Hostel für über 200 Leute, schlechte Luft im Zentrum.
Pros:

Tolle Gäste, hilfsbereites Personal, sehr gutes Frühstück und super Restaurant. Nette Rooftopbar

Cons:

Um 11:00 vormittags quollen im Zimmer und Korridorklos die Eimer über mit benutztem Klopapier. Abgase von Straße ziehen ins Zimmer, Dieselgestank. Boxen ganz schlecht belüftet.

Melhor hostel que ja fiquei, vale o preço
Pros:

Extremamente limpo, tanto o quarto quanto o banheiro, ter um banheiro exclusivo pro quarto feminino é comodo e privativo! Mesmo sendo um hostel de festas, as instalações tem isolamento fazendo com que o som não atrapalhe no sono!

The service at reception was particularly disappointing. The receptionist lacked the warmth, professionalism, and basic
Pros:

The pool and location are good

Cons:

Disappointing experience. From my perspective, El Viajero Arequipa seems more focused on generating revenue from its guests than on making them feel welcome, comfortable, and satisfied with their stay.

The service at reception was particularly disappointing. The receptionist lacked the warmth, professionalism, and basic customer-service skills I would expect from someone in such a Host position. A receptionist is essentially the face of the hostel and sets the tone for the entire guest experience. Unfortunately, her attitude did not make us feel welcome or well taken care of, which raises concerns about the overall level of hospitality at the property.

Another issue was the policy regarding drinks in the common areas. The pool and terrace have a bar, but guests are not allowed to bring in beverages from outside, not even something as basic as water or a soft drink. This essentially forces guests to purchase drinks from the bar, where prices are considerably higher. I understand wanting to encourage guests to use the bar, but restricting even basic refreshments in a common area feels excessive.

The terrace and the view are beautiful, and it may be a nice place to stop by for a drink and enjoy the scenery. However, as a lodging experience, I would not recommend it. In my opinion, the hostel needs a much stronger focus on hospitality, guest satisfaction, and making people feel genuinely welcome.
