The experience in this place was just terrible. I got there with my mum on a Monday morning and immediately asked the guy at the reception for some information about tours in the Colca. He recommended a trekking tour of two days that the agency he (apparently) also works for was organizing. I very carefully asked him how the trekking would have been, cause my mum wasn’t in the perfect condition for too intense physical efforts. He assured me it would have been easy and she wouldn’t have had any problem. Turned out my mum almost passed away in the canyon during the trekking, because of the heat and the very hard hike, and we had to arrange an alternative solution for her to make her way back up on the mountain. It was very stressful and worrying, definitely not something we were wishing for. After all of this we got back to the hotel, sure to find the room we had booked way in advance waiting for us. Sure enough, after having us wait almost an hour in the reception the guy told me that another person was in that same room and that he couldn’t kick her out. I obviously complained about all that unbelievable situation and at the end of the story he moved us to another hotel he manages around the corner. Seriously nothing more uncomfortable and disappointing had ever happen to me before.
So, enjoy beautiful Arequipa but avoid carefully this place!

Impolite, fake and disorganized 

The room was clean, has a warm shower and the staff was friendly. The hostel has a lovely rooftop terrace where breakfast was served. Good value for money. It is centrally located. I would come back.. 

Good place to stay in Arequipa

Comfy beds, breakfast with tea/instant coffee, bread, jam and egg. Noisy, WIFI not working in all rooms, good location. Warm shower. 30 SOL per night per person is ok for my standards. Friendly staff, they guarded my backpack without charge :)

Price/quality ratio OK

We enjoyed 3 days here and can't fault it. The breakfast is tasty and served on the lovely roof terrace with views of the volcanoes.  The neighbourhood is relatively quiet but not too far from Plaza de Armas.  We booked a twin with shared bathroom and were given one with a private bathroom on check-in...we were also able to check in at 0830 in the morning having just got off a night bus - lovely touch!  Good internet accessible (just about) in our room, but otherwise available in common areas and on the patio in the sunshine!

Nice room, pleasant breakfast, friendly owners!

Good points:
Checking in with the older guy was pleasant and quick.  breakfast was good and rooftop area was fab.  Location is pretty good, within walking distance of everything

Bad points:
The young lad working on reception - he was the root of all our problems and really doesn't know a thing about customer service.  He just wants to use his phone all the time.  He wasn't interested in fixing a broken lock which meant we were locked out of the room.  He left us sitting in reception while he texted/played games!  He was rude every time we had a question, threw our laundry when we said we didn't need it folded neatly (it was way past the collection time and we were in a rush and trying to leave) and just generally a rubbish receptionist.
The rooms are very basic, no storage or hooks so all your stuff is on the floor.  
You can get a lot better for your money in Arequipa
