부동산 — Lugar de ratas
Lugar de ratas is a modest three-star in Cusco’s historic centre, a block from the Plaza de Armas. The lobby feels like a functional, slightly tired version of a colonial courtyard: stone archways, a few armchairs, and a receptionist who hands you a coca tea on arrival. It’s clean, cheap, and no-frills – fine for a budget traveller who’ll be out exploring all day. Don’t expect charm, but do expect a warm room and a secure door.
Cusco 연대기
Cusco was the capital of the Inca Empire, founded in the 12th century by Manco Cápac. The Spanish conquered it in 1533, layering baroque churches and plazas over Inca stone foundations, creating a distinctive hybrid architecture visible today. After independence, the city declined economically until the early 20th century, when rail access and then mass tourism revived it. Now UNESCO-listed, Cusco thrives on visitors using it as a base for Machu Picchu, while retaining a strong Quechua identity in its markets and festivals.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Lugar de ratas, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above the 3rd floor) to minimize potential street noise from Las Retamas. Given the hotel's 3-star rating, the floors and lift data suggest a relatively basic setup. However, a higher floor position will help reduce the likelihood of noise from the street. Additionally, rooms on the east or west side may receive more sunlight and have a better view of the surrounding area.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the first or second floor may be more prone to street noise from Las Retamas, as they are closer to the ground. Also, rooms near the lift may experience more noise due to the lift's location and potential traffic.
Best views
Rooms on the east or west side on a higher floor will have a view of the surrounding area, possibly including the city of Cusco.
Quietest floors
3rd floor and above
🔊 Noise notes
Las Retamas is a relatively busy street, so rooms on lower floors may experience more noise from passing traffic. The hotel's location in the city means that there may be some ambient noise from nearby activities, but a higher floor position should help mitigate this.
Insider tips
Arrive early to secure a parking spot, as the hotel's parking capacity may be limited. Request a room with a balcony or a view to make the most of your stay in Cusco.
- 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

💡 Boards outside the terminal on Av. La Cultura. Flag one down. They're cramped with luggage, fine with a small backpack. Drop at 'Plaza' – then walk up Calle Suecia.
