Nice place, very friendly and helpful stuff (thank you Lourdes!). The terrace upstairs is great for a chill out time :) warm showers and a quite night. Arequipa is lovely!
The atmosphere of the hostel is great - the staff are friendly and helpful, and the patios and terrace are great spots to hang out and meet other travellers. The rooms are clean and well kept. Showers are not always hot, unfortunately, but otherwise, a great hostel!
Nice hostel. Very friendly staff. They allowed us to swap our breakfast from day of checkout to day of check-in as we arrived early and left early. Double room was a little dingy due to small window overlooking communal bathroom. Nice outdoor area with 4 hammocks. At time of writing they had a small kitten.

Reviews
Dragonfly Hostels Arequipa is a popular choice among travelers for its great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms, and unique rooftop terrace. While some guests mentioned occasional issues with hot water in the showers and small beds in certain rooms, overall, visitors appreciated the welcoming environment and convenient location near San Camilo market. The hostel offers basic breakfast options but stands out for its outdoor areas with hammocks where guests can relax and socialize.

Great hostel to stay while in Arequipa, very close to the San Camilo market. Rooms are very clean, the rooftop terrace is unique and the staff is very welcoming.
Booked an excursion directly from the reception.
Loved it!
Lacked social atmosphere, but nice staff. Breakfast included. Showers with hot water are hit or miss. Lockers in room. Breakfast included, but basic. Rooftop hangout with hammocks. Same day laundry service available through outside company. Laundry returns at 8p.
