This was my second 2-night stay at the Amaru Inca. I emailed the hotel before my visit, pointing out that the first room I had been offered on my previous visit had been unsuitable, and this time I was given a perfectly satisfactory ground floor room. (It even had a wardrobe to hang some clothes!) So I would have awarded 9/10 this time (with minus one for an unexciting buffet breakfast). It's a great hotel! But then the internet packed up at lunchtime on the second day. I was flying home the following day and so I needed internet access to get some stuff sorted out. I asked at Reception and was given the unsatisfactory and unhelpful response "Try again in 30 minutes." Hence I twice had to go out to a nearby cafe and purchase food and drink that I didn't really want so that I could use their WiFi. The internet was back on in the Amaru Inca on my return from my second such visit at 8 pm, so the total internet outage must have been 6-8 hours.

The location was excellent in the heart of Cusco's historic district. The hotel is located in the San Blas neighborhood and very walkable to good restaurants and the Plaza de Armas. The complimentary breakfast was good with a selection of fruits, breads, ham, cheese, granola & yogurt. They make to order eggs for you as well. Our room had a great view of the city and was very large and comfortable. The heating goes on from 6pm to 6 am although we didn't need heat in May. I also liked the tables and chairs in the courtyard. It was nice to sit and drink the complimentary teas that are always provided.

Our only complaint would be that we could hear people in the neighboring rooms and courtyard. It's not really a complaint though, more of an observation. The hotel is old, like all the hotels in the area so we expected the level of noise we heard. It didn't keep us awake a night.

The main thing here is the Location. when you're at this elevation (Cusco) , you don't want another flight of steps to climb on. And its very close to the Plaza de Armas. The staff are friendly and attentive. Most of them speak other languages. The hotel setting is nature inspired and cabin/ranch style. Cleanliness is superb. They clean our rooms daily, even though we didn't request it. Wifi is pretty fast. and most of all, they offered 24hr hot drinks e.g Munia tea, Coca Tea, coffee. Self serve.

Well, they only provide heat from 7pm -7am in our room? Im not sure about AC during Summer months. We stayed 2nd week of March 2025, So, it was still a bit chilly during night time. and the bathroom sink has no Hot water, just regular 1 cold water faucet. The breakfast is Med. but staff are so friendly and helpful.

My room at Amaru Inca was gorgeous and looked out on a courtyard. The bed was very comfortable. The staff was extremely helpful--they packed a breakfast for me for my trip to Machu Picchu, helped me with directions--everything I could possibly need. A free breakfast has expansive offerings in a dining room on the second floor with lovely views of the city. The hotel is at the center of the historic area of the city.

The location is incredible! Only a block from the Plaza de Armas and Cusco city center. Completely walkable and in the middle of one of the classic, narrow, cobblestone streets Cusco is famous for. Mere steps away from shopping, restaurants, pharmacies, markets, and the 12-angled stone! They were more than willing to store my luggage while I was trekking the Inca Trail, too, even though I didn't have a reservation with them when I returned! Breakfast was delicious and fresh each morning, with fruit, juice, bread, avocado and eggs made to order by a friendly staff each morning.

The heating is from a radiator, which took time to warm the room at night. This, however, is typical in the area and I learned I was actually lucky to have heat without paying extra for a space heater at all!

The hotel is located in a steep narrow street in the heart of the Cuzco historic city and had great views. Despite its location, it was quiet at night and very comfortable. House keeping was provided - we could have reused our towels instead of having fresh each day though - and the property was very clean. A great breakfast selection was provided each day, plus they would provide a packed breakfast if you were going on an early excursion.

The WiFi was very weak in our room and cut out frequently.

This hotel exceeded all my expectations. It was very well situated close to centre but not in the noisy area. It had a historical quaintness and charm about it. The staff couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. They were available 24 hrs and there to help with early starts . They spoke good English and were always happy. The rooms and general area were kept spotlessly clean with coca tea and coffee available 24 hrs a day. Breakfast was served from early and delicious with lots of fresh variety. There was help available to organize tours and taxis as necessary. Over all I couldn't fault anything and would highly recommend staying here.

Nothing

I had a total stay of 8 nights in this place, and it couldn't have been a better choice. It's a quiet place with comfortable beds to rest, after the long days of touring. The staff has been very helpful, and Epi and Maria in the dining room will welcome you every morning with a smile and delicious food. Facilities are great, and the location is as well. They are happy to keep your baggage if you are doing the Inca trail. I can highly recommend staying here.

I liked everything.

The location was perfect, the room big, the courtyard welcoming and the food good. There was a really nice atmosphere to the place and the staff were friendly. The rooms were set around the courtyard and felt secure and personal. The breakfast was really well stocked with fruit, bread, jams, juice and I ordered an omelette. I didn't use it. but there were tea and coffee making facilities in the courtyard.

There was a table that was used outside the room, which was only annoying for one night as I had an early flight the next morning. This didn't detract from my overall stay.

We stayed at Amaru Inca during our honeymoon trip to Peru, and it was a fantastic experience. The room was spacious with a lovely view overlooking Cusco, and the colonial-style decor added a charming touch to our stay. We also loved the peaceful patio, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The hotel offered tea 24/7, and the breakfast was nice and fresh every morning. A thoughtful gesture we appreciated was when they prepared breakfast to go on the day we were leaving. The staff was very accommodating, and there were no issues with luggage storage, making our travels smooth. The location is another big plus—just a short walk to Plaza de Armas, which was super convenient.

The only downside was that it could get a bit loud at night.
