Stayed at Amaru Colonial for 3 night, loved the location. Conveniently next to the San Blas Market, where you can find great affordable cheap dining options & local treats & souvenirs . The rooms are spacious & bathrooms are nice & big. The breakfast each morning was fresh & delicious with the kitchen staff making eggs just the way you like them. & the 2nd floor views of the city are worth going up for breakfast The staff was polite & helpful. The courtyard is a peaceful sanctuary blooming with flowers . I will definitely be back.

Clean and big rooms with a beautiful garden and view. Good breakfast and the people working there were very helpful. We got stuck on Machu Pichu because of issues with the train and were late for our check out. But they didn't mind and had simply been worried for us. While we threw our stuff into our bags they helped us arrange for taxis and made sure we got to the airport on time for our flight.

Amaru Colonial was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. It is a beautiful hotel with stunning views of Cusco from the patio. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The area felt safe and is a short walk to the city center. Breakfast each day was healthy and tasty. The staff went above and beyond with transporting and storing our luggage for a few days while we went to Machu Picchu at their sister hotel which we stayed at when we returned to Cusco.

Convenient location and clean relaxing hotel

Beautiful interior with lovely garden and lots of outdoor seating. All employees were friendly and professional. only downsides were 1) nowhere to securely store luggage after we checked out and 2) lots of noise starting around 4 am from staff cleaning and preparing for morning - only a problem because the windows are very old and sound travelled easily to wake us up
