Amazing Hostel Arequipa Reviews

The staff was very helpful and REALLY nice all the time. Breakfast is amazing (pancakes with bananas or eggs with bread) and the beds good. Nice roof terrace and patio.

No party hostel ,if your are looking for a quite place in the center of Arequipa this is the place , hostel conveniently located in historic neighborhood (San Lazaro)and very close to major attractions, very good breakfast,great rooms they organize great tours to Colca Canyon they offer different routes for Trekking with very good guides, Thanks

The hostel is great!Double rooms are quite big,hot water 24h.The Wifi is not working properly in all rooms,but it's not a problrm.Highly recommend!

Being able to get into our room early in the morning after an overnight bus was great. The room was ok, furnishings tired and only net curtains. There was a lot of noise transference, especially from the neighbouring buildings. There was a nice roof terrace with views of the mountains but very little shade. The breakfast of banana pancakes was tasty but cold. We moved there are plenty of other hostels and we found a much nicer one for the same price: double room 70 soles. Not that amazing.

Although the kitchen was a disaster for most of our stay, they did a huge clean out our last day which was nice. The place was very quiet, and served banana pancakes everyday! Very yummy. Located in a cute small plaza. I would reccomend.

Las instalaciones del hostel son buenas (buena ubicación, limpio, etc). El desayuno es muy pobre, bajo la media del Perú (que por lo general no son buenos). El personal es muy deshonesto. Contraté con ellos via e-mail la excursión del Colca tradicional 2D/1N, y desde ahi nos fuimos a Puno, por 4M. Con respecto a esto, nos cobraron el boleto turístico del Colca 70 S/. cada uno, en lugar de 40 S/. que corresponden a Latinos, ademas de cobrarnos por el tour 90 Soles cuando en la agencia cuesta 70 S

Great location and great facilities. The staff is helpful breakfast very good , Roof top with pol table chairs and tables all new a good place to relax .

Great place, nice Banana pancake breakfast, and helpful staff. We got in at 4am and the staff tried to find us a few beds to sleep in till the morning free of charge!

Views of the mountains are amazing if you can catch. Not a party hostel at all, as mentioned, it's more tranquil. In near perfect location, about 4-6 blocks from the center, The breakfasts of banana pancakes were tasty. Didn't have any hot water issues, you have to let it run for a few minutes since it's solar-heated. Marcos, and Lupe were cool. Angelica was very helpful with city directions.. Alex didn't go crazy like "check out time"="get out time" like some other hostels, was like family.

Bathrooms smelled a bit during the day, had some warm and some cold showers. Alex the owner is awesome and very helpful. He called taxis for us and also allowed us to arrive early for check-in

Pro's - It's clean with hot showers an nice massive bananna pancake. We stayed in private double. Helpful manager, Alex us so kind and helpful. Went out of his way to help you. Con's - needs an desperate update. Kitchen was really dirty. Annoying doorbell. Common areas ok. Roof top has a battered pool table. And wrecked sofas. Alex wants to make changes but may take awhile. Expect basic but clean and eat out or endure the kitchen Manager wants

The staff are more concerned with booking a trip to the canyon rather that doing any work like cleaning. Facilities are run down, kitchen is left filthy by the staff and the only person who does any work is the gorgeous woman who tries to keep on top of the cleaning. Roof top views are great, but this place doesn't deserve to be top rated.

Great Hostel. I really enjoyed to staying there. The Staff is very helpful.

very nice and relaxed place to stay. bathroom was very clean and showers good. alex is amazingly friendly and helpful. the colca trek he is offering was great - very small group, great guide, good food - a total must do!

We stayed there for nearly a week due to illness. Alex and the rest of the staff was very helpful and we could stay in the same room all week, even though we only booked for 2 nights at the beginning. (When Alex new about the illness we had the room as long as we wanted it). The breakfast is excellent and the hostel is in a nice and quite location just 8min from the main plaza. Arequipa is a lovely city and much different/modern from the rest of Peru, that we visited. I can only recommend it.

Alex the owner was a great source of knowledge about Arequipa and the surrounding area. The breakfast is brilliant and the location is great. Be careful with the laundry service as mine was mixed in with someone else's washing that had something red in it, which then coloured a couple of my shirts red.

Our family of 4 stayed here before and after Colca Canyon. Alex was very helpful and arranged our tour with Marcos, who did a great job. We had private rooms for the first night with great beds, good bedding, and spotless bathroom with good water pressure. Great banana pancakes! Cons include the abandoned, empty swimming pool, cigarette smoke wafting into the bedrooms from the common area (maybe they could smoke on the roof or not at all), lace curtains (no privacy), and no hot water in the am.

We stayed in a double room. Large and comfortable. Employees are prepared and helped us at all. The breakfast is good, clean place. Safe and quiet location, ten minutes from the Plaza de Armas. Always with hot water. recommend!

The hostel owner, Alex was so helpful. He organised everything for us and went so far out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. The hostel is a family run business and the whole family are reliable, friendly and will do anything to make your stay enjoyable. Alex is a tour operator so he can easily co-ordinate treks and tours and even buses. We trekked up El Misti Volcano with a guide very cheaply. He also let us stay in a room after checkout for no charge because we were so tired.

They are very kind persons and available for any necessity.
