nice. Great location right along the river and we had great views of the mountains from our room.

Perfect hostel & amazing staff!
The room was clean, the view was amazing, the shower had hot water, it was a perfect stay. But what has impressed us the most, is the friendly staff who were very polite and helpful. We want to thank once again Ronaldo who has had prepared us two lunch bags with breakfast for our trip to Machu Picchu! This is a hotel we highly recommend!

Good room/value but noise level out of control
The room and bed were good for the price. They prepared a snack for my early departure, held my bag while I was gone during the day, and allowed me to sit in their common area and use wifi while waiting on my train. However, the noise level was a problem. The local school band decided to practice the same song over and over for 2 hour right outside my window and after that was complete the hotel hosted a shamanic ritual with some guy yelling at the top of his lungs and banging a gong for at least another hour. This didn't work out well since I had to be at the Machu Picchu bus stop at 4:30am.

Convenient
Its great for one night although you have to check on cleaningness of sheets. Tom was very helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay as nice as possible. Since its 5 minutes from the train station it was very convenient. Break fast is very basic but served the purpose.

6/10 Good

The best thing about this hotel is its location right in town, less than a five minute walk to the bus up to Machu Picchu. Our room was tidy but we found a huge mold problem in the bathroom. Breakfast was also pretty limited, consisting of coffee/tea and a basket of pastries. The hotel definitely isn't something to write home about but if you're just at Machu Picchu for one or two nights then it does the job.

Good location very close to train station
The hotel is basic but adequate enough if you only plan to stay one or two nights in Aguas Calientes. Shopping and restaurants are all close by and we enjoyed our stay. We woke early to join the bus queue for Machhu Picchu at 0530 which was good timing as the queue builds very quickly. Breakfast was simple but on the early morning for our trip they provided a packed breakfast which was appreciated. We stayed for 2 nights and would recommend the Wachuma based mainly on location.

Cozy, friendly and convenient place to stay
My stay at this cozy bed and breakfast was perfect for my needs. I was there to explore this historic place and needed a safe place to sleep that was close to both train and bus station. Located approximately 3 blocks from train station and across the street from the bus ticket booth and bus station. This place offers all that plus a friendly, helpful staff that will point you in the right direction and comfortable walk around town. Small enough to walk around everywhere and plenty of restaurants, markets for water and other misc items and shops for souveniers Breakfast consisted of while fruit, yogurt, bread, cheese and meat slices and made to order eggs, coffee, juice and tea. If you want a clean cozy and basic place to stay, this is your place.

Machu Picchu Nest
A desk chair for the "desk" would be nice. All staff were great. Fun watch cat - black and white to match the entry sofas and pillows. Fresh whole fruit, yogurt, bread, coffee, juice, and eggs cooked as you like them - all together make a satisfying breakfast before heading out to explore the heritage site. Guides will provide an "interesting" explanation - qualified with "nobody knows" or "quien sabe". (Where are the mosquitos that we were warned about?) You should know that there is a school next door - which you may find entertaining or noisy, depending upon your attitude toward playful youth. Restaurants in AC are pretty good and priced fair. Pizza at Los Andes was very good, and the menu del dia at Las Inkas Pub was quite good - best Trout that we have had in Peru! Don't forget that you're in a tourist trap. The souvenir vendors (who I refer to as Walmart) all have the same junk. Save your money for the fair trade store in Ollanta - where you can buy something a bit more genuine - and the money goes to the artisan.

Exceptional service with good location
Average room with a good location if you plan to take the bus up to Machu Picchu. It's less than 5 mins walk from the bus station. The service by Elias (not sure if it's spelt correctly) was exceptional. He picked me up from the train station and ensured everything throughout my stay was ok.

Señora Rosa provided very good service. The free breakfast included coffee, tea, juice, eggs, bread and jam. Hostal Wachuma is next to a school, which is noticeable in the morning. Some hot water in the shower, but does not last long. Overall, the hostel is a good place to stay and fairly priced.

A localização do estabelecimento é excelente e só. Foi uma decepção chegar no local e ver que tem um restaurante aberto no segundo piso, jogando odor e gordura por todo quarto. Além disso, ficamos esperando meia hora para aparecer alguém para servir o café da manhã. Na hora do banho, não havia água quente e o gerente não dizia que tinha acabado o Gás (incrível). Bom, não recomendamos.
