We had booked the Hotel Intiquilla nearby but on arriving there were taken here. Unfortunately we don't speak much Spanish, but no attempt at an explanation as to why was given in Spanish or English.  Needless to say,  on first impressions of the Intiquilla we thought perhaps this was a lucky escape. Who knows, but the Intillaqta was not good. 

We were given our key to our room on the 3rd floor.  Making our way past several empty rooms (the doors to all were left open) up a dark staircase, past building work and some very very dodgy wiring we found our room. Decor was typical of the region, it was clean and the shower was hot.

Windows consisted of three single sheets of glass which slid one in front of the other with space to stick your fingers inbetween. Light from the corridor could also be seen between the door frame and the wall. Needless to say,  any kind of insulation was non existant.

If the doors slamming throughout the hotel at 5am despite an obvious lack of guests isn't enough to wake you up then the 7.15 bell from the adjoining school,  which is promptly followed by Los Lobos' La Bamba and then a rousing rendition of the Peruvian national anthem blasted out on loud speakers will be!

As for customer service,  this was pretty much non-existant. No friendly 'hello,' 'good day,' etc, or any other kind of acknowledgement in Spanish or English. 

We did get breakfast on our first morning,  once they noticed we were there and turned the lights on for us, but despite banging on our door as if there was some kind of emergency at 10pm that night to ask what time we wanted breakfast on our 2nd morning,  when we went down the following morning the place was in darkness,  there was no one around and no amount of ringing the bell succeeded in us getting any service so we had to give up.

We collected our stuff from our room, left our key on the reception desk,  unlocked the door to let ourselves out and left - so much for formally checking out. 

As for the loo roll, we ran out. It was not replaced so we asked for some at reception (in English and in broken Spanish). When we got back hours later it still had not been replaced.  In the end we searched the other vacant rooms until we found some.  Presumably others had experienced the same problem as we had to try a few rooms before we hit gold! 

In summary we'd recommend you only stay here if you're really desperate. 

Bring your own toilet paper & ear plugs

Please avoid this hostel if you value your rest and sleep! I recently checked into this hostel. The soundproofing from the windows was nonexistent and the noise was continuous from the street outside throughout the night. On top of this, the person at the reception had the TV rather loud in the "lobby". The furniture in the room looked like it had been bought from a junkyard. The bathroom smelt damp and uninviting. Unfortunately I hadn't booked this hostel, it was done by a third party- who I shall be having strong words with. 

Nightmare hostel

We booked this place through booking.com. And we are very weary now for booking accommodation through this website. We will never book through booking.com again for any more hotels. Plus they double the price of your room .My advice is do your homework before you book a place in Aguas Calientes. 
First impression of the hostel is that it is decent, room's are comfortable but they are cold and damp. 
We were put onto the 3rd floor, it was nice and quiet, decent tv & the beds are very comfortable. The wifi is rubbish. Within an hour or two we were starting to feel cold. We went for some food in the area and it was actually warmer outside than inside. 
Later on that night we went to have a hot shower. Turned on the tap and the water barely came out of the shower. So we asked to move rooms to the 2nd floor. Straight away it was warmer. But this room was also damp. We washed some lights socks and after a 3 day stay they were still not dry. 
We were making our way to get the bus fir machu picchu and came downstairs only to find the main door locked, no staff around to let us out. We got lucky and found a set of keys to let ourselves out the main door. 
We didnt have breakfast here either. We spoke with another ther couple from Belgium and they were going out to MP the day before, they requested breakfast at 4:30, the owner / manager did not come down until 4:55. They were not happy. 
I happend to take a trip up to the 4th floor only to discover as to we it is always damp and cold.. Its still a construction site on the upper floors, cement bags, steel, open windows,  wind just howling intot he building. I took pictures which i will add on here. 

We all expect something to go wrong and this place could be a gem of a place to stay but they have no heating and the construction on top is not good either. The place is bad. I will add doh there was zero construction going on while here. 
We were booked in for 4 nights but checked after 3 and paid them 360 soles for our stay. If i was asked to pay the full booking.com price of $160 for the 4 nights i wouldn't have paid it. I also paid in cash so the hostel did not have my credit card details. 

Do not use booking.com for hotels is peru.

Mould & Cold.

The rooms was nice and they had good cabel with several englishspeaking channels. The showers were never warm for longer then a couple minutes, sometimes if you were lucky. The girl in the reception checked at it but just said that we had to let it run for 10min, after 20min it was still cold. Second day it was still cold.. We paid 20$/night p/p for a double room and we didnt get breakfast even when it said so on their webpage and bookers.com. One of the girls in the reception helped out as much as she could, the other one just avoided our questions with a stupied "no tiendo" answer.and even when we used google translate and wrote if she could help us call our travelagencyguide, witch they even have a arangment with she said she would come up with the phone in 2h, we had haved a tour with them 2 days ago. After 2h I went down asking the girl if she made the call, but she just did a stupied look on here face in front of the other girl and looked at me and had me explain all again why we needed contact with the agency. But this time she just refered me to talk to a other tourguide and couldnt make a call for me to their partner... sigh...

Nice rooms, bad service

Spent 2 nights in a single rm with it's own bathroom.  Once the sun went down you wanted to be in bed, snuggled under the warm alpaca blankets.  Spent a warm toasty night, but when up, it was nippy, It was May in America, but weather was like November in Peru. Did I mention no heat in any of the places I stayed in Peru. So looking forward to a hot shower, turned the water on, to first warm up the very small bathroom, only to realize then stepping into water spray, it was COLD.  So very quickly showered, dressed and went to the included breakfast, to learn that my travel companion also had a cold shower.  Did report this frustration at the desk, many apologizes were given and fixed. Shower next morning ......BETTER.   I also ate alpaca at one of my meals, but hot oatmeal was consumed the morning of the cold shower.
