In Peru's second-most populous city, aka "The White City," stunning colonial buildings made of pearly sillar stone vie for attention with the surrounding volcanoes and snow-capped peaks of the western Andes. Founded in 1540, it's a smorgasbord of mansions and museums. The top attraction, 215,000-square-foot Santa Catalina Monastery, is like its own city within a city, complete with fountains and cobblestone streets. Arequipa is the favorite base for visiting Colca Canyon and its massive condors.

Great deal, only a block away from Plaza del armas and the cathedral, the staff is friendly and Maya the dog is the best ! Showers are hot and consistent.

This monument, artistic inheritance of Arequipa in located on Mercaderes St. the main street of the city. This hous built in the early eighteenth century was occupied by colonial authorities. This monument is a real expression of the history of Arequipa for its unique construction material called sillar, a volcanic lava stone of porous nature.Our Service, your best Recommendation.
I booked before with other hotel but the hotel is located in the second floor with a lot of stairs and not friendly at all if you are traveling with with elder people and didn't wanted to help with the suitcase. I booked El Conquistador and it was the best decision. Although we had to stay at the second floor (but we booked on last minute) the stairs were way more friendlier for my family, the staff was always willing to support, I felt safe (the staff takes seriously the covid safety measures) . The photos of the room in Booking doesn't reflect the size of the room and the bathroom (they're bigger). The location is perfect, because is close to the city center. They have really nice shared areas and a good breakfast (they asked you the time that you will take it in order that is not crowded for covid safety reasons). Thank you very much to the staff, they were great!

I cannot rate this hostel highly enough. The staff are always friendly and helpful... The location is perfect being one block from the main square and the facilities are great. The biggest thing I want to mention though is the experience I had when my suitcase broke... We were at another hostel to start with, which was rubbish so i found mango, and while moving our luggage here, one of the wheel broke off my suitcase.. I wanted to try and fix it before replacing so I asked the guy at the desk ( who it turned out was the owner) if they had a few tools I could borrow... Not only did he lend me tools, but he came to help me repair it, and when I needed a few bolts to finish the repair, insisted on going off himself to source them for me... And he didn't even charge me!!! This is one kindest and best examples of customer service I've ever had!! So to talk more about the joint... - perfectly clean rooms - private bathroom with HOT shower - free breakfast, simple but good. - lovely atmosphere - large lounge with TV and Netflix - Roof sun terrace with loungers, hammocks, chairs and a pool table - cold beer, coffee and other drinks available on site at good rates - lives up to the 24hr front desk and English speaking - great security, you need to be buzzed in by the desk - best and safest luggage storage we've come across. - comfy beds Honestly I could go on forever... Best hostel we've used in our 2months in Peru!

I stayed at Ariquipay Backpackers for 2 nights in between my Colca Canyon Tour and had a good time there. The staff is incredible, always super helpful, the breakfast was simple but very good (boiled eggs with bread, butter and jam) and the rooms/bathrooms were clean. 100% recommended

Here at Econunay Hostels, we want to give you more than just an average backpacker experience. We invite you to come, kick your shoes off, feel at home, and enjoy exchanging cultures and lifestyles. Econunay is conveniently located in the beautiful neighborhood of Vallecito. It's a quick 7 minute walk from the main square of the city.
I came in without reservation, but this was no problem and was welcomed very friendly. Cosy atmosphere and I like the tree in the courtyard. Just to make clear, this is not a partyhostel but a good way to prepare or get some rest for various treks in the region .

We are located in a quiet 1860 colonial house built with white volcanic stone, conveniently located near Santa Catalina, museums and only 3 blocks away from Plaza De Armas. Arequipa´s best night activities such as clubs, bars, casinos and restaurants are also within few minutes from us. We provide services such as internet, laundry, fax, security box and tourist information.
this hotel was wonderful and accommodating and clean. we arrived by overnight by bus and were very tired in the morning but the staff brought us breakfast (helped me discover how much I enjoy Altomayo instant coffee - yum!), which enjoyed from our balcony and watched the sunrise. Our only regret was not booking enough time here and in Arequipa - seriously considering returning just to explore the city more and absolutely would stay here again. I had to work the day we were here and the wifi was strong enough for my work most of the time. Very safe location and they stopped my partner when she entered and didn’t notify them who she was, which we understood and appreciated. We also checked out very early the following day and they were equally as accommodating and friendly as when we arrived. Very close to city center and lots of accessible walking to historical and cultural sites of interest.

I stayed 3 nights at this hostel and i really enjoyed it. De room was very big and clean. It's in a kind of colonial building. Al rooms, toilets and shower are around the "plaza" of the hostel. Very nice place where you can always find someone of the family. Feels like home. My spanish is not good, but with google translate and a lot of laugh, the owner helps me with everything. She, and her family, are really nice. The location is perfect! You can walk easily to all the best parts of town. I really recommend this place for visiting Arequipa!

Peru’s second largest city, Arequipa is a friendly destination with lots to offer. Surrounded by three volcanoes, “The White City” serves up an amazing culinary scene, colonial architecture, and thrilling adventure sports. Hike the Colca canyon – one of the deepest in the world – visit the city’s stunning cathedral, and be sure to try some spicy stuffed peppers! Selina Arequipa is in the center of it all. Step out into Centro Historico to visit churches, bars, restaurants, and cafes – the very best this city has to offer! Enjoy our community right in the heart of the action.
The hotel was clean and rooms were comfortable. To note this is more like a hostel very young, with music and parties. The location is good a few blocks from the centre. Breakfast is pretty poor to be honest. There is limited breakfast included (if paid), not much choice and not very big. They charge you extra for most things.
