Really enjoyed my stay here. Beautiful grounds with lots of common spaces (both indoors and outdoors) to sit and relax, enjoyed the free yoga class and was easy to organise tours etc. Staff were lovely and helpful and it was clear the hostel was well taken care of. Good location - the main plaza was a short walk away.
A few notes on the dorms… one bathroom for a 12 bed dorm wasn’t enough (even just a sink in the room would’ve been helpful) and the bed lockers/under bed storage weren’t big enough for most backpacks so the floor space was always taken up with everyone’s bags - quite a hazard at night!

Great choice for Arequipa
Terrific shared open area where guests lounged, relaxed, read or ate. Nice vibe.
My only gripe was that my room was quite cold (it is winter).
One night there was live music, whcih added to the ambience

The ambience was nice, but the room had a smell when we walked in, there was not hair dryer or phone in the room.
Beds were comfortable.

The private rooms are great but the property is way overpriced causing no travelers to hang out. Coffee is bad, double espresso is just a single with extra water. They charge you up for everything you buy or organise. Not a big fan, won’t stay again

Beautiful grounds. Friendly staff.
I thought it came with free breakfast when I booked with Expedia but they said no. It’s okay though. I was happy with everything else.

Zeer gemoedelijk hotel
Erg leuk en gezellig hotel. Vooral veel backpackers. Personeel heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Er zijn heel erg veel excursies te boeken. Het bijhorend ontbijt was zeer uitgebreid en erg lekker.

Lo mejor, Un lugar con muchas amenidades dentro de la propiedad, personal con muy buena atención y muy bien ubicado.
Por mejorar habitaciones de 12 personas son demasiada gente, debería tener aire acondicionado en esos cuartos y por lo menos dos baños. Luego cambié a una habitación privada pero al estar cerca a una calle se escuchaba toda la bulla.

Il est impossible de dormir dans cet établissement sauf si on a prevu d'y faire la fête tous les soirs !!! Le personnel est peu chaleureux (surtout la personne qui m'a accueilli le jeudi 28 septembre à 14h30 pas de sourir puis elle etait excédée car on avait pas fait le nécessaire à mon arrivee comme le scan de mon passeport, elle m'a ensuite jeté la clef de la chambre de manière très désinvolte sans donner aucin renseignement sur le fonctionnement de l'établissement) et pas du tout accommodant !! On ne m'a pas fourni les clefs de la salle de bain commune alors que les autres convives oui... Autant dire que je n'y reviendrai plus ni dans aucun établissement Selina

Très bien
Chambre plus que confortable avec un lit immense
Propreté nickel
Douche bien chaude
Grande télévision pratique
Zone commune agréable
Le seul point négatif est le personnel qui n'est pas du tout accueillant ni souriant, dommage
