This was the first accommodation I stayed at for my 3 weeks South American trip, Having travelled 25 hours or so including transit (4 flights from where I live to Cusco!), it was great to relax in a hotel with great character, beautiful courtyard and complimentary Coca tea. Very friendly staff and convenient location. I would recommend to anyone on... More

This hotel was good, great location, nice rooms - even though was very cold but a heater was provided upon request, good service, average breakfast but very fresh. The staff as superb. The rooms can be a little bit loud early at night but later - on is no problem. The hotel is kept very clean.

This is a gorgeous little hostal in San Blas. Less than a ten minute walk from the main square, with lots of good shopping and restaurants nearby. My room was cute, small but functional and the whole place was VERY clean. Sunny little courtyards to relax in and friendly staff make it easy to be there. The front desk was... More

For price, location and service provided we had a really nice stay here and would highly recommend. Clean, hot water, good breaky, free one pick from airport, not train station though. All in all a great stay.

Amaru Hostal is great value, centrally located and provides excellent service. We spent two separate nights here before and after our trip to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo). Amaru arranged for free transfer from the airport upon arrival and to store our bags while we travelled to Machu Picchu for a couple of nights. Amaru provides an excellent breakfast in... More

We stayed here 3 nights before and after our Inca trail trip. Great location a few blocks from the main square. Rooms were clean and comfortable, however a little cool, but we just paid for a heater ($3) and it was very comfortable. Breakfast was very good and staff were helpful. We were able to check in early and they... More

The only positive things about this hotel are the grounds and its location. The location really can't be beat and the courtyard is lovely. That being said, there's got to be something better out there for the price. The hotel staff was courteous but not overly helpful. When we first checked in we had the room next to the kitchen....

Booked this hotel because of good reviews in books and on the net and because it fit with our budget. Not sure what everyone is going on about... Staff are nice enough, but not really that personable. Beds are hard, and pillows need way more stuffing in them. The rooms are basic (which doesn't really bother us) but are dark.... More
