Amaru Colonial

It was a nice quaint place to stay for a few days. The rooms were nice and they had hot water. Breakfast was included as well. There are alot of stairs if your room is on the bottom floor. There was a nice little lobby to meet our friends before we went out.

Our stay at Amaru Colonial Stay was a mixed experience, with both delightful and challenging aspects. The central courtyard is a standout feature, with an incredibly attractive garden that provides a peaceful and picturesque setting for relaxation. Our hostess, Brisas, was a true gem. She was friendly, very helpful, and went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Unfortunately, our interactions with another host, a man whose name we didn’t catch, were less pleasant. He was not as friendly and didn’t make us feel as welcome, which was disappointing given the otherwise warm atmosphere of the place. The breakfast staff, on the other hand, were fantastic. They were attentive and made sure our eggs were cooked to order each morning, adding a personal touch that we greatly appreciated. Another highlight was the availability of hot mint tea 24/7. This little convenience made our stay much more enjoyable, especially after a long day of exploring. However, one significant downside was the hotel’s location. Situated uphill, it required quite a bit of effort to reach, which can be a challenge, especially if you are prone to altitude sickness. The climb exacerbated our symptoms, making it a less than ideal location for those sensitive to high altitudes. In summary, Amaru Colonial Stay offers a charming environment with a beautiful garden and excellent breakfast service. Brisas’ hospitality adds a lovely personal touch, although the less welcoming demeanor of another host detracted from the experience. Be prepared for the uphill climb, which can be tough, particularly if you’re affected by altitude sickness.

I was a little nervous about staying at Amaru Colonial because it was such a bargain, I thought it would be kind of run-down. But NO! It's GREAT. The grounds are beautiful and so are the views. Our room was super clean and comfortable. Breakfast is awesome. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Our bookings were reserved by Peru For Less. Nice place with decors and gardens. We had 2 rooms for 3pax. The breakfast and coffee was good. Staff were very approachable. We stored luggages with them due to multiple overnight trips. Wifi was good.

This is a great hotel for travelers on a budget. All hotel staff was incredibly attentive and helpful. The hotel, itself, is beautiful and has a gorgeous courtyard. Breakfast in the morning is delicious. The hotel also offers coca tea, filtered water, and other teas in the lobby for travelers. Amaru Colonial is located approximately 4 blocks from the main square in Cusco - a location that cannot be beat. I would highly recommend Amaru Colonial to anyone coming to Cusco.

Excellent hotel! Super friendly staff, very helpful- especially our favourites, Brisa, Susele and Persy! They made us feel so welcome! The beds were very comfy, there was heat in the rooms and hot water for showers! The complimentary breakfast was excellent as well- substantial and filling for your days out trekking or sightseeing And free teas as well… coca, muna and regular teas supplied at any hour! 20 minute walk to town- I would definitely stay here again- we same back here three times between our tours and treks. It began to feel like home……
