They have two rates that have nothing to do with the exchange to the dollar. Luckily I checked out early and caught their calculations had I checked out the day of departure it would have been too late to correct the $25 usd error because I said pay in soles instead of dollars. The most aggrevating is a day after... More

We had many expectations for this hotel because everything seemed perfect when we booked it online. When we arrived we were happy to see that the hotel was amazing, the historic building was beautiful and the courtyards were nice and traditional. The truth is that as soon as I saw our room I was disappointed. I thought that we had... More

We booked this online and got a really great deal on a room for 4 people. Our room had a loft with 2 beds and the main level had 2 beds also. The courtyard is very lovely with chairs to sit and relax. There's a pretty garden toward the back of the property. The owner and staff were very friendly... More

Stayed here for 3 nights. A great hotel. It allready starts with the building itself (rustic and historic building) and both its courtyards. The room we had was for 3 people, so staying here with two persons gave us more then enough room. The room also had a kitchen with bararea if you wanted to cook for yourself (but arequipa... More

I stayed here for 1 night before leaving for Colca Canyon. The property is really nice! It's an old house that is kept up very well, has lovely courtyard. My room was spacious, very comfortable, clean, with great hot shower. I want to note how helpful the owners were: they've helped me a lot with my Colca Canyon trip arrangements... More

We spent 4 nights at this hotel. It proved to be a very good choice and was very well located at just over 2 blocks from the impressive plaza de armas. Although the interior of the hotel cannot be seen from the street, once the door is opened (promptly) the view into the two courtyards is impressive and will encourage... More

I love staying in places with a little history, and they have managed to keep an old building and make it comfy enough for a nights stay. Easy walking distance to restaurants and the main square. The staff was friendly and professional. The place was clean and well kept. The front door to the hotel is kept locked day and... More

The thick walls are made out of the white volcanic stone Sillar and all rooms have the so typical high arched roofs and big doors that enter one of the two central courtyards. All rooms have modern bathrooms with toilet. In our bar we serve every morning between 6 AM and 10 AM a breakfast buffet.In our big garden you can enjoy the blue sky and the 320 days of sunshine that Arequipa offers year in year out. The average day temperature is 25 degrees Celsius and rain is rare.
