Sol Natura Hotel

Sol Natura is situated halfway up the hill from the railway station to the city square. It has a very friendly and helpful staff. Their gardens are outstanding and make great spots for pictures. The archeological site is very close. Since we were there in the low season, the breakfast was made to order by arrangement according to our schedule on the night before.

Excellent Service Wonderful Staff Very helpfu!

This hotel is probably the best choice for accommodation when checking out the Sacred Valley and The Machu Picchu. Its location is excellent - it sits between the main square and the train station for Machu Picchu, each is about 5-7 min walk in opposite directions. It was very convenient and safe. My room was overlooking a beautiful garden with mountains in the background. It was clean, quiet, with a clean comfortable bed, had heat and hot water and everything I needed for my stay. The lobby area had a nice tea/coffee area with always-hot water in the dispenser. Breakfast was the most varied in all my travels in Peru. I stayed there for 4 nights and still don't think I tried everything they had to offer. From hot food prepared by a lovely lady in the kitchen to fresh fruit, nuts, avocado, jams and cereals. All with non-ending stream of hot tea and fresh squeezed juices. Separate thanks to an awesome manager that runs the hotel. Very smart, professional, creative, worldly, and welcoming host. Even a gifted piano player! I especially appreciated him sharing his view on life in Peru in general. He makes guests' stays truly special. Thanks so much!

My husband and I stayed here as a base for the journey to Machu Picchu. The hotel has a lovely garden - full of Chris**as decorations at this time of year - and is in a great location; 5 minutes to the train station, 5 minutes to the central square. Our room was spacious, and the staff was very helpful and accommodating, which made our stay even nicer. If you decide to start your MP journey in Ollantaytambo, we highly recommend - and the breakfast starts at 6 am, which is very convenient for those with an early start!

Rather than get up very early to catch a train from Cusco up to Machu Picchu we stayed in this charming hotel walking distance to the train station at Ollantaytambo. The added bonus is that it gives you a chance to acclimatize to altitude as it is lower than Cusco. The main square with many restaurants is again walking distance as are the impressive ruins. The hotel has beautiful gardens and we were lucky enough to have the weather to enjoy them. There were plenty of birds including lovely hummingbirds. Our room was large, quiet and warm with two radiators. My only criticism would be that the bathroom was chilly as it had single glazing but didn’t have a radiator.

I had a wonderful experience at Sol Natura Hotel. Stayed here for 5 days. The hotel is located in a beautiful and convenient area, close to the train station, the main plaza, and the archaeological sites. The staff was very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist me with anything I needed. The best experience was a (paid) private tour with the owner through the various places in the sacred valley. It was the best guided tour I had in years. The owner is a former teacher and knows way more about the region, history and country than any of the tour guides I've met. Plus, with him there was no rushing through... The room was clean, comfortable, and with a nice view of the mountains. The breakfast was delicious and varied, with fresh fruits, breads, eggs, and local specialties. The hotel also has a beautiful garden with many plants and flowers, where I enjoyed relaxing and reading after a hiking tour. According to the owner the garden has more than 100 types of plants and flowers, including orchids, roses, lilies and many more which also attracts hummingbirds. In short it’s a hidden oasis. I’d highly recommend staying here a few days instead of Cusco or Aguas Calientes (if you want to visit Machu Picchu). It’s a perfect starting point to explore Ollantaytambo and the Sacred Valley.
