Guest Houses in Arequipa

Fabiola is an excellent host. I arrived at 5am to her welcoming me to my room after a night bus. She brings breakfast to your room and gives you tips on where to go. And trips. She was so good to me. I felt at home instantly. The hostel is a short walk to centre and I always felt safe. Such amazing value for money. With the perfect host.

La casa de Melgar Rooms are divided by beautiful little courtyards full of flowers and trees. The staff are welcoming and friendly and very helpful, in particular Lydia, who speaks good English, and organised an early check-in for our morning arrival on the Cruz Del Sur bus. She also booked a taxi for our departure, which was far better than dealing with uber. There are a number of laundries just nearby which is very convenient when you are travelling around a lot. This hotel is a very tranquil place to stay in a big busy city. We had two very good night’s sleep owing to the peace and quiet. Our room was enormous 22 feet by 16 feet with a fine arched brick ceiling 12 to 15 feet high. The extremely comfortable double bed measured a huge 7 foot by 7 foot with four - nice! Everywhere in this hotel is filled with old world character and charm. From the 11 foot high double French doors with shutters to the thoughtful provision of a wardrobe, bedside tables, 2 sofas, a desk and a rack to put your baggage on. The solid thick stone walls are cool by day in the summer and warm at night. However, the 18th century styling does not in any way compromise the modern facilities. Wi-Fi is strong and consistent. There are electrical sockets all around the room for charging phones. The rooms are well lit. The large en-suite bathroom has a strong shower over a bath with lots of hot water. A hairdryer, clean fresh towels and soft loo roll are all provided free of charge and the room is impeccably clean at all times.

Everything was clean and room was very spacious. Host was very responsive and helpful in helping me change my booking dates.

The staff has been very kind to me, allowing me to deposit my luggage and stay pretty longer in the public areas waiting for my transport. Also very nice in recommending places to eat.

They are very helpful and nice. Location is central. And rooms are big and clean.

Beautiful old stone building just off the main square, we felt really safe there, very helpful staff.

Cozy little hotel in a perfect location (right next to the Santa Catalina Monastery, make sure to visit). I chose a room on the street side because it was brighter and the noise wasn’t too bad with the windows closed. The rooftop terrace overlooking the city had plenty of tables and good WiFi, it was a lovely spot to get some work done.

Exceptional! Incredibly kind stuff working with passion and smile all the time. Helped us organise trips and we could feel like home.
