Un excellent choix, pour son calme, son confort et sa position stratégique !
Pros:

Une chambre spacieuse et confortable, bien chauffée, donnant au calme sur une cour minuscule mais lumineuse tout de même. Lit grand et confortable. Minibar et un bureau. Salle d'eau de bonne taille offrant une super douche à l'italienne très spacieuse et au jet d'eau puissant. Grand silence dans l'hôtel, très appréciable pour dormir. Petit-déjeuner (de qualité) sur la terrasse de l'hôtel, avec une vue majestueuse sur la place d'armes, la cathédrale et les volcans en toile de fond.

Cons:

Nous n'avons aucune remarque ou critique à formuler

Ne chercher pas, c'est cet hôtel qu'il vous faut
Pros:

Meilleur emplacement de la ville, Une vue à couper le souffle sur la plaza de armas et sur les volcans entourant la ville. Notre chambre, la suite présidentielle (je recommande absolument, n° 404) était superbe, le prix est très abordable.
Le personnel est aux petits soins. Le petit déjeuner sur la terrasse reste un excellent moment

Cons:

Rien, tout était impeccable

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

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.
