    Nice location in the city center, comfy beds with curtains (that's important for me), quite good breakfast and possibility to leave your luggage;)

    My stay was decent; I managed to explore the surroundings and meet new people. However, the street

    The place also lacks activities for guests to interact, which somewhat diminished the social atmosphere. On the bright side, the facilities, including the kitchen and bathroom, were in acceptable conditions. One point worth mentioning is the absence of a good Wi-Fi signal, which can be inconvenient for those needing to work remotely. Unfortunately, we also didn't find suitable areas to work during our stay.

    I had a decent stay at the hostel. The breakfast, while not very varied, was available in a buffet format. The beds are equipped with curtains, providing ample privacy; however, there is a lot of noise coming from the busy street, with people talking, cars passing, and horns honking throughout the night.

    Although they had a bar advertised, it wasn't open for the 3 days we were there. The kitchen was quite small and could only fit 2 people at a time. They do need more toilets considering the amount of people staying. This place has great potential to be very social, however, as the bar wasn't open, we felt that there wasn't much of an atmosphere.

    The rooms were spacious with good sized lockers. Nice outdoor areas, very communal and can be social. Good location in Arequipa and friendly staff.

    You may need earplugs because it can get a little noisy in the street from time to time but they give it to you for free at the reception if you ask.

    Welcoming staff, clean, location right in the city centre, good breakfast, hot water, it's possible to store your bags for more days. For women's day they even left chocolate on the pillows for the girls.

    Probably the kitchen and the toilets are pretty far from the dormitory. Not enough culterly in the kitchen and sometimes dirty.

    Location is in the centre. Quality/price. The receptionists are pretty helpful. I want to underline the good job of a Venezuelan receptionist.

    There was so much love put into details and I loved that. I felt very comfortable in my room since the bed is very private and even the dorm room with a lot of beds in it was very spacious, so that unpacking my things wasn't complicated at all. Definitely an extraordinary experience compared to many other hostels.

    The staff organized a special little get together for all the guests on Xmas Eve. They even have us presents and champagne! The staff were always really friendly and helpful. The layout provides lots of space to be social or chill alone. It was very quiet after 10pm. The breakfast is totally adequate and there's a kitchen too. It's very minimal but did the job. Everyone I met there was lovely. Good social vibe but not a party place.

    The showers weren’t great and the kitchen is very small. The breakfast wasn’t great if you’re vegan, i preferred to go to the eco cafe just up the road

    Comfortable beds with curtains, personal lights and sockets and a little locker. The location is perfect to explore arequipa. They can book tours for you to colca canyon

    I was expecting some activities to socialize with other travelers, but I guess I didn't stay long enough to be part of it.

    The whole place is clean and cozy. Each bed has a curtain for privacy in sharing rooms. People there were really kind and helpful. Hot water 24h. Iron and hair dryer available for free. Remember to take a padlock with you for your locker. But, if you forget it as I did, you can buy one at the front desk.
