Hôtel situé en plein centre historique d'Arequipa, la proximité est un plus. Le personnel était arrangeant. La terrasse donne sur les volcans, c'est très sympa. Eau chaude et chambre propre. En revanche, notre chambre était située au rez-de-chaussée et c'était très bruyant. D'autres hôtes n'étaient pas respectueux et ont parlé fort jusque tard dans la soirée ainsi que très tôt le matin, nous empêchant de dormir car les chambres sont très mal isolée. Petit déjeuner basique mais correct. Enfin la lessive était cher, 10 soles/kg (peut-être car on a eu besoin un dimanche)
