The Presidente Hotel, a two storey low rise building with tiled roofing painted in yellow and terracotta, is tucked between the mountain and the roaring Valcanota River. This offers splendid views from the balconies and excellent sleeping at night. The staff is helpful and friendly and they keep the place immaculately clean. This is not the ultimate in luxury or in price. If you came all this way to enjoy a splendid hotel this is not the place for you. If you came to see Machu Picchu, enjoy the hot springs and perhaps some of the night life Aquas Calientes has to offer, this is a great place to spend the night. Run by the same owners as Hostel Continental and Hostel Machu Picchu. The Presidente hotel is recommended in Lonely Planet Guide where they too mention that it is very clean, the staff helpful, friendly and they add that it is often full.
