The finest thing about this spot were the people working there. The primary guy, Nino, said he used to be a porter, so he&'s a extremely exceptional talker and knows everything there is certainly to know about all the exceptional places to travel. Right after talking with him, we would pretty much follow his advice. He or another worker there would actually make breakfast for us each morning. One night, we were supposed to arrive at 3 or 4am on the bus. The bus ended up arriving at 6 or 7am--lo lamento Nino! --but he was waiting to let us in that morning, even when we arrived late. How nice! The showers, sinks, and toilets were all good, points were clean, we were close to the Plaza, and had a TV, and there was baggage storage.

Very warm and friendly Stuff - Useful info for our Trip to Colca Canon. Extremely really good Breakfast. Possibility of depositing our Backbacks whilst being in the Canon for 3 days. The hostel is situated really close to the citycenter of Arequipa (just apprx. 100m)

It is extremely centrally located, hardly 2 minutes from the Plaza des Armas - the central plaza of Arequipa. Arriving soon after midnight is no issue in this hostal - they open the door and help you get to bed as fast as probable (which you really need soon after a long journey! ). They offer you a delicious breakfast including a fried egg - which gets you a outstanding start off into the day soon after a long journey.

We loved our stay. The staff was warm and friendly and knowledgable of the area. They had a cab ready for us on time. The building was secure and was lovely and airy. The location was GREAT! 3/4 block from Plaza de Armas, extremely secure and convenient!

The staff are really helpful and keen to get you what you want. Superb info and deals for tours, really very good internet, nice breakfast. Its not a party hostel which is great! You can relax here and the dorms have a nice ensuite. Quite comfortable beds with a decent amount of power plugs for recharging.
