"Really good if staying the night before Machu Picchu hike and after but other than that I wouldn’t stay here for atomsphere. Comfy beds for before and after a big hike"

Pirwa is in a great location. There are prominent landmarks nearby, so it's hard to get lost. Additionally, there is so much to see nearby. The complimentary breakfast is small but delicious. The staff is very helpful. I had an issue with the charging port on my bed, so the staff moved me to another room, which I really appreciated. They also answered all of my many questions regarding suggestions for money exchanges and more.
The showers are clean, but hot water was not always available. My shower had really nice hot water, but it only lasted for a few minutes. Other guests asked me if there was any hot water available when I returned to the bathrooms later that evening. Additionally, I had issues with the wifi. When it worked, it worked. But it did not always work for me. This isn't a huge issue if you have a data plan or don't need to complete any work during your stay, but it was inconvenient.

Great location. The staff in the restaurant were very very nice and helpful.
The breakfast was just a piece of stale bread. The lobby was so full of smoky incense - it was hard to breathe. The bathroom on the floor I was staying on was occupied every time I tried.
