An outstanding stay with excellent service, comfort, and an unbeatable location.
Pros:

I had an outstanding two-night stay at Katari Hotel in Arequipa. The location overlooking Plaza de Armas was absolutely exceptional. The room was elegant, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The staff were professional, friendly, and attentive to every detail. The service throughout the hotel was impeccable. I was especially impressed by the atmosphere and beautiful colonial character of the property. The breakfast was excellent, with a great selection and high-quality food. The views of the Plaza de Armas and surrounding city were unforgettable. Everything was perfectly organized and exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Katari Hotel and would gladly return on my next visit to Arequipa.

Cons:

I had absolutely nothing negative to say about my stay. Everything was comfortable, clean, and perfectly organized. The service and facilities fully met my expectations. Overall, it was an excellent and memorable experience.

Schönes Hotel im Zentrum mit traumhaftem Blick von der Dachterrasse

Sensationelle Lage direkt am Hauptplatz, mit Blick auf Kathedrale und Vulkane von der Dachterrasse. Das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Das Frühstück war sehr gut; Abendessen auf der Terrasse ist ebenso zu empfehlen.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer war einfach, aber recht ordentlich.

Terrazza sulle ande 🤩
Pros:

Tutto perfetto 🤩🤩, camere ampie ben arredate ed eleganti, staff puntuale e disponibilissimo. Albergo di nuova realizzazione quindi tutto funzionante e ben ristrutturato, posizione unica ad arequipa. Terrazza con ristorante e bar con vista ande (e vulcano misti) e cattedrale in piazza delle migliori della citta. Colazione buona seppur nn abbondantissimo servita in terrazza.

Cons:

Il n'y a pas mieux pour Arequipa
Pros:

Nous avons choisi ce logement pour son emplacement sur la place principale. De ce fait nous avons pu visiter Arequipa à pieds. Nous l'avons également choisi pour la vue dégagée sur la place, la ville et le volcan. Le rooftop est accessible tout le temps. Le petit déjeuner est délicieux et si vous devez partir tôt ils vous en fournissent un à emporter.
L'agence de location de voiture pour visiter le parc national est à 20 mètres à pieds ce qui est vraiment top.
Le matin de notre départ ils nous avaient prévu un taxi pour l'aéroport.
Le personnel est adorable et serviable, un vrai plus ! Notre meilleur hôtel au Pérou.

Cons:

Nous étions deux et avons du espacer nos douches car l'eau chaude manquait un peu.
