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.

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!

Quaint hotel within walking distance of everything. We stayed three days in Cusco before our trek and were able to walk to all the sights from here. It is nestled on a lovely side street and has a beautiful courtyard, spacious rooms, and a delicious breakfast. The hotel was very clean, and the staff was constantly cleaning, even washing and brushing the courtyard during our stay. The staff was very helpful and accommodating, holding our luggage until we returned from the trek. There are many fabulous restaurants and shops nearby. The hotel lobby provided large water bottles for us to fill our Camelbaks before the long trek. We were located less than a block from the Salkantay Trek meeting center, which made pick up very convenient early in the morning.

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.
