“Cozy Room, Good Location”
I liked my room and my bed was very comfortable. The room was warm enough. They let me check in early and have breakfast after my night bus and 5am arrival for 15 soles. The location was great. The wifi worked well most of the time. There were nice seating areas around. The breakfast area is nice. There's toast, oats, yogurt and scrambled eggs.

“Much better than expected.”
Even though this was a hostel, it was very quiet. We upgraded to a private room with a bath which was really needed after our overnight bus! The water was hot. The 24 hour reception meant we were able to check in at 5am in the morning. Location is not far from the main square.

Good hostel an easy walk to the centre of Arequipa. Clean room, basic shared toilet and hot shower. Lots of shared space both inside and out in enclosed courtyards. The kitchen was basic but we cooked evening meals without any problems. Friendly staff.

“Excellent value for money. Really comfortable. One of the better nights’ sleeps I had during my trip!”
The bed was so comfortable and the room was nice and cosy. I worried I’d be too cold at night but it was perfect

The suite is wonderful. Like sleeping in a monastery. The hostel was generally very beautiful. Very close to the old town and yet totally quiet. Great accomodation for the money!
