Perfecte locatie voor verblijf in Arequipa. Op centrale plein, vlakbij alles.
Pros:

Waren met 5 personen.
1 kamer was fantastisch met balkon en uitzicht op plein.
2e kamer was achterkant, met 2 heel kleine raampjes zonder enig zicht. Beetje donker en ingesloten maar wel heel ruim.
Maar verschil tussen de 2 kamers was wel groot.

Cons:

Kamer aan de achterzijde

Pros:

Location Great!

Cons:

No windows or aircon in the rooms. The room we stayed in was weirdly structured. There we 2 windows missing. Stairs to get there was hectic with bags, was a nightmare with no help from the staff to actually take them up. The door to the room didn't lock.

Beautiful stay in central Arequipa
Pros:

Very beautiful room, we had the one with great view over the central square. Bed very comfortable. Hot shower also. It was my birthday and upon request they made some tasty pancakes for a nice birthday breakfast.

Cons:

The hotel is very quiet and the staff is not really social, at least not with us as English speaking guests. We would have enjoyed more interaction with the staff. We were not asked if we needed any recommendations, tips or help.

Pros:

Struttura dove la piazza principale, personale molto gentile e disponibile. Unica pecca la moquette per terra e le camere al secondo piano senza ascensore che con le valigie pesanti diventa un po’ faticoso

Encanto colonial y una experiencia memorable
Pros:

Nuestra estancia en este hotel fue excelente. Nos encantó el estilo colonial del lugar, lleno de detalles, historia y un ambiente muy acogedor. El personal fue siempre amable, atento y dispuesto a hacer que nuestra experiencia fuera lo más agradable posible.

La limpieza de las habitaciones y de las áreas comunes fue impecable, y la ubicación es ideal para recorrer los principales atractivos de la ciudad. Además, destacamos la belleza de la arquitectura y la tranquilidad del hotel, que crean un ambiente único para descansar y disfrutar.

Sin duda, es un lugar con mucho encanto y personalidad, totalmente recomendable para quienes buscan una experiencia especial.
