Pleasant checkin and nice cozy room. I would recommend this hotel! Great customer service!!

Excellent stay. Super friendly staff. Highly recommend.

They should have warned us previous to us waking up with no electricity or water on our last day. It was a known whole town event

A friend and I spent 3 nights at the Sauce Hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, everything was clean, and the breakfasts were wonderful. They even put a bag breakfast together for us on the day we left very early for Machu Picchu. The location was great, with an easy walk to everything including the train station. Filtered water was available in the dining area 24 hours a day. I would definitely stay again.

Stayed 3 nights in the beautiful room with view to amazing archeological sites. Very helpful and warm staff.

Great location and nice staff

The staff were very kind and helpful

Immediately felt at home the second I walked in. Staff was beyond friendly and easy to communicate with. Incredibly helpful, even carried my big, heavy suitcase up the stairs for me. They upgraded my room to one with a better view which was awesome. Held my bags for me after check out and just overall a very positive experience. The breakfast was exactly what I needed. Would stay again!

No complaints!

Nice room, excellent location, great breakfast & great value.....absolutely no complaints

Great breakfasts. Helpful staff. Basically right on the main square of town. Ollantaytambo is beautiful, and the ruins are easily walkable from this location. They packed an early breakfast for us for our day trip to Machu Picchu. They arranged a taxi back to Cusco for us when we left after our three day stay. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Great little hotel.

Staff was very helpful. Hotel rooms do not have heat. Staff provided a space heater at no cost which helped heat the room.

Superb plentiful buffet breakfast with diced fresh fruits; local cereals; various yogurts; nuts; home-made butter and jams; local organic honey; various cheeses and ham; rolls; freshly squeezed fruit juices; coffee and teas; freshly made eggs to order. Free filtered water available 24/7. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent WiFi throughout. Great hot shower. Comfortable bed. Great views of the Inca mountain stronghold. Superb position between station and main square. Right next to mini markets and restaurants. Wonderful friendly staff.

Lot of character. Loved the lounge/fireplace area near reception. Good breakfast selection including eggs/pancakes made to order. Bed comfortable. Great location - 2 minute walk to town square and ruins. Only small downside was poor water pressure in shower. Staff (especially Amalia) were lovely.

Staff were friendly and helpful. The place has a lot of character. Good breakfast - nice mix of juice, cereal, yoghurt, meat/cheese, eggs/pancakes to order. My only complaint is that shower water pressure isn’t very good.

The location of the hotel was great. Had a room with a window that framed the ruin. There is a lot to see in the town of Ollantaytambo and more to see in the surrounding areas. The staff, especially Anais, was very helpful. The lobby and breakfast area were warm and colorful and Anais has great taste in music. The bed was perfect.

The location is pretty good, about 10 minutes walking to the railway station and about 50 meters to the town center. The owner and the staff were very friendly. My son and I really enjoyed our stay in this nice hostal. Thanks!

We stayed at this hostal one night upon our return from Machu Picchu and before going to Cusco. The hostal is in an excellent location which is within a block from the Inca ruins and market place. Restaurants are very close. The person checking us in spoke very little English so we were not able to ask about a taxi to take us to Cusco the next day. We were able to arrange a taxi online so it was no problem. The next morning a different person was there who spoke more English and was more than willing to help with whatever we needed. All in all I would highly recommend staying at this hostal. It is an excellent value and is in a great location.

Great town, breakfast was excellent, the location is in walking distance to the square, train station, bus station, restaurants, ruins etc.. The view of the ruin from one of our rooms was stunning! Peru is a great destination!

Homey, clean, great location!

This place deserves a 5/5! Very helpful staff, simple but tasty breakfast, charming and clean

Great location and friendly service

This is a small inn, as all of the hotels are in Ollantaytambo. Eggs to order in the morning along with bread, assorted cheeses and meets, fresh fruits, assorted cereals and yogurt. Small but enjoyable. The location can't be beat. Steps away from the ruins and train station. The front desk staff was very helpful, while she doesn't speak much English she spoke enough to communicate well. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the bathrooms nice, clean and large showers with hot water. The only drawback was no elevator so prepare to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs (not a big deal for us). This was was second trip to Ollantaytambo and second stay at Hotel Sauce. We stayed in room 15 which had an excellent view of the ruins.

While 24-hour hot water is promised, at best the shower water was tepid.748

Simple but convenient and comfortable

Great friendly staff. It helps if you speak some Spanish. Rooms are spacious and have style. Very casual, simple, and friendly atmosphere. Free breakfast includes eggs cooked to order. 10 minutes of easy walk to train station.

Nice hotel in a good, central location. Rather dim lighting in the rooms. We, and other guests, ran out of hot water one morning, but no problems the other 2 days. Some street noise from honking cars, but it's a sleepy town and things quieted down pretty early in the evening. Really close to restaurants, convenience stores, the main plaza, and the archaeological site (actually many archaeological sites). 10-15 minute easy, safe walk to the train station. Really nice breakfast.

A catch!

This was the most expensive hotel that I stayed during my trip to Peru, more expensive then the 4 stars hotels in Cuzco. When I booked it through here, the description told that it had air conditioning and TV. $105 a night!!! When I complained to them they said wasn't their fault and told me they couldn't do nothing and that I should complain to hotel.com. They could give me a discount cause I made payment at the checkout, but no. The breakfast table wasn't set properly, we had to asked for hot milk, bowls and glasses.

Overpriced hotel, nice hotels nearby are cheaper.

This hotel is way overpriced. Many other fine hotels at 40-50% cheaper within a few blocks. The hotel staff does not speak English and was not helpful. We were trapped in Ollaytantambo for days due to massive strikes, all roads closed. The staff was not helpful, didn't seem to know what was going on. Other hotels made arrangements for their guests.

Great location in Ollantaytambo. What a great town.

Great stay! Location, owner and staff, comfort all top notch!

Lovely hotel in a quaint town

Ollantaytambo is a beautiful little town. From the moment we arrived, Erika at the front desk was wonderfully accommodating. When she realized that it was my birthday from my passport, she made a card, and the whole staff sign it, and made a little cupcake. Talk about service! The breakfast is pretty extensive, and just the right thing before setting out for the day. The hotel was clean, and Erika gave us some good restaurant recommendations. We went to Apu Veronica twice in three days and had the alpaca steak each time. It was delicious. A couple of days before arriving, we called the hotel to arrange an airport pickup from Cusco. That worked out well, and it felt just a little bit safer than calling a cab off the street. It cost $35-$40 (I forget exactly how much.)

the perfect place to stay

we had a wonderful stay. it is hard to judge exactly what what things will be like when booking anything on line. the owner and staff were kind and very helpful. having seen the diffrent cities this is hands down the best location for visiting the area.....and Hostel Sauce can't be beat for a place to stay. i highly recommend and we will stay again when we return.

A wonderful hotel in Ollantaytambo

What a wonderful place to stay! The location was superb, only a block from the main square and two blocks to the ruins themselves. Erica, the manager, was fantastic and so helpful with suggestions. The room was great, very comfortable beds and with a perfect view of the ruins while relaxing in bed. Coffe was ready at 5:30 which was nice since I get up early. The hot breakfast was excellent. I would highly recommend the Hostal Sauce to anyone visiting the area.

Convenient and grrat host

Great host, there are no excelent hotels in Ollantaytambo, but this is in the top 3. No TV in bedroom, free breakfast

Convenient hotel with friendly staff

The host was super friendly and very eager to provide us breakfast out of normal hours because we were leaving early with a train. The location is great and the city very quaint.

Small hotel with caring owner, centrally located

Pleasant centrally placed hotel in this key town for visiting Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. Family run with very helpful owner.

Great hotel; Inca ruins out your window

I had a very positive experience at Hotel Sauce in Ollantaytambo. The front desk staff was extremely helpful, giving helpful suggestions about local hikes, good restaurants, etc.

Good hotel for the price good location in middle of town.

Excellent, great value for money

Excellent hotel for the money you pay. Feels like a ski chalet. Location is excellent right by the main plaza, 5min walk to the ruins and less 2-3min taxi journey to the train station (or 15-20min walk). The rooms are warm with hot water and comfy beds. We had a room (twin bed, 115) with a view of the Ollanta ruins. The receptionist girl was very helpful, speaks fluent English and helped us organise a private taxi tour around the Sacred Valley.

Great little B and B in Ollantaytambo

Charming, family-owned bed and breakfast in Ollantaytambo. Rustic (most of the places in this small town are) but exceptionally clean. We traveled with a 18-month toddler, and the owners not only found us a crib, but decked it out with cute, clean bedding. In the mornings they offered simple but fresh breakfasts. They also packaged our breakfasts the day of our early rise to get to Macchu Picchu. Proximity to train station meant that we could easily walk there. It is also steps away from the main town square and all the restaurants/bars. We have stayed in many five-star hotels over the years, but would not blink at recommending Hostal Sauce.

A gem of hospitality by a fabulous owner!

From the moment you enter and owner Maria Luisa greets you with utmost hospitality and expertise on what to do and how, you feel so welcomed. Add a touch of color with the most creative décor of wool Peruvian hats from wall to wall. Perfectly located between the train station and the plaza. Impeccably clean rooms and well trained staff! A gem!

Great staff, nice rooms, a little noisy

Our rooms were clean and had a great view. The staff was extremely welcoming and very helpful - e.g. in arranging further travel to Cuzco. Partiers outside our window in the middle of the night awoke us, however. Not the hotel's fault - and the same could be true all over town.

Just a bit sad

Nothing wrong within it but I was the only guest which should tell you something. Nice view up to the ruins. Breakfast OK. A bit overpriced.

Great place to stay before your trek to Macchu Picchu. Macarena had some excellent recommendations for restaurants. Room was impeccable with fantastic view of the ruins. A

Otima localizacao, péssimo chuveiro.

O hotel é muito charmoso e super bem localizado, mas o chuveiro é muito ruim. Os 2 dias que estivemos hospedados la tomamos banho frio. Reclamamos na recepcao , mas o recepcionista falou que nao tinha o que fazer, que a agua era aquecida por energia solar e que quando muitas pessoas tomavam banho ao mesmo tempo (o que eu nao acho que era o caso) isso acontecia.

Confortável ,simples e bem localizado. Um pouco barulhento. Pessoal muito simpático e prestativo.

Bien situada con servicios básicos, bien para visitar el valle sagrado.

Experiencia mágica!!!!

Una experiencia fantástica..el hotel hermoso..la amabilidad del personal ...la comodidad y calidez de todos los ambientes insuperable...un hotel impecable..todo de primera..super bien ubicado..nuestra habitacion tenia una vista privilegiada a las ruinas de Ollantaytambo...el desayuno muy completo y delicioso...full contacto con la naturaleza y nos encantó sentir por las noches el suave sonido del agua q pasa por los canales construidos desde la época de los incas...fué algo mágico...en verdad 100% recomendable...volveremos sin duda alguna...gracias hotel Sauce boutique!!!!😊😊😊

Agradável e bem localizado

O hostal está muito bem localizado, pertinho de restaurantes e do centrinho, e a uma pequena caminhada da estação de trem (mas o legal mesmo é ir de mototáxi, barato e divertido). A decoração da pequena área social é charmosa e aconchegante, e o atendimento acolhedor. A dona do hostel é bem atenciosa, inclusive nos entregou uma relação de sugestões de locais para se comer e visitar em Ollanta, e também em Lima, onde iríamos depois. O café é simples porém bem saboroso, com itens frescos, sucos preparados na hora, coalhada caseira, entre outros. Tivemos que sair bem cedo para pegar nosso vôo, e prepararam o café-da-manhã antes do horário normal, para nos atender. O quarto em que ficamos, número 12, é espaçoso, tinha uma grande cama, bom edredom, vista para as ruínas e estava muito limpo, porém a iluminação é fraca, não havia tomadas próximas aos criado-mudos e o cofre não funcionava. O banheiro era bom, com uma ducha razoável, mas a intensidade da água variava bastante durante o banho, uma hora forte, outra bem fraca. Deixam chocolatinhos de boas-vindas no quarto, achei simpático. Meus pais ficaram no quarto 13, que não era tão espaçoso e tinha cama menor, então é interessante perguntar o tamanho do quarto e da cama quando for reservar. O hostal não possui elevador, então é preciso subir as malas pela escada. Na chegada, tivemos ajuda, mas na hora de ir embora, como era muito cedo, tivemos que descer as malas sozinhos. O Wi-Fi funciona muito bem.

Ótima localização

Muito atenciosos no check in e nos permitiram ficar um pouco mais tb, checkout tardio. Café da manhã simples mas muito bom. Com ovos mexidos feitos na hora. Única coisa a reclamar foi a água do banho q estava mais fria do q quente qdo meu marido tomou banho após eu ter tomado. Ótima localização.

Buenísimo

El hostal es muy bonito y su localización es ideal. Veíamos las ruinas de Ollantaytambo desde la cama. El desayuno fue muy rico. El servicio de primera. Me encantaría regresar.

Bon hôtel, bien situé

L'hôtel est très bien situé dans le centre, non loin de l'entrée des sites archéologiques et à 10min du train. Le personnel est accueillant. On avait oublié nos billets pour le train et le machu Picchu, la dame nous les a imprimer. Très bon petit déjeuner
