Amaru Colonial

Great location. Very pretty, with a courtyard full of flowers. Room’s were comfortable and very clean.

Absolutely beautiful hotel, very conveniently located. Our room was lovely and very accommodating. Staff was excellent and friendly, and the hotel breakfast was great with lots of options. I would definitely stay here again if back in Cusco

I spent 10 days at the Amaru Colonial. The property sits a bit above the busiest part of San Blas. But it is convenient to stroll further up or down to the Centro. My room was super comfortable. You can request rooms with panoramic views for an upcharge. The courtyard gardens and common spaces are very comfortable. The place is spotless. Most importantly the staff is first class. Brisayda at the front desk, always friendly and helpful, Brandon who assists arrivals and does housekeeping, Rita and Margarita run the breakfast buffet that opens at 5:30. Always with smiles on their faces, they keep the busy buffet replenished and always full. Amaru Colonial is an outstanding travelers’ hotel with a wonderful staff, plenty of quiet and comfort amidst the bustle of tourists in Cuzco and its San Blas barrio.

Booked with Amaru Inca but we were moved to their sister hotel, Amaru Colonial. Lovely warm rooms and hot showers. The courtyard was beautiful and the view was amazing. 1 of our 2 rooms had a balcony overlooking the mountain 😍 Friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast is served from 5:30am which is great if you have an early pick up. There are 2 lovely women serving breakfast who cook eggs to order. There are also (the best we had on our whole holiday) lovely crusty rolls, cereal, ham, cheese, various fruits, yogurt & cake. It's the perfect location - loved being in the middle of the small streets. ☹️The other guests were too noisy in the courtyard at 5:30am before going out for the day - I had to tell them to be quiet. Perhaps there should be a sign in the room stating quiet hours. Rooms are a bit too small.

Stayed at Amaru Colonial for 3 night, loved the location. Conveniently next to the San Blas Market, where you can find great affordable cheap dining options & local treats & souvenirs . The rooms are spacious & bathrooms are nice & big. The breakfast each morning was fresh & delicious with the kitchen staff making eggs just the way you like them. & the 2nd floor views of the city are worth going up for breakfast The staff was polite & helpful. The courtyard is a peaceful sanctuary blooming with flowers . I will definitely be back.

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.

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.
