Hotel close to Plaza de Armas

Whatever you do, don't accept Room 118 or 116, they are Too close to the lobby and therefore very Loud. Also 118 Has no Windows. The only good thing here is the breakfast.

Two night trip to Arequipa

The stay was a longer one for such a quick city to see. The breakfast was good and plentiful. The water was hot and the room was always clean and well put together. There are no windows, so it does get really dark at night. The hallway is beautiful to the rooms, but the doors closing and the voices do echo down the hallway. The water heater was behind our room and would go off when anyone in the hotel would use hot water and that was loud. It kept me up all night one night. The front desk help was very friendly and helpful, but couldn't help the noise. It is a while walk down the hotel (20 minutes) from the Plaza.

Très bon petit déjeuner

Hotel qui a du charme. Le confort était supérieur aux autres hôtels du pays dans lesquels nous avons séjourné dans la même gamme de prix. Certaines chambres étaient en rénovation lors de notre passage. Très bon petit déjeuner sous forme de buffet avec jus et fruits frais. La place d'armes est à 10 min à pied. Pas de fenêtre directe sur l'extérieur (comme dans beaucoup d'hôtels du pays) mais sur le couloir principal ouvert sur l'extérieur.

Nice enough

Totally fine hotel. Rooms without windows, feels a bit strange. But do you really need windows i a hotel room? Isn't it better to go out to see the sights? Friendly and nice staff. In my brothers room they had forgotten to change the bedsheets when the room was cleaned. Mistakes can happen and when he told the reception it was fixed within 5-10 min and that's whats important. But one major downside the doors does nothing to keep noise out. That's a major issue. And the reason I give only 3

When we got there the hotel was empty. I got my reservation and the staff pretend that the hotel was completely full, and that the could not find my reservation, luckily for me I printed out the confirmation, and suddenly they found my reservation. No natural light in the rooms. We have to asked for hot water.
