Very Good
Many common spaces including a roof top terrace and garden with hammocks. Definitely a good place to get to know people. Many activities at the hostel: pingpong, billiard, yoga, fitness. Offer tours at fair prices. We did the Sillar tour and the Salinas tour and we're happy with both. Shared kitchen available for cooking/storing food. Twin room has a nice little balcony.
They clean the common bathrooms several times a day - very clean for a hostel.
Very bright lamp in the twin room, no secondary light or night lamps.
They wanted to charge a higher price than indicated on booking due to a very bad dollar-soles exchange rate. We kept insisting on the official exchange rate and at the end they gave in. Very annoying and intransparent, though!

Excellent value. Great breakfast. Hot showers. Good WiFi connection. Well organized for backpackers and arranging hiking tours. 4 blocks from main plaza. Lots of stores, ATMs cheap eats. Helpful and friendly staff. They know what they are doing.
Mattresses are due for a change ?

It's cool, beds are private and comfortable, activities offered are cool and diverse, I would've stayed longer if it were not fully booked
Shower facilities could be better

The hostel is in a really big house, and the atmosphere really makes you feel your'e part of the family. Everybody walks in and out of the kitchen/dining room, talking to each other. Also the personnel is very friendly and most of them know the visitors by name.
I would definitely recommend it, and I will come back if I'm in Arequipa!
It is (just a little bit) out of the center, 10/15 walk to the main square. It would be nice if the beds had more and better curtains, I like my private time.

The staff were super accommodating when I arrived very early in the morning. The breakfast was basic but good and happy with all facilities.
Some of the plugs were a little bit dodgy but that's only the smallest thing I would really recommend this place!

It is a very nice Hostel close to the city center of Arequipa. Nice place to meet people. Good breakfast, great stuff. Lots of activities that can be booked and arranged.
The bed is a little uncomfortable but still I slept well.

The family style breakfast was amazing to meet other travellers every morning. We were really looked after as we arrived at 5am off the bus. The staff were really kind, washing service was great and I loved having use of the kitchen to cook my own meals
No bigger lockers in the dorms meant that there was peoples stuff everywhere and made the room feel very crowded

The staff was excellent. We arrived on an overnight bus hours before check in and they let us use all facilities and have breakfast. The room we had was very big. Lots of fun things to do including a pool table.
The wifi was spotty at times and during the day the room gets hot- it would’ve been nice to have a fan in the room.
