Amaru Colonial

Hotel is very nice and in a pretty good location with good choices for food around and an easy walk into the main square. Ask for a room at the top, as the bottom rooms are a bit of a pain if you have luggage. Many of the staff were good, but our day trip came early and the hotel called our room to let us know but didn't bother for the other room even though they knew we were both going on the trip. Even told us they called the other room. Do not use their day trip service. We booked a Humantay Lake trip through the hotel and they were very poor. Said they'd pick us up at 4:30 (I think) but showed up at 4:20 after calling at 4:10 and demanded we leave straight away as they had people waiting. ON the way back they dumped us a fair way from the hotel despite the trip saying that it was hotel pick up and drop off

The perfect hotel for a visit to Cusco. We stayed for 5 nights in a superior room which had beautiful views. The room and the hotel were incredibly clean and comfortable and the staff couldn’t be more friendly. The breakfast each morning was fresh and offered a good choice; I particularly enjoyed the fresh eggs cooked to my choice each morning. When we had a very early departure one morning a pack-up breakfast was ready and waiting for us. I highly recommend this hotel.

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.
