Casa Patacalle is a small bed and breakfast on a quiet lane in Ollantaytambo, a three-minute walk from the Plaza de Armas and about ten minutes from the archaeological site. Rooms are private suites with mountain views, some with balconies, and the house offers a free continental breakfast, free Wi-Fi, a garden, a game room, bike hire and a communal kitchen. Guests praise the hosts, the breakfasts and the views of the ruins. It is a modest property that suits budget-conscious travellers who value a friendly welcome over frills.
The location is on the quiet edge of the old town. The plaza is a short walk, restaurants are three to five minutes away and the fortress is about ten minutes on foot. The train station is a longer fifteen-minute walk, so for early trains you may prefer to arrange a taxi, which is cheap and easy. Cusco airport is about two hours by road.
Rooms are private suites with mountain views, some with balconies or patios, a private bathroom, a hair dryer and a fridge. A free continental breakfast, free bottled water and free Wi-Fi are included. Guests describe warm, helpful hosts and generous breakfasts, while others mention small rooms and bathrooms, weak hot water and a worn, dated feel. Recent guest reviews are limited, so confirm details with the property when you book.
What to know
There is no parking, and a couple of guests found the walk to the plaza longer than expected. From November the rainy season begins and runs to March, with cool, damp nights, so ask about heating and carry a rain jacket. For the price this is a pleasant, quiet base, and a good way to save money for the Machu Picchu ticket and the train.
