XO Art house is true to its name; it’s quirky but not compromising on comfort. Staff is so helpful and kind and breakfast is excellent. Overall a great Cusco experience.

Hotel is built around a really nice outdoor patio with a fire pit that's perfect for setting during the day or evening. Rooms were nice if a bit small, restaurant was quite nice - and the staff was excellent. All were exceptionally courteous and helpful, but special thanks go to the concierge, Marco, for his friendly and helpful advice throughout our visit.

great location, awesome public space to hang out. The room was cute and spacious, comfy bed but overall a little uncomfortable at night-- my allergies were triggered (maybe some mold bc an older building?), cold even with heater which only works at night, very dry, shower was a little dated and worn.

This is a really funky property. Stylish, well maintained and great environment. Live music every evening with happy hour in a beautiful courtyard with open fire, lounges and blankets. Our room was gorgeous with a bathtub (which was great at the end of an active day and cold evening) Conveniently located within walking distance to most things.

Mixed review
Good location and a lovely courtyard. Rooms were quite small and very very dark (I guess the fact its an old building with small windows meant that that was unavoidable). Down sides were shower was either scalding or cold and continuously fluctuated meaning it was very hard to have a good one, rooms always felt a little dark/damp just due to the lack of air circulating as so few windows and the service at breakfast/at the front desk was very hit and miss. Reception didnt speak good enough English so when there was an issue with check in it took the guy almost half an hour to check us in and then eventually he let us go to the room but then rang about 4 times to try and explain the issue. Really needed better English. In the breakfast room, one day they would be all over you and the next you couldn't get a glass or juice without chasing someone up. Waited 20 mins just for a coffee one day as pots needed refilling and no-one around.

I liked the quiet of the place, but at the same time having live music show, with great musicians. I also liked the very good kindness of Roxana Quispe, the lady who used to prepare the juices for all passengers at the time of breakfast. What I dislike was the indifference of some members of the personnel exception to make with Mrs Lucy at the Lobby, superkind
