    Milagros should be impartial with all guests regardless of the nationality, her xenofobic treatment was evident, only one of the guys at the reception desk was 100% polite. Some parts of the facilities have advanced mold growth, it smells and causes health problems with longer exposure.

    The other tourist make the stay more pleasant :) the kitchen personnel was polite.

    The room got very hot during the day, and the only way to get some air in was to open a big window with no curtains on street level.

    Good location, clean, very nice staff, good wifi and good price.

    I wasn't told from the first day about all of the areas of the hostel, I discovered the terrace on the top floor one week later because another host told me. I think that introduction wasn't fully well presented. I also think tourists do not receive what they should or not, they wake up early for tours and make a lot of noise, they left the lights on and tap open some times. Kind of messy people who need to be told clearly from the very beggining.

    The building,the terrace, the architecture, the view, the acces to the kitchen, the chill area.

    a lot of the things met our expectation, so i got no comments here.

    we booked the suite room and it is as beautiful as advertised. we love how it is close to downtown and a lot of the night life in Arequipa. there was also a speakeasy right next to the hotel that plays spanish songs all night long which we loved. water pressure was good and the bathtub works well. front desk was very accommodating to booking tours and activities. continental breakfast was also provided in the morning. there was also a gameroom with pool table thats open 24hrs.
