Nice place with hot showers (only when there's sun), kitchen with fridge & stove, and very cheap paid laundry. We got a room on the top floor which let enjoy the rooftop and the view of the street very easily.

Convenient budget hotel
A budget hotel that offers the very basic needs for a night or two stay. Good location for visiting the central area.

Hostel ist okay, Lage überzeugt
Kleines Hostel in super zentraler Lage!
Die Mitarbeiter waren semi freundlich, es gibt kein Frühstück im Hostel. Die Badezimmer könnte sauberer sein. Die Zimmer wurden täglich gereinigt.
Insgesamt ein durchschnittlicher Aufenthalt

Empfehlenswerte Unterkunft
Schon das zweite Mal hier. Leider ist jetzt die Küche nicht mehr auf der Terrasse, sondern unten in einer kleinen Nische.
Ansonsten empfehlenswert wo bekommt man so günstig ein Einzelzimmer.

Hotel bueno, bonito y barato
Muy buena experiencia, ningún problema con ruidos, ni con la entrada al hospedaje las 24 horas del día. Jorge y Esteban muy amables en cuanto a ayudarnos a ubicarnos y ofrecernos información para pasar un buen momento de turismo; además tienen convenio con una lavandería que te permite dejar la ropa y te la entregan en la noche o al día siguiente.
Bastante cerca a la plaza y a muchos de los museos y conventos cercanos en la ciudad. También paralela a la calle que tiene los mejores bares de la zona y puedes llegar caminando en 30 minutos a Yanahuara paseando para conocer esa bella ciudad.
En cuanto a paquetes turísticos como el Valle del Colca u otros te los muestran en una carpeta en tu habitación para que tengas la comodidad de escoger con tranquilidad cuál prefieres.
Muy recomendable el lugar! Bueno, bonito y barato!

Nice hostel in Arequipa
Staff is courteous and patient with every customer. The room is not big but clean, and the location is close to the plaza de Armas (10 mins walk).
