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.

Charming environment with a beautiful garden and excellent breakfast service.

This hotel was quaint and was just what I needed for my week stay is Cusco. Close enough to the Plaza de Armas to see the sights and enjoy the delicious food in Cusco, but far enough away you don’t have horns blaring at all hours. Also has a beautiful courtyard that you can enjoy while reading a book or taking a call. 

The staff was kind and hospitable to me. 
After being in hostels for the majority of my month travelling, it was refreshing to have my own bed, a toilet seat and hot water. Also free breakfast starting early is a plus when you’re going out to start the day. 

Only flaw I had, was the pillows could be softer, but I’ve definitely had worse!

Quaint stay in Cusco :)

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.

Lovely place and a bargain tood

Stayed 3 nights with friends and greatly enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfy, the hotel looked super cool, they had free coca tea (10/10 recommend trying), and the breakfast was also available to-go if you had an early morning day trip. Shoutout to Gilbert from room service who was incredibly friendly, helpful, and cheerful during my first day in Cusco while I was suffering from altitude sickness and stuck in my room.

Keep in mind that almost all hotels in Cusco only enable the heaters for a window of time: in our case, this was 7pm to 7am which was perfectly cozy for the night, and we never had any issue during the day since we were either outside or the weather was warm. The hotel has lots of hot water for showering which was a great relief after a long day outside (this not something that is guaranteed throughout Cusco hotels). 

Perfect Boutique Hotel in Cusco

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.

A beautiful stay in a quaint hotel!

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.

Nice little property nested amongst the steep narrow lanes

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……

Excellent hotel! Would stay here again for sure!!!

We were so pleased with this as a find - the greeting was warm. the rooms were comfortable and clean, the setting was beautiful and breakfast was great. It is really convenient for everywhere you might want to be. I have already recommended it to friends.

Wonderfully cosy hotel

I stayed at Amaru Colonial with my friend. It was nice hotel more than I thought. I like the view so much, it brought us real Cusco travel feeling. All stuffs were kind, and polite. The manager offered us transportation, and we could feel secure. Thank you for nice days at Cusco!

Nice hotel

Just great. Clean, good location, comfy beds, great breakfast, they can keep your luggage if you leave kuzco for a trip elsewhere, they have a laundry service. Plus, the people working there are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
