Niños hotel is one of the most
popular hotels in Cusco. Besides its great value (comfy,
clean, inexpensive), the Dutch owner, Jolanda van den
Berg, puts all profits into the needs of 500 extremely
neglected children from Cusco. The proceeds provide
them with a daily hot meal, a warm shower, medical and
dental assistance, education, and recreation (not to
mention she actually adopted 12 kids).
Located next to Cusco's main square,
Niños hotel occupies a completely renovated colonial
house. The 20 large rooms are simply decorated but comfortable,
and surround a nice, sunny courtyard, where breakfast
(featuring home-made bread) is served.
The huge (and
deserved) success of Niños hotel lead the owner
to open a second facility nearby, on Fiero street (where
the apartments are also located). This being said, it's
advisable to book at Niños hotel well in advance.
