Lock in a great price for Arequipay Backpackers Downtown – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

The bathrooms are spacious, there’s a kitchen if you want to cook.

L, United Kingdom

Very social hostel where it is easy to meet other backpackers. Friendly staff and there were lockers and plugs for every bed (4-bed dorm). I would definitely stay here again if I came back to Arequipa!

Emma, Sweden

One of the better breakfasts. Rooms were decent sized. Good hangout areas both inside and outside.

Marcie, Australia

Very friendly and helpful staff, great atmosphere, everybody gathers around the (free) breakfast table daily to share their stories, very easy to make new friends.

How big it was. It has several different corners and common spaces, making it easy to get some alone time. The garden. The tv room with netflix. The fact that the beds have curtains. How clean it was.

The best place! The staff is amazing and the place too! I recommend it!

Best hostel breakfast I had in 4 months South America for 12 Soles (10 different kinds of fruits, eggs, choices of bread and fresh juices.. ). They also offer good dinner, drinks, laundry service and airport transfers; everything very reasonably priced (taxi at the airport is more expensive!). Staff is friendly, english-speaking and super helpful. Both the dorms and the private were extremely clean and have everything you need (lockers, plugs, hot showers, etc). The common areas are also awesome (pool table, kitchen, TV room, rooftop terrace). Highly recommended!

The location is a bit far from the main square. As a solo traveller I didn’t like walking back there at night and moved to a more central location after a couple of nights. The rooms are a bit cramped and not all have windows.
The bathrooms are spacious, there’s a kitchen if you want to cook.

The woman at the front desk the evening of 10/23 was very rude. Did not care or apologize for promising me a backpack for my colca canyon trek the next day which was still wet so I had to go buy one at 10 pm. The same happened to a girl with walking poles. Sick of bread and jam everyday.

The breakfast. Its kinda awkward that they put the food on the same table where you are supposed to sit down to it, which means the table is usually crowded and its hard to get to the food without bumping or bothering someone.
How big it was. It has several different corners and common spaces, making it easy to get some alone time. The garden. The tv room with netflix. The fact that the beds have curtains. How clean it was.

The area is not the safest at night, but during the day it is fine and it is very close to the airport. Also you have basically everything you need in the hostel. So if you arrive with a taxi there is no problem at all.

Location is decent (approx. 10min walk to city center).
Facilities are clean, breakfast is very good and staff are very friendly. You can book pretty much all tours in the hostel which is very convenient. We did the 2-day Colca Canyon which was awesome.
