Mint Hotel offers rooms with free Wi-Fi in Arequipa, only a 5-minute drive from the city main square. A daily a la carte breakfast is offered.

Rooms at Mint are equipped with TVs with cable channels and minibars. Some rooms include terraces. Featuring a shower, private bathrooms also come with free toiletries and towels. Extras include a desk and a safety deposit box.

The service was impeccable. We arrived early but was still allowed to check in before the check in time. The location is about 5-10 minute drive from down town but that meant it was a great location away from the noise and hustle and bustle. The included breakfast was also top notched and not just your boring continental breakfast. You chose from crepes, chicharronnes, sandwiches, and omelets. The front desk personnel were amazing and helped us get taxies. Lastly, the rooms were extremely comfortable and the beds were also very comfortable. The rooms had hot and warm water pressure, we'd totally go there again if we were staying in Arequipa.

    Great location, easy to get around the main old town but also in a quieter spot. Amazing cafe serving the best flat white is opposite plus other restaurants and bars. But we especially loved how cosy the hotel was after a challenging hike. The bed was comfortable, the room well designed and in good condition. Plus, we were able to shower when other friends of our had issues with water at their accommodation (apparently the town ran out!). The staff was helpful and very nice. Lovely breakfast and good price. Would recommend!

    This hotel was fantastic, very clean and well-designed. The rooms are big and comfortable, and the windows facing the plaza give you a feel that you are in the mix of it all. Breakfast is lovely, with lots of options, and again, a great view for dining. We only stayed the one night for a nice upgrade and would recommend any travellers that are looking for comfort that doesn't break the bank.
