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.

I have stayed at Amaru Colonial on each of my 4 visits to Cusco. I have brought a group of 10 people each time and they all love it. This hotel is quaint, serene, full of pretty flowers and a colonial design. Most of the rooms overlook the garden. The showers are great and there is hot water. Their staff are very helpful. The breakfast includes fruit, yogurt, pastries, buns, cheese, meat, eggs cooked your way and of course coffee, tea and juice. The only con about this place is Amaru is located on a hill that is on a narrow street, but once you are at the bottom of the hill there are many options for restaurants and shops.

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

I have stayed at Amaru Colonial a few times in the past. I love this beautiful hotel. It has lovely gardens and the rooms have lots of character. There are many choices for breakfast. The staff are amazing and willing to help out how ever they can. It is close to some really great restaurants. The only challenge is walking down the hill. As a Canadian, we are definitely not used to the narrow roads and watching to make sure your purse strap doesn't get caught on a car mirror as the cars drive past. It just takes a little getting used to. But saying that, I keep going back! Also discovered they have a sister hotel in Urubamba called Amaru Valle. We stayed there also and loved it. It is the same style hotel (but not on a hill )

Riquelmy, New York

Disliked: Amenities
Pros - clean boutique hotel with friendly staff. WiFi was pretty decent and the consistent hot water (something you shouldn’t take for granted in Peru) was a major plus. Cons - Cusco sits 11, 152 feet above sea level. One has to get acclimated to the altitude (for which they do provide coca tea), but one shouldn’t have to struggle with staying warm in a hotel. “HEAT” is only provided from 7 pm to 7 am (which, to be fair, is standard for Cusco) but even when the heat is on, it’s insufficient. You have to remain under heavy quilts if you don’t wanna freeze out. There is no mention of heat limits when I booked this on Expedia. Therefore, imagine the level of shock when I was told upon check in. Also, the surrounding streets are very narrow, with room for only 1 person or car at a time. You have to consistently stop to let vehicles go by and it gets annoying quick. Having said that, there are many dining options within a short distance. Overall, the experience was decent. Would I stay here again? Not unless real, sufficient heat was provided round the clock. To me, that’s a deal breaker.
