Comfortable and clean hotel with attentive English speaking staff in quiet location. Nice leisurely 15 minute walk to Plaza de Armas and many restaurants. Inexpensive taxi ride to hotel in the evening. Very good breakfast included. Two nice courtyards with lawns, many flowering plants and furniture for reading or just relaxing. Good cable television (if you must see the Superbowl).... More

We stayed here on two occasions, leaving our luggage between visits. The hotel is clean and secure, with friendly and helpful staff and a couple of nice courtyards. The only downside is the park at night, which sits between the hotel and the city centre/restaurant area. We walked home in the dark on 3 evenings with no problems, but I... More

Lovely place situated away from the hustle and bustle of downtown but still within walking distance of the Plaza de Armas and restaurants. A private courtyard and gardens out the back to relax in the sunshine. Rooms are clean, water is hot, and staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast included but small meals and drinks also available throughout the day... More

La Gruta Hotel was for us an oasis. The advantage of being near the centre af Arequipa, 15 minutes walk, and living in a very quit place. The rooms are large and clean and breakfast is very good. But the best of La Gruta is the always friendly and helpfull staff. The very nice young lady at the desk speaks... More

Second, rooms were not available when we arrived this palce and we arrived at 15:30, we complaint... More

During my backpacktrip this hotel was a great place to tread myself with some luxury! The nice room with a good bed and clean bathroom was exactly what I needed. The breakfast was good and they also serve some small meals at night. The friendly staff gave me a lot of tips about the city. When there weren't any taxi's... More

This hidden jem in a very nice, quiet neighborhood is a quiet oasis for your trip to Arequipa. The rooms are simple yet well done and clean; the courtyard offers a quiet space to reflect in peace. Breakfast was hearty and was served later than daybreak! The staff was very friendly and accommodating to my every request. Best of all,... More

We visited Arequipa Peru to pick up our son from his LDS mission. We chose the La Gruta Hotel because it was just one block from the mission home. We were VERY pleased with the facility. It was clean, comfortable, friendly, and accommodating. We were there an entire week and enjoyed it the whole time. They provide a very nice... More

I love this hotel! The staff are so friendly! On the first day we arrived early, but we were still able to check in. The front desk staff gave us a map of the city and helpful directions. The hotel is nice and small, every room comes with a bath. There´s internet service available and complimentary breakfast of eggs, bread,... More
