Clean and big rooms with a beautiful garden and view. Good breakfast and the people working there were very helpful. We got stuck on Machu Pichu because of issues with the train and were late for our check out. But they didn't mind and had simply been worried for us. While we threw our stuff into our bags they helped us arrange for taxis and made sure we got to the airport on time for our flight.

Amaru Colonial was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. It is a beautiful hotel with stunning views of Cusco from the patio. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The area felt safe and is a short walk to the city center. Breakfast each day was healthy and tasty. The staff went above and beyond with transporting and storing our luggage for a few days while we went to Machu Picchu at their sister hotel which we stayed at when we returned to Cusco.

I have stayed at Amaru Colonial on each of my 4 visits to Cusco. I have brought a group of 10 people each time and they all love it. This hotel is quaint, serene, full of pretty flowers and a colonial design. Most of the rooms overlook the garden. The showers are great and there is hot water. Their staff are very helpful. The breakfast includes fruit, yogurt, pastries, buns, cheese, meat, eggs cooked your way and of course coffee, tea and juice. The only con about this place is Amaru is located on a hill that is on a narrow street, but once you are at the bottom of the hill there are many options for restaurants and shops.

Convenient location and clean relaxing hotel

Beautiful interior with lovely garden and lots of outdoor seating. All employees were friendly and professional. only downsides were 1) nowhere to securely store luggage after we checked out and 2) lots of noise starting around 4 am from staff cleaning and preparing for morning - only a problem because the windows are very old and sound travelled easily to wake us up
