El Mapi ***

3 Star

Formally known as the Machu Picchu Inn, Inkaterra’s El Mapi has undergone more than just a change in name and ownership. The new proprietors have completely renovated the property to give it a shiny, modern looking appearance that is evident from the first approach right through to the smart, stylish and contemporary interior, that uses natural and recycled materials throughout the interior and exterior design.

Each of the neatly furnished and very comfortable rooms has an amazing panoramic view of the towering tree covered hills that surround, and all are complete with a flat screen TV of 32 inches; the bathrooms have a hair dryer, various amenities, bathrobes, safe, telephone. There are 48 rooms in total; 40 of these are superior while the remaining 8 are classified as superior deluxe which are larger, have extra seating area with a sofa and a complimentary bar. All rooms are available with twin, double or king sized beds.

Amongst other facilities, the hotel also has an outdoor hot water pool where guests are able to relax amidst the plants in the garden. Also onsite is a gift shop with various bits and peices and quite handily a computing area where guests can check emails.

An advantage of the property is its convenient location just a few minutes’ walk from the train station “Puente Ruinas” from where trains arrive from Cusco and buses leave for Machu Picchu.
