Guest Reviews
- Sofia (10/5): - L'emplacement est super. À 10 minutes de la place centrale et de beaucoup de très bon restaurant.
Ils ont accepté de garder mes affaires pendant mon trek au Macchu Picchu (j'avais réservé une chambre à mon retour aussi).
Les chambres sont propres, il y a tout ce qu'il faut, magnifique vue la nuit sur la ville. Je recommande !
Le personnel est très gentils et professionnel. Hôtel très sécurisé. Rien
- Manuela (10/5): Best value hotel set off the road. The staff were very helpful. - Beautiful quiet location. Our room had views over the city and balcony with chairs and table. Super comfy bed. Perhaps a few more signs to stop people smoking in the garden area.
- Nathalie (10/5): -
- Jonathan (10/5): Excellent hotel option near the center - Just a short walk up the hills in San Blas neighborhood, this is a great option for Cusco. Excellent value. Friendly staff. Free filtered water and coca tea always available in the lobby. Nice little view overlooking the city. Wifi was great. No complaints!
- Hans (10/5): Geweldig en we zouden hier zeker weer komen. - Prachtig vormgegeven Geen commentaar
- Ibtissam (5/5): -
- Carol (10/5): I will come back!! - Pictures don’t do it justice. Room was comfortable, heater available at night. Breakfast was fast, easy and good variety, 2 chefs! Staff friendly, very safe, well located

- Talal (10/5): Perfect rustic spot to stay - Lovely Fresh breakfast. Lovely view!
- Geraldine (8/5): -
- Simon (8/5): Cozy stay in Cusco - The propriety, the intern garden of the hotel Having breakfast included but cannot use it because of the early morning start of the excursions. Breakfast to go had to be paid
- M.M. (7/5): Angenehmer Aufenthalt. Nicht mehr, nicht weniger. - Der Baustil und die Ruhe in der Nacht. Schnell in der Altstadt und gute Infrastruktur in der Nähe zur Unterkunft. Sehr gepflegte Grünanlage im Innenhof des Hotels. Die Lage an einer viel befahrenen, dort teilweise üblichen, Straße. Ausstattung hat schon mal bessere Tage hinter sich. Leider kein Balkon wie erhofft. Frühstück hatte keinerlei Abwechslung.
- Carmel (9/5): -
- Robin (10/5): This is my third time staying here. I love it! - The breakfast is absolutely wonderful and the views from the breakfast area are fabulous. There is a garden that is _so_ lovely and many rooms have their own little sitting area as well as a view.
- Pedro Roque (10/5): - Todo sencillo pero lo necesario
- ferdinando (10/5): Perfect location in front of the local market - Everything but in particular the breakfast was very very nice Absolutely everything in his own place

- Wei (9/5): Good value for money, a bit far from center tho. - The owner has a very pretty garden, and they have stored our luggage for almost two days. Really appreciate them. Breakfast was included but no substitute if we have to leave early, and no light for shower room.
- ALin (9/5): - The staff from Amaru were super nice and friendly and they also helped us with different things.
We were able to do the check in a 2 am in the morning with was super helpful.
The garden is very cool and there is also a nice view over cusco.
The breakfast was delicious and it was not only basic stuff like in most of the places.
- Hong (10/5): It was wonderful! Staff was super friendly and helpful! - The staff were super friendly and very helpful with answering our questions! They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great! The location was great, close to mini markets, restaurants and food market.
- Lisa (7/5): Decent stay. - Room was clean and stone wall a nice touch. Room looked on courtyard so had to keep the curtains shut. Common area couches well worn. Workers there during day.
- 재경(Jaegyung) (8/5): -
- Ishwori (10/5): Peaceful, clean and budget friendly place to stay while in Custco. - The place is serene and well located. It overlooks the city and has the most helpful and gracious staff. It’s within walking distance from the important sites, and good restaurants.
- Nogueira (10/5): -
- Kerstin (7/5): -
- Rohit (8/5): - Good breakfast. Very helpful staff.
Nazarus was very helpful. Coffee / Tea pot in the room needed
- Gavin (8/5): - Great location close to everything you would want to do and see in Cusco. Small but cozy rooms with comfy beds and good showers. Good breakfast and 24 hour tea available. I would request an upstairs bedroom as in the lower rooms you hear everything above you and, being in Cusco, there are always people leaving very early for tours/excursions.
- Kristoffer (10/5): -
- Vincent (8/5): -
- Peg (10/5): This is a beautiful little quaint hotel with everything you need for a memorable stay in Cusco. - This hotel has a very beautiful garden area with a view out into the city. It is very charming! We also had a great view from our room. The staff were just great here and very accommodating. Meliza and Rita in the breakfast room put out a wonderful breakfast for us everyday. The beds were comfortable and the shower was very good! The location for this hotel was perfect for us to take our tours and walk about Cusco for all the sightseeing there. We found some great restaurants all within walking distance too. I would definitely stay here again!

- Walker (10/5): Lovely stay in Cusco - Lovely place to stay in a gorgeous location. The breakfast was delicious and the rooms were spacious with lovely views over the courtyard and Cusco. N/A
- Paula (10/5): -
- Silvana (10/5): - El hotel es hermoso, pero las personas con alguna limitación en movilidad deben considerar que el acceso a habitaciones y al lugar de desayuno es siempre a través de muchas escaleras. El hotel está en desnivel, eso es muy hermoso pero hay que considerar la gran cantidad de escaleras.
- Martina (7/5): -
- Frederic (10/5): Practique et agréable - Gentillesse personnel
Emplacement central et pratique Tout était bien
- Amber (10/5): Beautiful hotel - Beautiful hotel in an ideal location. Staff were kind and helpful. We had a perfect stay at the hotel.
- Géraldine (8/5): - La localisation de l’hôtel est top. Le personnel est très agréable. La vue depuis la chambre est incroyable. Le petit déjeuner. Très peu de choix, et qualité à revoir.
Tout est très fonctionnel, cependant pas à notre goût
- Maria (10/5): - Excellent location, 5' walk from the main square, but also quiet. Very friendly staff, clean rooms, good breakfast, could not ask for better value for the money
- R (8/5): Lovely hotel - The courtyard was lovely. The view was great. The hotel always had filtered water and coca tea available in the lobby. There was always warm water and the room had heat for the cold nights. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was good for us because it was a quiet area but the old city was still close enough to walk to. The breakfast itself was very basic.
- Meissner (9/5): We would stay here again! - Great location and super helpful staff. The rooms were very nice and the shower excellent. Good breakfast too! N/a
- Jutta (9/5): -
- Zlata (7/5): it's a 3 star hotel not 5. bed and bedding need to be improved. Veiew and breakfast is good! - location, view and coffe with breakfast! The most important thing in the room is the bed and bedding. The bed was very hard, so we had to use a blanket to make it more comfortable. Also, the bedding itself felt very cheaply made. This was not good.
- Sinziana (10/5): - Very clean, good location, comfortable and nicely decorated. We appreciated the heating. Stuff quite helpful Poor room insulation, we could hear the neighbours using the bathroom..
- Robyn (9/5): - Friendly, welcoming staff. Cute setting.
- haon (10/5): -
- Kerstin (8/5): Mycket bra - Läget, personalen

- Armani (10/5): -
- Ben (9/5): -
- Helen (10/5): Very comfortable and pleasant staff - Beautiful place staff very helpful . Nothing place was perfect
- BenKni21 (10/5): Nice spot in Cusco - We stayed in Amaru Colonial both before and after our trek to Machu Picchu.
Positives:
- Excellent room for the price.
- Hotel courtyard is gorgeous.
- Breakfast was good, limited options but done well. Eggs cooked to order. Only open until 0930 was slightly annoying though.
- Location is good, but not perfect (in hilly San Blas, about 10 mins from main square).
- Stored luggage for free whilst we were trekking.
Improvements:
- Odd to take room key for them to clean room.
- The whole being buzzed in and buzzed out process felt strange.
- Shower took a while to heat up.
- Loredana (10/5): - Perfect place!
- Loredana (10/5): - Everything was very good!
- Jenny (10/5): Convenient, clean, staff excellent and nothing was too much for them - Close to Cuzco square and many other good streets. Clean and quiet. Breakfast was great and staff were excellent! Nothing all great!
- Anastasia (10/5): Highly recommended !! - Μείναμε στο Amaru colonial για 8 μέρες και το δωμάτιο καθαριζόταν κάθε μέρα .το δωμάτιο ήταν είχε μπαλκόνι με θέα το Κουσκο.η κεντρική πλατεία βρίσκεται 10 λεπτά με τα πόδια .
Το κρεβάτι ήταν πολύ άνετο και υπήρχε θέρμανση μετά της 7 το απόγευμα .
Το πρωινό ήταν πολύ νόστιμο και είχε ποικιλία. Όλο το ξενοδοχείο ήταν προσεγμένο και καθαρό καθώς και το προσωπικό ήταν ευγενικό και πρόθυμο . Όλα ήταν εξαιρετικά !
- Jane (9/5): Excellent base hotel - Large rooms, very clean, fabulous view, great staff, lovely breakfast, safe and quiet, walkable to everywhere Nothing
- Diego Penning (10/5): Loved it! - Great breakfast. Kind staff. Beautiful location. N/A
- Anna (8/5): Great location- clean rooms- could be more welcoming - Location was great
The bed was very comfortable
The room and bathroom were very clean
Our view was terrific
The presence of coffee and coca tea were super
The access (1 time only) to oxygen was needed and welcome The front desk staff were typically unfriendly, in that they did not smile and did not feel welcoming, nor did they show us that there was purified water available, etc...which would have been very helpful.
There was one woman who helped us with oxygen who was lovely.
The front desk staff also seemed very surprised and not particularly welcoming about keeping pur luggage on the last day- although they did so .
We suggest communicating with the staff through the booking.com messaging perhaps- for clarity.
The gardener was charming and the young staff around the hotel were kind and helpful and friendly.
The breakfast was fairly basic, but the young woman who made eggs and managed the kitchen was very sweet and kind and helpful.
The wifi was very spotty in our room.
We think that if the front desk staff had been gracious, helpful and welcoming our experience would have been markedly different.
- Kirstie (10/5): Comfortable, friendly and accommodating - We returned in the evening after a 4 day Inca Trail trek and our bags were already in our room and the lovely front desk concierge ordered a takeaway pizza for us. The room was comfortable and the shower was hot, and after 4 days sleeping in a tent, it was an absolute luxury!
The pancakes at breakfast are delicious! Along with all the fruits and eggs made to order.
The staff are so friendly and accommodating, I would highly recommend and if I go back to Cusco I would stay again! Nothing

Bonne situation proche du centre.
Jolie vue de l'hôtel. Rien
- Valderrey (10/5): -
- Yurcik (9/5): - Filtered water and tea available 24/7 helped significantly with the altitude. Generous breakfast time starting at 5:30 am. Very helpful staff for all requests at all times (both early and late). Charming colonial garden. Made my time in Cusco a breeze.
- Esperanza Andrea (10/5): Grata experiencia - La amabilidad y disposición de todo el personal. Me hicieron sentir en casa.
- Cloe (8/5): -
- SNietgen (10/5): Incredible views & great location - We had a wonderful stay at Amaru Colonial. We spent eight nights there and felt well cared for throughout our visit. The room was spotless, the location was excellent, just a short walk from Plaza de Armas, and the breakfast, while simple, was good. The view from our room was absolutely incredible.
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cusco. It’s worth noting that there is a fairly steep hill between the plaza and the hotel, which is something to consider when booking. Though this wasn’t an issue for us.
- Nomad12852488660 (10/5): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Charming, beautiful stay in the heart of Cusco - We had a wonderful experience at Amaru Colonial. The property is absolutely beautiful, full of character, and has a charming colonial feel that really adds to the experience of staying in Cusco.
The rooms and common areas were nicely kept and very clean, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind, always available to answer questions and assist with anything we needed.
The location was also excellent—close to everything, yet quiet enough to relax after a full day of exploring.
Overall, this was a fantastic stay. Charming, comfortable, and well located. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.
- Emma (9/5): - Magnifiques bâtiments, endroit calme à quelques minutes à pieds du centre historique seulement. Une belle vue portant très loin sur les montagnes et la ville en contrebas. Chambre très fonctionnelle, avec tout ce qu'il faut. Personnel adorable et attentif ! Je recommande sans hésiter.

- Kimm (9/5): I will return to this sweet hotel - Nice, clean hotel in a great location … appreciated the heat at night And the breakfast was delicious and abundant My room was under the stairs down a few floors
- Ivan (10/5): Perfecto para su precio - Hotel modesto con muy buena relación calidad precio. Personal muy amable. Jardín muy bonito y habitaciones espaciosas. Está muy cerca de Plaza de Armas, pero en una zona alta de la ciudad. Los primeros días con la altura cuesta un poco aclimatarse al paseo.
- Haejean (7/5): -
- remy (10/5): Un îlot de serenité au cœur du centre historique - Le sourire à l’accueil la serviabilité le bar à thés gracieusement offert la qualité et diversité des petits déjeuners et le chauffage à partir de 7 heures N’a
- Roxane (10/5): Excellent - C’était exceptionnel ! La chambre, le personnel, le petit déjeuner, l’emplacement Rien
- Dickey (10/5): Wonderful stay - Delicious breakfast, great location, staff went above and beyond and allowed me to store my luggage during the time I did the Inca Trail, and my luggage was already in my room when I checked back in. Wonderful stay here.

- Montealegre (10/5): -
- Katharine (8/5): -
- Marina (7/5): - The breakfast was good with variety, and the hotel area is overall very nice and peaceful. The room view. My room was under the staircase and therefore quite dark. This might not be a problem for many people. However, if you prefer to have daylight, check that the room is on the upper level.
