Guest Reviews
Location
Velvet Residence boasts a location that offers easy access to major transportation hubs and essential amenities in Cusco. It's conveniently situated close to the Wanchaq train station, making trips to explore Machu Picchu straightforward. Visitors will find themselves near supermarkets, restaurants, and the vibrant Wanchaq Market, which adds to the accessibility for daily needs and local flavor.

While the neighborhood itself may not be picturesque, guests appreciate its proximity to several key areas. The historic city center is about a 20 to 30-minute walk away, providing guests with manageable access to the cultural heart of Cusco, including the Plaza de Armas. Despite being somewhat distant from the main square, the affordability of transportation options like Uber facilitates easy navigation to various attractions and central spots.

The area is noted to be relatively quiet, offering a peaceful retreat after a day of exploration. Additionally, it’s situated conveniently for those arriving from the airport. Velvet Residence combines good pricing with practical proximity to travel essentials, making it a suitable choice for those prioritizing ease of movement around Cusco.

Breakfast
Velvet Residence offers a breakfast experience that seems to vary widely, with several guests praising aspects such as freshly prepared eggs and real fruit juice. The minimalist approach to breakfast leaves some guests wanting more, as the offerings of bread and jam can feel basic, and options remain largely the same each day. While some guests find the breakfast flavorful with good coffee and omelettes, others suggest improvements in variety and quantity, considering it insufficient for the price paid.

Timing is a notable concern, with breakfast hours from 6:30 to 8:00 AM often conflicting with early tour departures, prompting suggestions for extending the schedule. Additionally, the small space where breakfast is served can be less accommodating. Despite these limitations, there is appreciation for the quality of the breakfast service when it is available, particularly when delicious elements are included. The potential for improvement in both timing and variety could help Velvet Residence enhance its breakfast offerings, ensuring wider satisfaction among guests.

The hotel's facilities are well-regarded, with the presence of an elevator adding to guest convenience. The staff at Velvet Residence are praised for their excellent service, noted for their friendliness and diligence.
