Great place in a good location
Pros:

The location was very convenient, few minutes from the main attraction. Breakfast was very good, they even prepared a packed breakfast when we had to leave early in the morning, which is a big bonus.

Zeer goed!
Pros:

Het was een ontzettend leuk opgezet hotel met een heerlijk buffetontbijt op het dakterras. Het centrum was ongeveer 5-10 minuutjes lopen. We mochten bij uitchecken onze bagage even achterlaten dus dat was ook erg prettig. Je kan ook niet zomaar het hotel in. Er zit altijd iemand om je binnen te laten na een belletje als beveiliging.

Cons:

De receptie sprak niet echt Engels dus dat was wat onhandig soms.

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.
