Main attraction of this hotel is its location. Machu Picchu Sanctuary lodge is the only hotel around the ruins. All other hotels are located in Aguas Calientes.

Location - good or bad!

While the prime attraction of this hotel is it's location, lot of visitors complain that there is no nightlife here. Once the last tourist bus is gone you are detached from the rest of the world. And really there is nothing to do after ruins is closed at the evening. The people who are living at colorful Aguas Calientes enjoy the a lot during the evening and night, which you may miss, if you stay at this hotel.
