We really like the Casa Andina Koricancha hotel - the location is very good, only 5-10 minutes walk (depending on how well you are acclimatized to the height of Cusco ;-) to the Plaza de Armas, and seemed safe to us even in the evening.
We had a ground-level room facing into an inner courtyard, thus the room was very quiet. The decor was very colorful ("Andean style"), but it was very tasty and not kitschy, we liked it. The size of the room was quite spacious, but it lacked a wardrobe so there was not really a place to put your clothes... The heater in the room was very welcome since it got cold at night. The bathroom with shower was perfectly ok. The bed was large and comfortable. One minor issue about the room was that it was not very light, even during daytime when we had the lights (which were in fact rather dim) switched on.
The whole style of the hotel is very nice, decorations seem chosen with thought and placed with care, and the two courtyards are pretty and very relaxing for soaking up a bit warmth from the Andean sun.
Breakfast was great, the buffet has lots of cold and warm food to offer, and we appreciated the free mate tea which is available all day.
The staff was friendly and helpful, too.
