Das Eigentum — Ava Spot
Ava Spot is a functional 3-star hotel in Urubamba's newer commercial strip, a block from the main plaza. The lobby feels like a mid-range airport lounge: tiled floors, a reception desk with two desks, and a small seating area with a TV. It suits budget-conscious trekkers and Sacred Valley day-trippers who need clean beds, reliable hot water, and a location close to colectivos and restaurants.
Chroniken von Urubamba
Urubamba was a pre-Inca settlement later absorbed into the Inca Empire, serving as an agricultural hub in the Sacred Valley. The Spanish founded the colonial town in the 16th century, building a grid around the plaza with a church and municipal buildings. Its architecture mixes whitewashed colonial walls with modern concrete blocks, reflecting 20th-century growth as a transport and tourist centre. Today, Urubamba is the valley's commercial and transport hub, less picturesque than Ollantaytambo or Pisac but more practical for accessing local markets and bus routes.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Ava Spot, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third floor, facing the rear courtyard rather than the street. The top floor reduces footfall noise from stairs and corridors, and the courtyard side avoids traffic noise from the main road through Urubamba.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms, especially those facing the street. Street-facing rooms pick up traffic noise from Urubamba’s main road, and ground-floor rooms can be noisy from the lobby and nearby service areas.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors facing the rear offer views of the Urubamba valley hillsides and agricultural fields, not the street. Street-facing rooms just see the road and nearby buildings along the main strip.
Quietest floors
Second and third floors are the quietest here, as the ground floor hosts reception and public areas. The third floor is best because fewer guests walk past.
🔊 Noise notes
Urubamba is a busy transport hub for the Sacred Valley. Expect mototaxi horns, truck rumble, and early market traffic on the main road. The hotel’s location on the main drag means consistent noise until late evening.
Insider tips
1. If you drive, ask at check-in if they have off-street parking – many 3-star hotels here lack dedicated lots, so street parking is norm but can be tight. 2. For quieter sleep, request a third-floor room at booking; also bring earplugs – even courtyard rooms get some street echo from the stone construction.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
