Great hostel! Has the best showers with amazing water pressure and the water gets hot instantly. The beds are also super comfortable and you have lots of privacy. Delicious breakfast as well! It’s more of a chill and quiet hostel, but still possible to socialize if you like.
For real THE BEST hostel I've ever stayed in. The bathroom is so clean with hot water coming out in seconds, and they have a lot of shower booths and toilets. The kitchen is huge with every utensils. They even have a stove and a fridge. Of course you can do a luggage keep. The curtain prevents the light from coming out. The best sleep i had in days. Also it wasn't cold inside the room. Coca tea is provided in the lobby and cica candy? Is also at the reception! I really recommend here. You won't regret it.
It's a very nice, modern and chill hostel. The rooms are very big and cozy. The only problem is that it gets really hot in the pod because of the curtains. Carlos, the day guy is very helpful and the Chica Morada Bonbons at the reception are the best.

Stayed at three different hostels during my stay in Arequipa and this one exceeded expectations. Bathrooms are beautiful and newly renovated. Numerous sinks, mirrors, toilets and showers. The shower pressure is 10/10. Rooms are comfortable and open areas are inviting. Easy to meet other travelers. Fully decked out kitchen and freely included buffet breakfast in the morning. What really makes this hostel exceptional is the staff. Thank you Carlos and every other staff member for being so kind and inviting. Simply genuine in every interaction. Loved my stay.
This hostel has just reopened after a renovation and it’s really great! Even though some rooms are still under construction, the place is already cozy and very quiet. The beds with curtains are super comfortable, the rooms are spacious with large lockers, and the bathrooms are very clean with shower gel and hairdryers provided.
The included breakfast buffet is good, and the shared kitchen is well equipped.
The staff is also very friendly and helpful. Big shoutout to Carlos, who makes sure everyone has a great time! His free walking tour felt like a good friend showing you around their hometown.
