The Los Ninos Hotel doesn’t look like much from the outside (we stayed in the original hotel – Ninos 1). A small door that ducks down off the uphill street is opened by staff only after you have pressed the buzzer. Once you step down off the street into the hotel the entire world changes. You go from a dusty, dirty, noisy street to the tranquil and beautiful entrance of the courtyard. The office is just to your right. The staff we dealt with were always incredibly friendly and helpful.

We had two rooms at Los Ninos. We had a room for four guys (three single beds and a double) and a room for two girls (two singles). Each of the rooms had very clean, well done, private bathrooms. The beds were comfortable. The rooms were very well done (sparse decorations, but still nice). There was also an electric heater in the room and ample closet space. Each room also had a small table and matching chairs. The showers were always hot and had great water pressure. Towels were provided for each person with the rooms.

Los Ninos’ breakfasts were fantastic. The basic breakfast, which is included with your room, was fresh bread, jam, tea, and orange juice. For an extra dollar or two you could get a larger breakfast from their menu. We had fresh fruit, crepes, yogurt, and many other wonderful items. Being able to sit in the courtyard and enjoy breakfast was a fantastic treat.

Los Ninos also has a room they will store your luggage for you while you're off overnight on tours. If I recall correctly this was either for free or a very nominal fee

There really were only two semi-negative things about Los Ninos. The street noise outside our window was a little much. This, as it turns out, had a lot to do with the festival of the cross. The other downside was that it was a little bit of a walk to the Plaza des Armas. About 5-8 minutes.
All in all this was by far the best hotel we stayed at in Peru. You will not go wrong staying at Los Ninos.
