This is a boutique hotel...it is centrally located on the noisy San Franciso Plaza; and it is an oasis. The rooms (away from the street) are cozy with steaming hot showers, decent internet connections, and yummy heavy andean blankets on the beds. The continental breakfast includes a variety of local juices, fruits, breads, and teas. The lobby serves as a tea & tv lounge. The staff is simply wonderful, the manager, Denny, and his team make every effort to communicate and serve. When our departure flight was cancelled at the last moment, they scrambled in order to find us rooms so that we'd have a place to stay the night. These were our third and fourth visits to this jewel, it won't be our last.

Pros:
-Felt Safe
-Great location
-Offered Triples
-Front desk was very nice and spoke English
-Offered a continental breakfast
-Gave us Cocoa tea upon arrival

Cons:
-Room was extremely dusty. Curtains had not been washed in a VERY VERY long time and we all sneezed all night long.
-The beds were very used and uncomfortable
-The bedding was very thin and used.
-The shower took 10 minutes to produce warm water
-Overpriced

We stayed here originally for their perfect central location on the San Francisco Plaza. We went back two more times in the same month because the hotel is impeccably clean, the service is above par, and the staff is wonderfully helpful and friendly. Our travel plans changed without notice, and the Amerinka was kind enough to maintain our reservations (without price change) and store our luggage until we could return. This is a boutique hotel, so it is unpretentious and service-oriented. There is a tea service in the main lobby which is just a brief introduction to the excellent services offered by this hotel. The prices are comparable, the rest of the experience is far above the standard for this city.

We stayed here before our trip to Machu Pichu. Cuzco is a very busy city with lots of polluting noisy vehicles. We were grateful that we were not in a hotel on a busy street, instead the Amerinka faces onto a sort of pedestrianised street. Its location is right in the middle of cuzco and it is an easy walk to most of the attractions in Cuzco.
Inside the hotel there was a delightful atmosphere and guests are welcomed with a special drink that is supposed to stop altitude sickness. We couldn't drink it! It was horrible tasting thankfully we did not get altitude sickness maybe smelling the drink helped!
The rooms are quite small and face an inner courtyard with lots of going on inside It overlooked a little cafe from the main square.
Strangely in the bathroom there was plenty of hot water in the shower but the sink did not have a hot water tap! The breakfast buffet was typical Peruvian with lots of bread and fruit. The hotel has computers where guests can access the internet free of charge.
The hotel was fairly quite whilst we were there and allowed us to leave our luggage unpacked (free of charge) in the room whilst we went to stay at another hotel close to Machu Pichu.
