This is an intimate hotel that is a short walk to local shops, a grocery, nice restaurants, and historic sites. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. There was a lot of choice for the included breakfast and the food was tasty. The view from the balcony was pretty. We were traveling with a family group of 10 including 2... More

They have excellent English... More

While we experienced good service in Peru in general, the folks at Los Tambos blew everyone-- even the 5 star hotels-- way out of the water. We had only planned to stay in Arequipa for one night but a freak windstorm shut down the airport leaving us stranded. We called Los Tambos and not only were they able to accommodate... More

What made my stay so special was the excellent service from the hotel manager and all the staff. I arrived at the hotel around 10 am hoping to check in after a tiring overnight bus from Lima. The front desk said that my room was ready and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had indeed prepared the room... More

We only stayed one night but really loved this hotel. It's one block from the main plaza, one block from the museum with the Ice Maiden, three blocks from the Monastery of Santa Catalina, and an easy walk to tons of restaurants. The location could not have been better. It's also only about a 20 minute ride from the airport.... More

The entire staff at Los Tambos was very helpful and friendly. Thomas, the manager went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Breakfast was amazing- Freshly cut fruits, yummy cereal and crepes and much more.

This place is brilliant. The location is amazing right near Plaza da Aramas and the historic centre of Arequipa. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the rooms are great. We would thoroughly reccommend a stay here.

Los Tambos was very comfortable with stylish, modern beds and baths. The morning breakfast was fantastic - you should definitely try the Creole breakfast of creole sauce with tamales along with the Tres Puntos local bread - not to miss. The staff is super helpful and accommodating. There is no significant outside noise to worry about, and the location is... More

We stayed 2 nights in Los Tambos and they were the best 2 nights in the whole of Peru. The staff were so helpful and spontaneously gave us a "take away" breakfast when we had to go to the Airport really early. Thomas the Htoel Manager leads from the front!

Great hotel in every aspect. Everything was great - service, room quality, breakfast. The staff was phenomenal. They recommended a great tour operator for my Colca Valley tours. My only regret is that I spent only one night in the hotel. If I return to Arequipa in the future I will definitely stay here.
