For the vast majority of travelers, Inca Manco Capac International Airport (JUL) is the primary and most convenient gateway to Puno. Although it serves the neighboring city of Juliaca rather than Puno itself, its proximity makes it the essential choice for efficient access to Lake Titicaca. Travelers can utilize affordable shared shuttles or private taxis for a direct transfer. In contrast, Alfredo Rodriguez Ballon International Airport (AQP) is located in the nearby city of Arequipa and is significantly farther from Puno. It serves as a major regional hub for international and domestic traffic, but the journey to Puno requires a long-distance bus ride or a costly private transfer crossing the high-altitude Altiplano. AQP should generally be considered only if you are already planning to visit Arequipa or if flight availability at JUL is limited. For the best experience, prioritize flights into JUL and book your ground transfer in advance to ensure a smooth arrival in Puno.

The hotel’s breakfast and dinner are ok, but because of the hotel’s location, it takes about 10-15 minutes by car to go to the city. 10 sol.

Located in central Puno near the old cathedral square so whatever tours you book there’s zero chance they don’t know where to pick u up. The little frustration (as in a lot of Latin American old towns) is that not every street in the old town is drivable. So say you booked a trip there’s a good chance you will walk two three blocks to jump on a bus but your tour guide will sort it out
When people go Puno u usually either stay in the city or further out to be on a floating island. In my case I chose convenience over experience
The hotel is generally clean. Breakfast is “alright” not pampered for choice but sufficient variety still
Otherwise pretty no frills hotel. By the way they don’t give out free water here apart from your daily allocation of two bottles just buy from outside
I wasn’t entirely sure the price is worth it I’ll never know I paid usd160 for two nights. Could have gone cheaper I suppose because it’s no more than a three star hotel experience wise eitherFromUS$61

１０ Sol by taxi from the bus terminal. The location was good and comfortable. I was very kind to the front desk and taught me the laundry nearby. The bus arrived early in the morning, but I arrived at the hotel around ５:30, but the key was closed early in the morning, but I was relieved to have it open immediately and put it inside. I was able to have breakfast the next morning ahead of time from ６ in the morning. I think it is convenient for early morning departures on tours. The surrounding area is close to the center and has good flights. At night, the surrounding area becomes creepy and quiet, so it is recommended to go back to the hotel early and spend a relaxing time. Moreover, there was a bathtub so I could relax. Breakfast was very delicious with fruit and I had a lot from the morning!FromUS$35

Overall good, good location, hygienic, thoughtful service, good hot water, rich breakfast. It's just that the window faces the street, so it can be a bit noisy sometimes. Hot water is available at the front desk. When you feel thirsty after playing, you can drink hot water immediately.FromUS$52

The hotel has a good location near Witch Square. Since I arrived at the hotel late at night, I could immediately visit the witch-themed shops next door after checking in. There are several pizza shops and a Chaplin-themed hamburger joint next to the hotel. The hotel facilities are average, but the service is quite good. Because I had to catch a flight the next morning, the staff arranged a taxi for me to go to the airport in advance. The hotel is in a relatively noisy area in the city center, so when I picked up my room, the staff asked if I wanted to stay on the side closer to the street or the back, further away. After 1 a.m., the hotel became less noisy, and the loud music from the sidewalk started to disappear. However, I was only staying one night and for only a few hours, so I didn't find it a big problem.FromUS$54

This time I went to Lake Takata, I stayed at this hotel in Puno. The overall stay experience was full and the whole process was particularly satisfactory!
Let me talk about the location first, the advantage is very prominent, the hotel and Puno Arms Square are on a street, very close, the Takahashi cruise ship terminal is very close, all can be reached on foot, whether it is to visit the city or take a boat tour of the lake is particularly convenient. Next to the hotel is a supermarket and restaurant, which is convenient for eating and shopping.
The experience of the room is also colorful, the room size is moderate, the whole house is cleaned very meticulously, clean and refreshing; the bed is soft and comfortable, and it is very relieved to sleep. Puno has a large temperature difference between day and night, the room insulation effect is very good, and the house is very warm; The hot water supply in the bath is stable, the water pressure is sufficient, and the washing experience is great.
What surprised me the most was the hotel buffet breakfast. This trip to Peru was definitely the first breakfast, perfect for the taste of the Oriental. Other hotels can hardly see hot stir-fried dishes for breakfast. Two Chinese hot stir-fried dishes are directly provided here, a mix of seasonal vegetables, green vegetables, carrots, zucchini, green peppers are fried together, fresh and refreshing; the other is Peruvian special beef stir-fried, beef with tomato and onion cooking, full of flavor. In addition, there are white porridge, boiled eggs, warm stomach. Fruits are rich in variety, watermelon, cantaloupe, papaya are all available, and three or four freshly squeezed juices are provided at the same time, and there are many choices. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo of the breakfast at that time. It was a pity that I stayed here for two nights and only enjoyed such a rich breakfast for two days. At breakfast, I often saw management personnel inspecting and filling in time, and the management was very standardized. This is not seen in other hotels, very good 👍
The hotel staff was warm and thoughtful. I planned to walk to the pier. The staff took the initiative to enter the pier location into my mobile phone map to clearly plan the travel route. There was no need to worry about getting lost.
Excellent location, clean and comfortable rooms, stable and sufficient hot water, warm rooms, intimate and welcoming service, plus ceiling-level breakfast in Peru, this hotel has almost no shortcomings. If I come back to visit Lake Takata next time, I will definitely choose here again, highly recommended!FromUS$66

Lovely decadent hotel, very unique and with beautiful decor inside, and only half a block away from the main square. It has heaters in the rooms, unlike some of the other hotels in Puno. Breakfast is basic but delicious. For the price this hotel is a bargain, I highly recommend it for one or two nights in Puno and it’s definitely worth to stay here overnight and take a morning walk at the lake. FromUS$53

Não condiz com as outras Casa Andina que conheci no Peru; até a
CASA ANDINA STANDARD MACHU PICCHU é melhor; principalmente em relação ao café da manhã.
Não gostamos também do fato da gerente do hotel tomar café da manhã com os filhos/família no salão. No último dia em que ficamos no hotel, havia somente uma funcionária (tadinha, super querida) pra dar conta de tudo; um abuso...FromUS$146

Seriously evaluate without exaggeration or criticism
1. I booked a mountain view king-size bed room on Ctrip, but was given a twin bed room. After unsuccessful communication, I contacted Ctrip, and Ctrip said that the hotel received a twin bed package, and Ctrip made up the difference
2. The hotel facilities are not complete, and there is not even toilet paper, only thin toilet paper rolls. The overall facilities were not taken much, and the second picture will be taken for reference
3. Cleaning is not done every day, and water will only be provided if you ask them
4. There was renovation during the stay, and drilling was crazy during the lunch break
5. The hotel is close to Lake Titicaca, and the scenery is amazing
6. The service is also OK, but the infrastructure is really not goodFromUS$184
