Cronache di Cusco

Cusco, the ancient Incan capital, was founded in 1180 AD and became the centre of the Inca Empire. The city's architecture reflects its rich history, with a mix of Incan stonework, Spanish colonial buildings, and modern structures. Cusco's cultural identity is deeply rooted in its indigenous and Spanish heritage, with a strong emphasis on traditional textiles, music, and cuisine. The city's narrow cobblestone streets and vibrant plazas still exude the energy of its rich past. Today, Cusco is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a major tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to La Case Escondida, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Consider requesting a room on the higher floors (4th or above) to minimize potential street noise from the city center. Given the hotel's location in Cusco, you can expect some noise from the streets below, but higher floors tend to be quieter.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms near the service entrance or lift, as these areas might experience more foot traffic and noise, especially during peak hours.

🪟

Best views

Unfortunately, without specific information on the hotel's orientation and room layouts, it's difficult to provide detailed view options. However, rooms on the higher floors might offer views of the surrounding city or nearby rooftops.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 3 and above are likely to be quieter due to their distance from the ground floor and potential street noise.

🔊 Noise notes

Be prepared for some street noise in the mornings and afternoons, especially since the hotel is located in the city center. The noise level should be manageable, but it's worth considering earplugs or a room on a higher floor.

Insider tips

The hotel's staff is known for being friendly and helpful. If you have a specific request or need assistance, be sure to ask them during check-in or at the front desk.

How to request your preferred room:

🚌
Colectivo (shared minibus) from airport 1-2 soles (US$0.30-0.60)

Airport exit (main road) → Plaza de Armas (2 blocks from Hostal La Union)

20 min · Every 5-10 minutes · 6am – 8pm (daylight only)

Av. Grau (colectivo stop) → Ollantaytambo (for train to Machu Picchu)

90 min · Every 20 minutes until 5pm · 6am – 5pm

Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ) → Hostal La Union (Cusco city centre)
