Stayed a month in the hostel in private room traveling solo and working remote. Lis & Chio were amazing! The location 20min walk from the center, gives you the experience of local area (safe to walk in the day). You could see Misti at 6am from the rooftop. This is chill-vibes hostal, you can get comfortable familiar quickly in the area. If you enjoy salsa dancing, don't forget to mention to Chio, she will find you the best spots. Make yourself at home, as this is the hostal's vibe.

The hostel was a slight shock compared to the ratings seen on Hostelworld (9+). The showers and bathrooms were very dirty as were the rooms. Felt like you didn’t want to put stuff down because it was so dirty. The kitchen has a stove and a fridge but that’s about it. The staff weren’t amazing, we weren’t greeted welcomingly upon arrival, and when we went back to collect bags there was no one there. Wouldn’t recommend at all there’s so many nice hostels in Arequipa - go there instead!!!
