Raymi House Hostel has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Arica. Located around 2 km from Chinchorro Beach, the hostel with free WiFi is also 2.7 km away from El Laucho Beach. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests.

Friendly staff. The property is within walking distance of everything. 5 or 10 minutes away from a big grocery store, lots of small shops all around. The central area of the city is maybe 10 or 15 minutes away to the most. The bus station is 20 minutes walk away to the most. The property itself is brand new, spotlessly clean. Great shared kitchen with everything one needs to cook. Nice property, well taken care of and secure. The filtered water always available was a nice touch that we appreciated. Hot water always available in the bathrooms. The owners also help arrange tours, if you need to. Just a warning for other travelers - if you want to go to Parque Nacional Lauca, most agencies won't go during the week and will only do them towards the end of the week or weekend. But there's still lots to do in the city without that.

Dora, the hostess, is going to take great care of you. She showers you with motherly love and makes you feel cared for. Lively yet peaceful, carnival and calm coexist in the hostel. Right next to the beach, has great options for food nearby. Felt safe for myself and my belongings throughout my stay. Arica feels much better when you stay here.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel is brand new with very nice design and great atmosphere. The owners are amazing and very helpful. The rooms are super comfortable and very clen same as bathrooms. The kitchen is very well equipped. And location is also nice close to restaurant and not far from beach. I will definitely recommend and I hope to come back.

    The hostel has a nice garden and common area, kitchen, beds are quite comfortable. It's located close to the morro hill and to a big supermarket, 30 min walking from bus terminal. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was more or less quite. It's nice and safe atmosphere.

    Very quiet and cozy place to stay near the beach. Far away from noisy streets and highways, but close enough to the town centre. Hospitable hosts who know some English. Rooms are spacey enough. Nice place for those seeking safe and comfortable accomodation, and yet to stay on a budget.
