It's a charming budget option, to be sure.
Frommer's "This cheery yellow republican house in San Blas, hugging a large garden patio with stellar city views, has some of the best value accommodations in Cusco" Full review
Lonely Planet "In a characterful old building in a prime location, Amaru is deservedly popular... Rooms in the outer courtyard are noisy, and those at the back are newest." Full review

Lonely Planet "Location trumps quality in this colonial hotel. The rickety balcony wrapped around a charming patio is the best of this place."
DK Eyewitness "Just two minutes walk from the Plaza de Armas, this charming courtyard hotel is the epitome of cheap and cheerful."
Frommer's "Those looking for something super-cheap and clean and right near the plaza need look no further than Casa Grande, built atop the Palace of Inca Yupanqui." Full review

Downstairs rooms don't get much light and can be dungeon-like, so be sure to reserve those on the second floor.
