In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Former home of artist Victor Delfin — Guests consistently highlight the original artwork and the unique studio atmosphere that sets the property apart from a standard hotel.
  • Ocean views from many rooms — A number of room types include sea views, balconies or terraces, and the property sits right on the water in Barranco.
  • Convenient Barranco location — The Bridge of Sighs and Pedro de Osma Museum are both a 7-minute walk away, close to restaurants, bars and a market.
  • Attentive, praised service — Staff and management receive frequent compliments for being helpful, caring and unobtrusive, even when language was a barrier.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Older building, moderate comfort rating — The guest house is a converted private home, and while facilities score a perfect 10, the comfort rating is the lowest category at 7.5.
  • Not a traditional hotel experience — Guests note the B&B feel, with large rooms and shared spaces, which may not suit those expecting a conventional hotel layout or services.
  • Area can feel unsafe at night — One review specifically notes that although Barranco is interesting, it is 'not particularly safe at night', a consideration when planning evening outings.

“A lovely hotel filled with the art of Victor Delfin, with a large, clean room and a sitting area. The property was the artist's family home in Barranco, right on the coast.”

9Verified guest

“Our room had a beautiful, quiet ocean view. A hot shower after a long trip was welcome, and the location near restaurants and bars was ideal. The hotel arranged airport taxis for 18 USD or 55 soles, which took the worry out of transport.”

9Verified guest

“An idyllic spot after a busy trip in Cusco, and unusual as it's the home and studio of a famous artist. A wonderful, different stay I'd happily repeat and recommend.”

“A great way to end our weekend – original and classy, in an interesting area close to vibrant street art and a live gallery. Just 1 km from the Pedro de Osma Museum.”
