Great location in historic Cusco

Nice hotel in great location, just one block from famous Inca stone wall and 12-sided stone. Breakfast buffet was very nice, with eggs cooked to order. Coca tea and hot water were available 24hrs in the courtyard. Patience with the hot water - takes a while to reach the room, but then nice and hot with no problems.

Amaru Inca is a delightful hotel in the heart of San Blas & a. 5 minute walk from the Plaza de Armas. The property is an old Spanish colonial home, well preserved & once you step in off the busy Calle de San Blas it is quiet & serene. I would highly recommend it for anyone coming and wants to be really close to the historic out of town. We loved our one night stay there and would definitely come back.
