Fantastic hotel!

What a special place! Cirqa is gorgeous. The attention to detail in unmatched. The staff is great. The restaurant's dishes are delicious. The whole design is beautiful. We absolutely loved our stay and would love going back! The location is also very good. A very short walk to the main square and so many restaurants. Very safe.

It is a beautiful hotel, and the food is truly amazing. The surroundings are not that great. You are in the heart of downtown, the people look a bit sketchy. Best not to walk around at night time.

If you can, go there, it is totally worth it.

CIRQA is among the best of the best, it is another level compared to other hotels in Arequipa. I would like to keep it for myself but it would be selfish. You have to go there before it gets more expensive.

Precio vs exclusividad

Las instalaciones son muy agradables, pero, cuando uno quiere usarlas, reciben personas de afuera uno se queda sin opción de uso. El costo de exclusividad no compensa. No volveria a ir.
