The hotel offers a fantastic view of Arequipa and the surrounding mountains, but I found the rooms a bit lacking in privacy due to the large windows facing the lobby. The location is great, just a few blocks from the main plaza, and the staff is generally friendly. However, there were some issues with service during my stay, and the dining experience was somewhat underwhelming. Overall, I appreciated the value for money, but improvements are needed in certain areas.

The rooms had amazing views over the mountains, but the large window straight onto the lobby left no privacy at all. It was a bit noisy at night as well.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, with amazing views of Arequipa and the surrounding mountains. The rooms were clean, but the bed was a bit uncomfortable due to the downsized sheets, and the constant light at night from the windows made sleeping a challenge. The location is really good, just a few blocks from the main plaza, and the staff was helpful overall, especially in a jam with our transportation. However, some amenities could use improvement.

Unfortunately, I found the bed uncomfortable since the sheets were downsized, and there was a lot of light coming in all night because I couldn't close the windows properly.

I had a great time at this hotel, which is located in a very traditional area and is just three blocks from the main plaza. The rooms were spacious and airy, but it was a bit too bright at night since they faced the street. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, which made my stay even better. However, the dining options were nothing special, and I felt the amenities could use some improvement.
