to get started.

I really enjoyed my stay at Arequipay. The staff is really friendly, they make you feel home and they were also very helpful with planning Chachani. It's very clean and the facilities are perfect. There is a really well equipped kitchen, a common area to have breakfast (bread, jam, bananas, oats, coffee.. ) or to hang out during the day and there's also a cosy backyard. Can't wait to come back someday soon :)

Really enjoyed how the beds had privacy curtains on them. Also the staff was very accommodating in letting me check in early around 9 am after my night bus came in. Kitchen was also really nice and had lots of amenities. Breakfast is nice with yummy bread, banana and coffee and tea available all day.

After 1 loud night in Wild Rover this was a great start. Kind & patient staff, easy going fun environment with a lot of common areas & easy going people. The bathrooms are well kept and spacious!!

Staff were friendly and helpful with booking tours. Location was close to the plaza but far enough that it was very quiet at night. Beds were comfy but probably getting to the end of their life. Fairly social vibe. Breakfast was long, but also very simple. Definitely would recommend booking your colca canyon adventure through this hostel.

We had been staying outside of the main area of Arequipa, so only used Areqipay Backpackers as a stop before an early Peru Hop bus the next morning, but the staff were great and all common areas inc bathrooms were clean and tidy as well as our bedroom. Suited our needs perfectly.

The dorm on the first floor is noisy, because it's close to the entrance, just be aware!
Breakfast on the day you arrive, friendly staff, they let me sleep in the TV room cause I arrived by bus super early, storage room, a lot of rooms for entertainment!

WiFi has to be improved. It's slow it can give the hostel one more bullet.
Really friendly and cosy please. Really happy. If you want to avoid the usual party hostels, that's the place. Hot shower, comfy beds, really clean. Breakfast and kitchen. The staff is nice and really helpful. Free yoga class in the morning and the garden is really nice. The TV is great to watch movies and sports. There is a funny dog. :)
