About

Casa Andina Standard Cusco Catedral

Casa Andina Standard Cusco Catedral sits on Santa Catalina Angosta, a pedestrian street in Cusco's historic core. The building dates back centuries and its lobby preserves an original Inca wall, a quiet piece of history just steps from Plaza de Armas.

Rooms are straightforward but comfortable, with heating and private showers. Guests consistently highlight the hot water, the quiet interior (some rooms lack windows, which keeps noise out), and the service from a team that reviewers mention by name. The breakfast buffet includes fresh fruit, toast, and a marmalade that at least one guest called 'pure magic'.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Step out onto Cusco's most famous square — The hotel is on Santa Catalina Angosta, a short walk from Plaza de Armas. Guests describe the location as 'unbeatable,' with shops, banks, and dozens of restaurants within five minutes.
  • A lobby with a piece of Inca history — An original Inca wall is preserved in the lobby, a detail that stands out to guests and adds a sense of place you don't get in a chain hotel.
  • Consistently praised staff — Multiple reviewers call the team attentive, professional, and eager to help—some even named Alfredo, Karel, and Margot. Luggage storage and tours/ticket assistance are available.
  • Breakfast worth waking up for — The buffet includes fresh fruit, toast, and a marmalade that one guest called 'pure magic.' Dining gets a solid 8.6 from reviewers.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Some rooms have no windows — A guest noted that a lack of windows—which can limit ventilation—makes the interior very quiet, so it's a trade-off between silence and fresh air.
  • Comfort and facilities rated below the rest — Guests rated Comfort at 6.5 and Facilities at 7.1, lower than other categories like Staff (9.3) or Location (8.6). Expect a basic, no-frills stay.
  • No on-site parking — The hotel doesn't list parking as an amenity, and given its central pedestrian location, you'll likely need to walk from a nearby lot or use a taxi.
  • Check-out is early at 10:00 AM — Check-in runs from noon to 11:59 PM, but you'll need to be out by 10 AM—a bit tight if you're on a relaxed Andean schedule.

“Location is unbeatable, a short walk from everything. Papachos nearby is a great spot to relax. Breakfast was hot, delightful, with fruit and toast.”

8.6Verified guest

“The team is attentive, professional, and eager to please. Location is ideal for the Historic Center. The lack of windows (a ventilation trade-off) makes the interior very silent, which helps you sleep. The dining room is pleasant, with a well-prepared daily menu at a comfortable price—a good lunch option.”

8.6Verified guest
