September 2015 Review - the other reviews are 2 years old. This place has deteriorated and it seems to have no management at all. Staff did not know I was coming and could not find my booking which was done via Hotels.com. I was give a room which had not been properly cleaned and there was strong smelling wax polish on the floor. I asked for another room and was offered one with no windows and which had not been made up after the previous guest. Then I was brought to another room which also had no windows and was full of cleaners machines. I told the girl I was leaving and she just shrugged her shoulders. I had booked for 6 nights but decided to leave after 1. Ignore the old reviews - that was the mistake I made.

Stayed here during a big mining exhibition which packed Arequipa. This is an old building in a great location a stones throw from the beautiful center of Arequipa. The rooms are naturally cool in the day and warm at night. The hotel is very clean, the staff are nice and the breakfast is adequate. It has no frills is not luxurious but was a nice experience and great value. Soap and shampoo are included but I would advise to bring your own. Just outside the hotel is a good selection of bars, restaurants, coffee shops etc.
