Enjoyed everything they had to offer. Breakfast looked great, and the morning coffee was freshly made, which it wasn't the other place I stayed.

Great property in a great location. Staff was attentive and able to assist with anything needed - including taxis, laundry service and nearby recommendations. No shortage of hot water which was needed after long days exploring and chilly nights.

An amazing location in central Cusco, near the main square, and walking distance to the best restaurants. The property itself is really charming with its courtyards. We loved it and would recommend it! Also, loved having readily available teas.

Super nice hotel, great courtyard and hot tea and coffee all the time. The staff was super nice, and they even provided early breakfast to go for one of our tour days that we had planned. I would stay here again.

The service was great and it was very easy to book! Plus they were very accommodating to me as a Machu Picchu hiker - they kept my bags for me for free during the time I was hiking.

Amaru Inca is one of the best places I have stayed in while traveling abroad. The staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel arranged for my family and I to be picked up from the airport for only 5 U.S. dollars, they helped arrange laundry service, and offer complimentary breakfast and tea. The location for this place is ideal, it is situated within walking distance to the Plaza de Armas and San Pedro market which I highly recommend for shopping. Maria and Epi were incredible and treated us like family.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. I accidently booked for only one night and didn't realize until we checked in. The staff were able to call their sister hotel, stage a room and transport our bags.
Love the option of group rooms! Central San Blas! Close to many attractions, excellent restaurants and shopping

I stayed at six other places in Cusco, ranging from a hostel to a 4 star hotel, and Amaru Inca was by far the best. It was hard to leave. The decor was gorgeous, with ornate wooden furniture and beautiful art everywhere. The outdoor courtyard gardens were a perfect place for a cup of tea and to watch the sunset. There was 24 hour staff who were super helpful and mostly spoke English. It felt safe and relaxing. Will be my first choice next time I'm in Cusco.

Loved Amaru Unca. Charming. Fabuloys lication in Cuzco's historic center. Provide teas (inc coca tea)on demand. to help acclimate. Serve a wonderful breakfast in a lively room with wonderful view of city. Very accommodating of needs of trekkers (we did 4 day trek on Inca Trail to Machu Picchu), storing luggage for our return. Very clean. Beautiful ambiance around interior courtyard. Historic house.

It is at the heart of Plaza del Armas where you can pretty much walk to most of the sites to see. And it's reasonably cheap so i can understand the simple breakfast, the leaky shower, the lack of amenities like toothbrush, and such.
But, i will NOT put up with the lack of enough heat. They automatically turn on the heater at night but it is not cranked up enough so you're still cold day AND night. The shower has hot water but it does not last long. You have to sleep with your whole body under the sheets to survive the night.
I was freezing my entire stay there and when i asked for help, the guy just said sorry... our heater is automatic.
So no. If you're not used to the cold, i do not recommend this place at all.

The hotel has a housekeepeer very efficient when ask for assistance. A lady at the front desk was ok but need it to be more friendly. The street location near hotel was under construction and was very incovinience at the time to bring lagguages to the hotel and has a narrow space to walk.The door room should be more secure due to the fact that was a old lock was difficult to close it. The water stay stuck and at the time of the second person takinga shower the hot water was gone. In my opinion in general was good but the cost of the room was high for the value of the room and also have a nice interior garden
