    I simply have no words to describe the kindness of the owner. She did everything to make me feel the best possible. The only thing I wish I had said bye to was that I stayed longer. The rooms are also nice and clean. Come and see for yourself. If I could, I would give it a rating of 20 out of 10.

    The Hostel is in a quiet area of Arequipa located. I stayed in a 4 Bed room. It was big enough and enough space. The hostel was well equipped with all you need for a good stay. The host was very friendly and helpful, with all questions i had. I can recommend this hostel.

    The bed and pillows were very hard (and I like a firm bed). It is not well signed from the outside - it just looks like someone’s house - but that’s also part of its charm. Beware: there are spiral stairs up to second floor where most of the rooms are, which I was fine with.

    Lovely family home stay with clean room and good shower. The owners were lovely and really went out of their way to help.

    This is a cute hostel run by the nicest family. Fabiola looked after me when I got food poisoning (don't eat ceviche from the market). The whole family was really friendly. The rooms are nice and the location is good, ten minutes from the historical centre.

    This is a relatively new hostel in Arequipa, located just 10 minutes from the Plaza de Armas in a pretty quiet spot. There is a nice roof terrace to hang out with other travellers or the pet birds and rabbit. My room and bathroom was clean and comfortable. Best of all was Fabiola, who runs the hostel, who is among the kindest and loveliest people I've met while travelling through Peru! (You can book tours through the hostel too)

    The attention by the owners is extraordinary just like the breakfast. I dont know how this works. One extra is, when in the beginning we were only two guests in the dormitories they would give each of us his own dormitory, so a Privatroom for 6 dollars including breakfast.. Ladies and gentlemen, thats service, thats how it should be. Thanks for everything.

    Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Arequipa. Everything was just awesome and super comfy and clean. Fabiola is just the nicest person, warm-hearted, funny, and helpful. After one month in Peru, I can confirm that this was the best place I've stayed at together with the 4star hotel at the airport. Don't look any further in Arequipa (I've seen 2 other places with similar ratings and would always highly recommend staying here). It is also very close by a short walk to the main square and everything you need. Hot shower with enough pressure, nice breakfast, comfy bed and warm room (you won't feel cold here during the night like in many other places). The room is spacious, and you have a window to the outside, which is also pretty rare in some places. Thank you for everything 🙏🏽 When I return to Arequipa, I would love to stay here again.
