Reviews of Tambo del Solar

Good location in a beautiful neighborhood. Clean.

Paper thin walls; can hear other guests' conversations. Very small room. Little space for luggage. Difficult to move around. Hot water only during the daytime. Given that many tours in Arequipa start very early and end late, you may not be able to take a hot water shower.

The apartment at the top was very comfortable.

It would have been good if they had a small table setting on the balcony. Half the days the water was only luke warm. The other days very hot though.

Great location for tourists. Extremely comfortable room and in a very secure area. 24 hour reception is beneficial as a lot of tours from Arequipa start very early in the morning.

Lovely terrace in the sun. Nice and clean rooms with good showers and kitchen.

The shower was really good, the bed was comfortabel, staff was helpful and friendly.

Small hallway between room and shower was like a patio; outside but covered. That was a little bit chilly.

The location is perfect - short walk to the plaza. Very quiet and safe neighborhood.

I could smell someone is smoking the cigarette outside by my bathroom.

Best shower during my Peru trip

Heard neighbors in the evening

A good hotel, a decent clean room and a good location.

Nothing really

The location is great, close to the old town, but also within walking distance of a large Real Plaza and Plaza Vea. Potentially a nice apartment for a good price, with a view over a large part of the city and the mountains.

But unfortunately, a large part of those mountains and the city also had a view into our bathroom window, which the hotel didn’t think necessary to cover. There are blinds, but they’re in such poor condition that many are missing, leaving you quite literally standing bare-bottomed in front of the window when using the toilet or taking a shower. We brought this up with the reception, but they didn't take this serious. Furthermore, the hygiene—especially in the bathroom—was poor. It was clearly visible that a previous guest had shaved there, there were toothpaste stains on the wall, and the handheld showerhead was in such bad condition that it was basically unusable. In the kitchen, I particularly missed the cleaning supplies that had been promised on Booking.com, which meant we couldn’t even wash our own dishes—a real drawback when renting an apartment like this. Some basic cleaning supplies would have made the mandatory daily cleaning, for which we had to leave the apartment by 9:45 a.m. for two hours every day, more or the less unnecessary. Overall, I didn’t feel like guest well-being was a priority here, which is a dealbreaker for me.

The ubication

The room was too small, and the sound was easy to listen to in the room..

Good location, clean and comfortable room and bathroom, an amazing view over Misti volcano and friendly staff

Deposit request via bank transfer doesn't work well for last-minute booking (and is overall an inconvenience). The room that we booked was given to someone else and we received an unwanted upgrade with less privacy but the staff was helpful and a solution was found in the end

We liked the location the most being that close to the Plaza del Armas.

We did not like that our terrace was not alone for us and that the cleaning lady invaded our privacy when trying to do the hotel laundry! We were at the toproof so that problem only occurs there!

Staff was super friendly, gave us an upgrade on our room which was really cool, rooms are nice like mini apts, 5 minute walk to plaza de armas. Good balcony view. Super cheap price, stayed 3 days.

Wish they had better wifi. Other than that, hotel was 9/10

Very friendly staff. Great location.

There was a foul smell coming from the sewer not only on the bathroom. Missing hook for towel in the bathroom, poor lighting

Very quite , fully equipped kitchen

Not sunny

Spacious and calm

I called the property before booking to ask if they have Air Conditioning, since the AC filter option was not available in booking for hotels in arequipa. I was told that they have AC just in the big room so i booked it even though i was alone. When i reached the hotel i asked again about AC and the receptionist confirmed. After i went to the room and was surprised by the lack of AC i went down to the reception to complain and they kept insisting that the portable heater has an option that will give cool air and that they will ask maintenance to come and fix it for me…

Overall, a nice stay and good value for your money. It is close to the city center, 5 min walking distance, and located on a gated street. Clean room with a nice bed, warm shower and a small refrigerator - everything you need. Friendly staff. The entrance is locked, too, so it feels very safe.

Staff spoke very limited English.

The staff was really nice, the location very convenient and bed good.

This was my second stay. First time had great room on 3rd floor w natural light and views. Second time had a small ground floor box w no outward facing windows. Natural light through open door to passage to bathroom down an obscured 3 level lightwell. With this door open ALL the sounds from next door bathroom were clearly audible.

A very spacious suite, with a balcony and a kitchenette too!

Nothing

Beautiful location, quiet and still close to the centre, staff was really nice
