Good hostel in a great location. Breakfast was good in a nice room. Staff were very friendly and committed to making my stay a pleasant one. My room was a bit short on natural light but nothing that was a problem. Would recomend this hostel. lessmarkeast76 (Avid Traveller from New Zealand), November 2009:

Pretty much a budget hotel rather than a hostel but the staff were really helpful. Nice and clean and about a 5 minute walk to the Plaza de Armas so the location is pretty good also. If you are going to the Colca Canyon then try to do at least the 2 day trek if you have the time - the one day is almost not worth it for all of the travelling (and getting up at 2am)!! less

A very clean and modern hostal just far enough from El Centro (downtown) and closely managed by Alex, who is very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this hostal, which, in Arequipa, is within bus range of Lima, Cusco, Ica, Tacna, and Nazca. lessDaniel & Shyla (Novice Nomad from USA), November 2009:

A VERY NICE hotel a small walk from the square. The hotel is setup to help travellers with loads of information on sites and how to. There were bus strikes in Peru that effected our travel and the owner was very helpful in calling the bus station and helping us with our options. And we heard from other travellers she was as helpful for them as well. Rooms are super clean, modern, light and cheerful. All staff was very nice, efficient and helpful. less

Great location near some restaurants, tour agencies shops and bars. Staff very friendly and helpful..we booked a double room ensuite with breakfast but got a 4 bed dorm instead with no breakfast. The one toilet/shower had to be shared with everyone. Kitchen very small, nice terrace upstairs however. less

I would recommend this hostel, its in a great location, staff are really friendly and helpful including giving advice about Colca canyon tours. Let us leave our bags while we hiked. Great courtyard and roof garden so great for chilling out. Hot water. lesskj (Novice Nomad from Australia), November 2009:

Lovely, comfortable and fun place to stay. The staff is very helpfull with everything and this togheter with the open patio and flowers and trees makes it a small oasis in beautifull Arequipa. When I got in I was very sick, but the staff treated me with tea, bread, noodles, pills and most important: they had a look every now and than. I enjoyed the movieroom over here with such a big collection, that I could have stayed a week or more, but I had to go unfortunately. Keep up the good work Koalas! less
