Very comfortable stay in Arequipa
Pros:

We enjoyed very much our stay in the hotel. This small hotel has a simple but nice design. Our room had a very comfortable bed- we slept there very well. It was very quiet too.
The breakfast on the rooftop with the beautiful view at the volcano was also very nice. We had some Good coffee and bread, fresh vegetables and fruit. The staff was very friendly!
We liked the hotel a lot so we stayed here twice during our trip.

Cons:

You have to be patient when taking the shower- it takes long to get hot water. The rooms are also quite cold (no heating). But there are plenty of blankets to use for the night.

Excelente relación calidad/precio en San Lázaro
Pros:

La habitación es espaciosa y muy cómoda, había una pequeña nevera. En el tercer piso tenía vistas de la ciudad. El desayuno muy completo.

Cons:

Tener que llamar cada vez que quieres entrar. Estaría bien tener una llave de la entrada para tener más independencia.

Muy buena opcion si deseas quedarte por San Lazaro
Pros:

El sitio es muy bonito, y tiene unas buenas vistas desde la terraza. El desayuno es basico pero tiene lo que necesitas y tipo buffet. Los cuartos son amplios y comodos, y aunque algo basicos tienen su propio baño. El staff se ofrecio a guardarnos las maletas durante el dia tambien, lo que fue de gran ayuda, y nos permitieron hacer un early check-in puesto que nuestra habitacion estaba lista. Relacion calidad-precio es muy buena.
