Popular points of interest near the hostel include Yanahuara Church, Umacollo Stadium and Melgar Stadium. The nearest airport is Rodríguez Ballón International Airport, 7 km from Maison Verte - Budget Edition.

Really nice staff and a great location. We planned our trip to Colca Canyon with them and it was very easy and the owner was really helpful with all the details - they even made sure they were awake at 3.30am in case we had any problems with the bus picking us up. Such a good atmosphere - really fun bar and a great Halloween party! There is also a simple but nice breakfast on the lovely roof terrace in the mornings and the location is really close to central Arequipa. The staff really made us feel welcome and took us out on the town for a great night. Can’t recommended this place enough!

Very friendly hostel with warm helpful staff who make an effort to remember your name giving it a family feel. Breakfast is very social as everyone sits around a table together so easy to meet other people. Has a kitchen for guests. Downstairs room a little cold at night but extra blankets are available. The evenings are quiet, definitely not a party place . Staff want out of their way to make sure myself and others could extend despite being full by even repurposing a private room as a dorm

Featuring a fully equipped common kitchen and a terrace with panoramic volcano views, Park Hostel offers free Wi-Fi and Continental breakfast in Arequipa. The main square is a 5-minute walk away.

Providing a tranquil environment, the rooms in Park Hostel feature either private or shared bathroom facilities with 24-hour hot water.

Price was excellent for a room with everything I need. Basic, but that is all I needed. The staff were very nice and helpful. When it came to transportation to and from the airport they not only knew/recommended trusted services, they also made sure to look after you and ensure that drivers gave a solid/agreed upon price. The latter part is something I rarely see hotel owners/operators do. Highly recommended. The location was also great and one can easily walk to the Plaza de Armas, Plaza San Francisco, and great restaurants like Chicha and Victoria Picanteria within 10 minutes or so.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    The place is very close to the main square some shops around. Staff is very friendly and helpful and you can book excursions directly with them at a fair price. The common places such as breakfast is really nice as it kind of encourages meeting new people around the hostel which is really nice for a solo traveler

    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.
