This was a great, clean place to stay in a really good location. A few blocks off the main square, it was nice and quiet and central. The bathrooms back onto each other so you can occasionally hear other people's bathroom noises a little too clearly, but overall we were really happy with it. Staff at reception were really nice... more

This was our third hotel in Arequipa and we really liked it. It{s tucked behind the monastery and rooms are set off a pretty courtyard. Rooms are comfortable, showers are hot and staff our really friendly and helpful, even at 4am when I was panicking about an alarm I could hear. The breakfast room and terrace also offer great views... more

At 2 minutes walk from the Plaza de Armas and Santa Catalina Monastery, with clean rooms, hot water and good service it's difficult to ask for more. For people sensible to pain, stay away for the massages. It's not bad, but not so gentle. more

This hotel was clean with good service. The staff were very nice and helped us book our bus tickets to Puno. The first night we stayed there we had a triple that was kind of small, so we asked them to give us a bigger room the next night and they did. The bathrooms were clean with reliable hot water.... more

It is located a short walk from the... more

We had arrived on a very late bus at 4.30 a.m. yet the hotel had sent as requested a pick up from the bus station. They had had to wait 3 hours! What service. On arrival at hotel we were greeted most warmly despite the hour and shown to our clean, carpeted room with private shower. In the morning had... more
