awesome hostel, on of the best ones we have stayed at during our 4 months of travel. we stayed in a 14-people dorm room, but the fact that the beds all had curtains made it feel private in your own little ‘pod’. we could store our bags here without charge during our Colca canyon 3-day trek. wifi was great.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Nice and comfortable hotel in a great location. 5 mins walk to Plaza de Armas and felt very safe at all times. Arequipa in general felt very safe. Make sure you book the rooftop jacuzzi for some relaxation with magical view of the volcanoes. Very good breakfast in the courtyard. Good restaurants nearby.

    Chamo and Anita are wonderful hosts and they keep a very welcoming place. They clearly enjoy meeting people and make sure everyone is enjoying their stay and are on hand if there are any issues. Most people staying there were couples in their 20s and it had a youth hostel vibe.

    Loved staying here. Its location is ideal, the beds are very comfy and it felt extremely safe. the front door is always locked and someone needs to let you in. They do a good job of keeping track of who is coming and going to. It is very much a backpackers hostel and very lowkey.

    One of if not the best hostels we’ve stayed at in the whole of South America. It is basic and simple but that doesn’t matter when it is such good value for money. Everything was perfectly clean, including the shared bathroom. This is in the best location possible in the city, really safe and super central - right next to the main square and all tourist attractions. A simple breakfast included which was nice.
