Econunay Hostels, hotel in Arequipa

Situated in the Historical Center district of Arequipa with a terrace and a bar, Econunay Hostels offers accommodation with free WiFi. The property is located 700 metres from Policlínico...

Econunay hostels in Arequipa struck the perfect balance between being chill and social, which can be hard to find in hostels. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making it an easy place to relax. There’s a free breakfast in the morning, and the evening activities on the rooftop are great for meeting people and socialising. It’s centrally located, has a solid kitchen if you want to cook, and a co-working space if you need to get some work done. I stayed in a comfy private room that had everything I needed at a great price. I’d happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Arequipa. P.s.. Book a ticket out of Arequipa or you might end up like me keeping on extending because it was that good!

    Peruvians are very nice people but Hilda is simply the best. With a big smile, always willing to help. Hostel in a great location, close to an excellent restauracja , with the possibility of leaving your luggage during trekking in the canyon, with a wide range of excursions and the possibility of doing laundry. If you don't need the standard of a top hotel, this is the place for you. Muchos gracias Hilda!

    Extremely good value - cheaper than a lot of hostel dorm rooms and a perfectly nice room for the money. Maybe not as central as other places but a short walk to the main historical area. Staff really friendly and helpful too and accommodating re: leaving luggage.

    Chamo and Anita are wonderful hosts and they keep a very welcoming place. They clearly enjoy meeting people and make sure everyone is enjoying their stay and are on hand if there are any issues. Most people staying there were couples in their 20s and it had a youth hostel vibe.

    Loved staying here. Its location is ideal, the beds are very comfy and it felt extremely safe. the front door is always locked and someone needs to let you in. They do a good job of keeping track of who is coming and going to. It is very much a backpackers hostel and very lowkey.

    One of if not the best hostels we’ve stayed at in the whole of South America. It is basic and simple but that doesn’t matter when it is such good value for money. Everything was perfectly clean, including the shared bathroom. This is in the best location possible in the city, really safe and super central - right next to the main square and all tourist attractions. A simple breakfast included which was nice.
