We initially booked this hostel for 2 days and ended up to stay a full week. The room is really basic but the bed is comfortable. The rooftop terrace is really the strength of this hostel as well as it’s great location. It’s a very calm place, which is perfect for relaxing.
Stayed for one week because of its comfort and staff! In the heart of the old town, next to all facilities, stores and restaurants, can be a bit loud on the weekends. Really nice terrace space and comfortable “tv room” downstairs to chill or work. Bathrooms were clean and functional with hot showers. Kitchen was ok, could have newer utensils. Staff were helpful and attentive, could have considered them my friends! Thanks for the stay.
We stayed for 5 days and while the conditions are simple this place is an excellent value for money (they also offer breakfast) and the location is very good. The staff is helpful and friendly and found quick solutions when there was a water outage in Arequipa.

I totally recommend this hostel. Daniel the host was helpful in every situation - was it the need to organize a transport or a trip or just to talk about Peru - it doesn’t matter, we could count on him, and he speaks fluent english which is not that common in Peru. The hostel itself is clean and has all the equipment needed. We loved the big terrace at the roof. Localization was great. Don’t hesitate, just book the place! 😊
