Perfect place to stay in the center of Arequipa, with the garden which is a little paradise, nice hosts and great service. The hotel is made of Sillar, a beautiful and thick rock, which makes the noise isolation great, the insulation too, but can limit the wifi speed in some rooms (if you go there for work, tell them, they will give you a room where the network is perfect).

Hôtel merveilleux! irréprochable! Imbattable!

Hôtel surprenant avec un charme fou... Derrière la façade simple, une succession de jardins intérieurs vous amènent aux différents appartements coloniaux en pierres volcaniques . Pourrait- être une attraction touristique tellement il reflète l'âme et la particularité architecturale de la Ville. Merveilleux! Le service irréprochable s'ajoute au reste. Parfait!

Séjour parfait, rapport qualité/prix au top! Le lieu est vraiment plein de charme. Évitez de prendre une chambre côté rue car très bruyant avec les voitures. La chambre était pas toute neuve (carreau cassé et robinet de douche qui commence à vieillir) Mais nous le recommandons. De plus le personnel était vraiment adorable.

La Casa de Melgar : Service with a big smile

La Casa de Melgar is in a beautiful old building. Breakfast, with a selection of fruit, juices, yoghurt, bread as well as ham, cheese and eggs is served in a boring area, although you can have it in the beautiful garden. The rooms have very high ceilings which can turn the room quite chilly in the evening (there is no heating, so make sure that the sun warms up the room during the day) The shower is good, but unfortunately too much water was spilled before it was warm/hotthe area is quite close to the Plaza de Armas and Santa Catalina monastery and next door is a great pizzeria and close by are a coffee house/Biergarten and very good laundrette. Staff was just amazing.

Hôtel de charme à deux pas du centre historique

Hôtel très bien situé, à quelques minutes à pieds du centre historique. Nous sommes arrivés tôt le matin après un trajet de nuit et le personnel a été très accommodant, notre chambre était prête au moment où nous sommes arrivés (sans frais supplémentaire). Nous étions dans une chambre à l'étage avec vue sur un des volcans. La chambre était spacieuse et propre. L'eau était chaude et le lit était de bonne qualité. Il n'y a pas de chauffage la nuit, bien que les températures descendent assez bas, mais deux couvertures en laine et un gros duvet ont fait largement l'affaire (on a même eu trop chaud !). L'hôtel en lui-même a beaucoup de charme et ses jardins sont magnifiques. Aucun bruit ne filtrait des rues avoisinantes. Le petit déjeuner consiste en un buffet très complet. C'est probablement l'un des meilleurs que nous ayons eu au cours de nos vacances. Le personnel ne parle pas anglais.

Loved the atmosphere at this unique hotel. The rooms were designed around the colonial stone architecture, and the community breakfast nook in the courtyard/garden was a beautiful, tranquil oasis with flowers and hummingbirds, and tasty eggs to order. The gentleman at the front desk was very helpful to arrange transportation.

Charming but iffy on cleanliness

Check in was fine but it looked like the front desk guy checked the bathroom just then to see if it was OK. He thought it was but it wasn't. In addition to the old condition of the towels, gray and tattered, there was actually what looked like blood splattered on one. The sheets looked mostly clean, very small pillows, but on the cover there were many stains and hairs on the inner layers of covers. Yes we could have asked to switch rooms or have it fixed but it was the end of a long travel day and we were exhausted. Bring a pack towel and shower slippers and check your room thoroughly. We checked out a day early.
