3-Star Hotels in Arequipa, Peru

Nice decor and styling in the rooms, large and comfortable bed (we had a private room just a bit back from the pool area). The inclusion of a fridge was a plus point. The cleaning staff were helpful and courteous. When we checked in, the guys working reception helped us up to the room with our luggage (I had been volunteering in Arequipa for 2 months prior so had a few bags). However, when I asked on our way out if they had anyone available to help take our luggage to the taxi, it was a hard “no ofrecemos ese servicio” 😕 So I guess it depends who’s working that day as to what level of service you get. The bar area around the pool was nice with lots of seating options to chill out, but the water in the pool was absolutely freezing and even cold water swimmers wouldn’t be in there much more than 10 minutes! I removed quite a lot of bugs during my swim, so a regular clean with a net wouldn’t go amiss. The worst aspect of this place was the obnoxiously loud and unrelenting music. I couldn’t even get peace and quiet in our private bathroom. I get that the poolside party is their vibe, but I really don’t think they need quite so many hours of it in their schedule. With retrospect, I’d have chosen a quieter hotel. Finally, we booked a massage. I thought it would be a nice way to round off our trip, the price was equivalent to about £30 GBP which I thought was a good deal. I’d had an excellent massage at Selina in Baños, Ecuador, so I was looking forward to it. Well, both my massage (hot stones) and the one my boyfriend had (regular massage) were so comically bad that we still joke about it 6 months later. I asked the masseuse in fluent Spanish 5 times and in a variety of different ways to really use a bit more pressure, but no…. the two of us spent an hour each being half-heartedly rubbed with oil by someone who clearly had received very little training and was unable to locate any knots, any areas of tension, anything. I actually left more tense than I went in! I did tell the reception so I sincerely hope they have recruited a new massage therapist. Overall, there are some benefits to Selina such as the relative proximity to the city centre whilst also having a pool. However, I wouldn’t rush back and didn’t find it quite as good as the other Selinas I’ve stayed in in Central and South America.

Perfect location, a few minutes from the central Plaza. Quick walk to a large variety of restaurants. We arrived early, so our room wasn't yet ready, but we wandered around town for a few hours and the woman at the front desk texted us when the room was ready. All the front desk people were very helpful in recommending restaurants -- we planned to try the hotel restaurant but it doesn't open until 7 and we were always too hungry to wait. A few things to know: there's no air conditioning in the rooms and it got very hot when the sun beat through the windows in the afternoon. Fortunately it cools off considerably at night. Also there was a loud bar/disco close by because there was loud music playing until about midnight. The location and price were perfect, so I would be happy to stay here again.

I had a best massage with Bianca. Before coming to Aranwa Colac I had massages at couple of places in Peru. Bianca by far was the best. She knew her massage techniques well and was professional. My chronic lower back soreness was gone and I felt fantastic after the massage. Thank you Bianca. You were the best.

Our family of four stayed here in November. The accommodations were wonderful and the staff were very helpful. Plenty of hot water and warm blankets for the cool temperatures. Beware of the altitude. The town of Chicago sits at nearly 12000 feet and we felt altitude sickness. The hotel has an ATM, a clothing store, an evening traditional dance performance, and a wonderful restaurant. Lis and Paula were very helpful and ensured our stay was comfortable. We would love to come back!

1⃣️ Service: Stayed for four days, the front desk and the staff who made breakfast in the morning were very enthusiastic, the service I needed was satisfied, the meal that was not finished outside at noon, the microwave oven was borrowed at night, the pizza that was not finished in the morning, and a bag was needed to be packed away. They were very enthusiastic and responded to my request. 2⃣️ Network: WiFi computer is OK, mobile phone is too slow, I feel that this is a common problem in Peru 3⃣️ Location: In the most prosperous place in the city, there are many barber shops 💈, gourmet shops, very close to the weapons square and very convenient 4⃣️ Experience of living: It was very quiet at 10 pm, the hotel decoration was very modern, there was free water, hot water, coffee, local tea downstairs can be self-service, if you work, the table is a bit high Considering the price, overall it is still worth it

Beautiful views and excellent location. Exceptional customer service. Big clean rooms and bathrooms. Breakfast served every morning. Will coordinate any and all tours with transportation. Staff was very helpful and helped us with anything we needed. Definitely recommend staying here while visiting Colca Canyon.

located close to everything, this hotel is perfect for a sightseeing visit. the rooms are neat and clean. the staff listens. the breakfasts included in the reservation are generous, served on a rooftop which offers a view of the Misti volcano.

The hotel was absolutely perfect in every way! So spotlessly clean, super comfortable bed and pillows, amazing shower, great supply of shampoo, soap and conditioner, laundry service. Included in the very reasonable price is a superb breakfast with many choices of main and endless supply of coffee, tea as well as fruit, juice, bread and sweets. The staff was so friendly, accommodating, professional and available 24 hours a day. Situated in a very quiet neighbourhood with a wonderful view from the restaurant windows. I would not hesitate to totally recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Arequipa. Definitely 5 stars!

This hotel is great, the location in the plaza de arms makes it perfect for sight-seeing. There are no cars allowed so cannot be dropped out directly outside, but the hotel have an amazing team member called Roberto who ferried out cases back and forth for us. We also had an issue with one of the cases being damaged and again the hotel team went out of their way to try and help make it good for us, as we still had a lot of travelling to do. Our room was lovely we were at the top of the hotel so a partial view of the cathedral. The roof top pool was also an amazing extra and again the view was superb. The team at this hotel really made it for us they were welcoming, friendly and went above and beyond to help us out.

A small, clean, spacious hotel with a great staff. Zuhei took care of us for dinner in the lobby restaurant out 1st night in Arequipa and took amazing care of us, treating us like family. She is a treasure! Looking forward to our 3 nights at the hotel as well as meals in the restaurant.
