    Good size room. Clean bathroom. Breakfast fried egg and 2 rolls and jam. Kitchen fine and useable but not spotless.. We liked it. High ceiling and old style furniture. Good WiFi in reception and lounge area. Access to shops and walkable to magic water circuit.

    Our room had two doors, which were next to the kitchen and dining room meaning it was really noisy from the start of breakfast time and didn't give us much privacy. Our room didn't have a window, just a shutter above the door. There are more rooms further back which would probably have been better and quieter to stay in. Our room was in a WiFi dead zone - it would connect and then cut out frequently. Although the dog is lovely, he barks a lot at night.

    The reception, living room and dining room were decorated really nicely with antiques. The hosts were very friendly and maintained a clean space. The garden was nice and their dog and cat were very friendly.

    We stayed almost 2.weeks at Samanai Wasi and we loved it. Very comfortable,. spacious rooms. Comfortable beds. Lovely garden to chill in, almost every day we saw some hummingbirds there.. Caring, friendly and attentive host, we felt like staying with a family. Great location, nice safe neighborhood with plenty good local restaurant with low prices around. Also,.we.loved their dog - Doggy - and kitty - Tommy. Plus, they cleaned the rooms every single day - it was a real treat to come back dsily to a freshly cleaned, nicely smelling room. Definitely recommended!

    The family that runs the place is very helpful and kind! The breakfast is fine, hot water, nice outdoor garden area as well. The lady at Samanai Wasi helped me change my flight on the phone as my flight to Cusco was cancelled. They have a sweet cat named Tommy and a nice dog named Doggy.

    The toilet was a bit small and not enough for six people, but still for a short stay in the city is ok.

    The place is cozy with a nice common room and garden. The room is ok and very warm, as well as the water which was hot (not usual in Perù). The owners are great, they welcomed me at late night and we had a chance to talk during breakfast, that was good as well. I felt like home, Isabel is super nice, she gave me many recommendation and advices, would be lost without her!
