I really enjoyed staying at that hotel. I ended up staying in two different rooms, both rooms were spacious (more like suite style) and unique, the second time around we got a view of the city, good shower pressure in the bathroom, and really kind staff. If I ever go to Cusco again, I will come back to this hotel.

Great location, beautiful property, friendly staff!! Highly recommend.
Loved my stay here! The place is so unique. Great view of the city and the breakfast was great! The staff is great and the ladies for breakfast are really attentive.
I absolutely loved this hotel. My room was very large, comfortable, and clean. The property itself was gorgeous with wonderful views of Cusco. I wish I had stayed for longer than one night!!
Very clean and well maintained property within walking distance of the town square. We were able to easily walk to Saqsaywaman and many other nearby attractions. We booked the Salkantay trek, and the meeting point was conveniently just around the corner. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and breakfast was excellent,they even prepared a breakfast to take with us on the day of our trek. I would definitely stay here again!
Everybody was amazing, super close to all the main places, the staff super friendly and great recommendation for food and places since we have a youtube channel and we were recoding some stuff. Follow us Mommies Viajeras thanks.
Clean, nice hotel. Staff was great and arranged for our taxi to the airport and packed us a breakfast to go.
Great location.
Arrived late and checked out early. Wish we had more time in the hotel.
It was wonderful, staff super friendly, the place cozy, clean and close to everything, specifically Epi and Julia were wonderful in the kitchen ! They had amazing yummy breakfast ready very early in the morning ❤️👌
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.
Amaru Inca is a delightful hotel in the heart of San Blas & a. 5 minute walk from the Plaza de Armas. The property is an old Spanish colonial home, well preserved & once you step in off the busy Calle de San Blas it is quiet & serene. I would highly recommend it for anyone coming and wants to be really close to the historic out of town. We loved our one night stay there and would definitely come back.
