Everything was amazing, the rooms were really clean, tidy and comfortable. Breakfast was the best we've had in South America, eggs made to order, pancakes, bread, cereal, fruits, juices, cafee and tea. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

AKAO HOUSE, hotel in Arequipa

Boasting a garden and views of city, AKAO HOUSE is a recently renovated guest house situated in Arequipa, less than 1 km from Umacollo Stadium.

Not too far from the centre, just nice to be away from the noisy centre. I arrived 5am after an overnight bus and I’m able to check in to get some sleep. Owner is attentive and takes care of you like friends. Kitchen is simple and has only microwave and small fridge. I didn’t try the breakfast because I was out early in the morning. Book the tour package with them for very good price.

Casona Jerusalen, hotel in Arequipa

Situated just 1.9 km from Umacollo Stadium, Casona Jerusalen features accommodation in Arequipa with access to a casino, a garden, as well as a 24-hour front desk.

At this price point, what I'm looking for are a clean and functional room. I received just that and more. Reached checkin and was greeted warmly, getting assigned a room was smoothly done despite arriving at an odd hour, and I was issued a simple towel and bar of soap before being given my room key. Room itself was not overly large but definitely clean as is the toilet. There is no fan or a/C, though, so something to be mindful of depending on when you visit. There is a very quaint and brightly colored outside seating area which is perfect for if / when the room gets a bit claustrophobic. Also, there is a cute little bugger on the property who is easily the most hardworking fella there is. (Photo below)

Orkkowasi backpackers, hotel in Arequipa

Ideally set in the Historical Center district of Arequipa, Orkkowasi backpackers is situated 1.3 km from Yanahuara Church, 1.8 km from Umacollo Stadium and 3.2 km from Melgar Stadium.

The Hostel is very nice, we had a room with enough space and comfy beds. There are to bathrooms which both were clean every time and had hot water. The roof top gives a lot of space to chill and eat. You can use the kitchen which is inside and has enough stuff to cook a meal. The owner and people living there were really kind and helpful. We also could store our backpacks over the day because we left with a night bus.

Boasting a garden and views of city, La Casona Recoleta is a recently renovated guest house set in Arequipa, less than 1 km from Yanahuara Church.

The host was really cute and friendly, she was always present and opened us the door at any time day or night. Since we had to leave early for a trip, she prepared us breakfast including juice, water, bread and fruits for take-away. The room was comfortable, clean and had a private bathroom with a hot shower. We walked not more than 10 minutes to the city center and felt save on the route. We can really recommend this place and would definitely come back :)

    This is a gorgeous boutique hotel. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. There’s a beautiful view from the terrace where you can grab a drink and watch the volcano Misti as the sun goes down. The restaurant was lovely also. We had an early wake up call and the hotel provided a great breakfast box. The location is slightly out of the city center but this is probably a benefit because it’s very quiet. We had a great stay here and look forward to returning.

    Great location, great hosts, they let us leave our bags in the room after checkout and even let us use the room later on the day to shower etc. Shower was good with warm water, beds were fine (I have slept better, but also way worse^^) and for a good price. On saturday there was some music outside though, for quite long, so maybe not the best day if you are not a 'solid sleeper'. But overall I definitely would recommend.

    A great hostel that deserves the praise that others have written about it. Fantastic owners who go far and beyond what they are required to do. Nice upstairs chill area. Very strong and stable Internet which has become sadly a rarity in Arequipa the past year (I have been in and out of Arequipa for a few years). The local market across the street is actually mush bigger than the one tourists visit near the city center. Safe neighborhood and the historic center is walkable.

    great location - quiet residential street only a few minutes walk away from restaurants and shops, and very close to the historic centre. Room was immaculate, bed extremely comfortable, room cool. The hosts were excellent, helped us out by making an early breakfast for us to get to our flight. Roof top terrace with insane views to have breakfast, relax or play pool. cheap laundry service, was completed very quickly. really couldn’t fault it, great place for couples

    A really quiet and peaceful hostel in a great location near the plaza. The 6 bed female dorm was comfortable. The main lady running the hostel is very lovely and helpful. Breakfast and laundry service were both great. Check in/out times are flexible to fit in with 24hr bus schedules.

    small family run hostel, really friendly people, quiet area at night, but still close to the city center and the shopping street, great view over the city from the rooftop terrace, unbeatable value for money. Tip: ask for the double room on top
