Hotel Agustos Urubamba is a straightforward, well-located hotel in the town of Urubamba. It offers comfortable rooms, a restaurant and friendly service at a price that suits travellers who prefer spending on experiences rather than a resort. It is a sensible base for exploring the middle of the valley, with Pisac, Chinchero, Moray and Ollantaytambo all within an easy drive.
Being in town matters. Restaurants, bakeries, a market and a plaza are a short walk away, so you can eat, shop and wander without a taxi. The hotel suits independent travellers who like to organise their own days, using colectivos and taxis to reach the surrounding sights. Cusco airport is roughly an hour and three quarters away by road, and the Ollantaytambo station is about half an hour.
Rooms are simple and practical, and the staff can help arrange tours, transfers and picnics. Breakfast is usually available, though you should confirm what your rate includes. If you want a pool or a spa, a resort-style property outside town may suit better, but for value and convenience this is a solid pick. It is also a good choice for a first night or two while you adjust to the altitude.
What to know
Noise can reach rooms facing the street, so ask for a quiet room if you are a light sleeper. Nights are cold from May to September, so check heating, and the rainy season from November to March brings showers and green hills. The hotel lists current facilities.
Planning tips
Use Urubamba as a hub and take colectivos or taxis out to Pisac, Chinchero and Ollantaytambo on separate days. The market and bakeries are great for packing a picnic lunch, and a few easy walks along the river or through the farmland make good first-day activities while you adjust to the altitude.
