    We had the Terrace room which was tired. The paint was flaking off the ceilings on both the bedroom and bathroom. Very very noisy 24 hours a day ear buds were needed. Shower was luke warm at best. Asked for a takeaway breakfast as breakfast didn't start until 0730 and we were leaving at that time. They agreed then didn't bother.

    It was nice having a private terrace. Whilst noisy the location was good. Just an 8 minute walk to the main square.

    Staff were nice, but hardly spoke any English. Breakfast could have been more abundant.

    Our room was very nicely decorated and comfortable. We also had a private terrace which we did not expect! Shower was good, breakfast simple but tasty. The hostel is located on the edge of a rather busy area which makes it relatively quiet.

    - Very noisy at night. Not from the hostel but from the streets - would recommend bringing earplugs.

    - Best shower we’ve had so far! - The staff are incredibly helpful and stored our bags when we went on the Colca Canyon hike for no extra cost. - Beautifully designed. - Excellent breakfast - Terrace with views.

    The bathroom was a little old and the noise from the town can be loud in the mornings.

    This little hotel is delightful! There are only a handful of rooms, which makes the service feel very tailored and personal. Our room was spacious and the terrace was lovely - both for breakfast and for a drink in the evenings. The breakfast was prepared fresh (whenever we were ready) too.

    Arequipa is a noisy 24/7 city. Bring earplugs.

    The location is superb - an easy walk into Arequipa centre. Food and shops were within easy reach. The breakfast was extra but great value. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed on two occasions before & after a trek. Would come again.

    It was a bit noisy throughout the night from traffic and people on the streets - this is obviously not the fault of the hostel.

    The rooms were so spacious and beautifully finished. There was house-keeping which we didn't expect! It was spotlessly clean. The beds were extremely comfortable. Hot water for our showers! And a beautiful patio area to relax.

    Was quite loud in the evenings.

    Nice and clean. Were able to leave our luggage while doing a multiple day hike. We left early so we got a breakfast package the evening before. It’s possible to enter the property via passcode so no key is needed which is a plus. Nice terrace.

    The best host I ever get. I’ve been welcomed 5am with a smile. The guy makes us a coffee and offers a room immediately. A few hours later they change the room as we ordered and gave us a breakfast out of hours. We’ve got the keys for gate as well , therefore free to be in and out 24/7. Everyday new bedding and towels without asking for that.They helped us with local tours with preference prices. One of the trips was Colca canyon starting 3am. The guy made us coffee and breakfast at that time of the day. No words. The best service I ever received. Very big..Thank You!!

    Our pre-booked room was not available when we arrived, so after some waiting and a little bit of chaos, we got another room (although it was much smaller). That one was not ready either, so they quickly changed the sheets without really doing a thorough cleaning. As a result, there was still dirt on the floor and surfaces, and also some stains in the bathroom. The room was not in the best condition: the door to the bathroom was broken, so it couldn't be closed properly. The main door to the room jammed. As mentioned in many previous reviews, the reception is often unstaffed for extended periods, which means that guests have to wait in front of the hotel ringing the bell for 20-30 minutes. This happened twice during our one-night stay - in the end, other guests could only enter because I opened the main door after being annoyed by the bell. Given that these issues were mentioned in many previous reviews, I find it hard to believe that the owners care at all. Therefore, I would recommend going for another hotel – there are far better choices for a comparable price within walking distance.

    The hotel was overall okay, but it could be much better if the owners put in some effort and listened to feedback. Overall, I would not recommend it – there are much better hotels for the same price within walking distance.

    The hotel has tried to soundproof the room but during the night you still hear quite a bit of noise from the outside of the hotel and from the other guests (when they leave early for tours and such). Bring earplugs!

    The room was very comfortable and clean. It's nice that they have some storage space and even a little desk. Staff was friendly and professional. Location is good: all the nice restaurants are within walking distance.
