Reviews of Residencial Tres Soles

10 March 2010 Matthew would recommend this property

Liked: Location, value for money and even facilities always come into a rating I suppose, and quite rightly too. But the added candle on the cake was the reception by the owner, his daughter and his staff. When you are a million metaphorical miles from home and need a little direction to light up the path ahead, well Adolpho (I apologise if the spelling is wrong) gives you a great big torch that says I not only am confident that I now know where I am going nextm but I am absolutely delighted that I came here.Hail hailMatt

Liked: Excellent location for the bus terminal (national,international). Long walk to the centro, though walking directly to the centre and then up the morro is a good way to take a look at Arica in total, including from above. Only bed is included in the price. At time of writing, breakfast is another 3000 on top. Does provided hot snacks and drinks at extra cost too. There is a mini market very near and a supermarket (Santa Isabel) 10-15 mins walk north. Owner is helpful and knowledgeable for local info needs and also about international bus travel from Arica. I recommend this residence for a short stop in Arica, but if you plan to stay longer, I recommend something more central, cheaper and which includes breakfast.

Liked: I did a very late booking on Hostelbookers which should has been refused by the system. When I arrived very late at night (0.30 - 1.00), Adolfo and his sister were waiting for me and explained me they had a problem because all rooms were occupied (it was carnival in Arica and normally my reservation should not have been possible). Anyway they did their best to find an alternative and have spent a lot of time and energy to find a solution in the middle of the night. I did not have the chance to stay there but Adolfo has really showned great values.

Liked: It's great if you just stay a night, it's almost in front of the terminal. I guess the City Centre and the beach are a little far, but if you are going to use the terminal right away again, i can just suggest this place. They are so heartful and nice!!

Liked: It is right opposite the main bus terminal, so great for late arrivals. The owner booked me on a bus to Putre, and arranged a taxi for me to the La Paloma bus terminal.Nice rooms, and a quiet hostel.

Liked: We were only staying 1 night en route to Arica airport from Iquique, so it was ideal for us. Not sure though if it would be good for staying any more than 1 night. Also, would have had to pay for luggage storage which we thought should have been free, especially as it was cheaper to store it at the Bus Station over the road !! However, Adolfo (the owner) was v helpful and friendly.

07 November 2009 Helen would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel is quite basic and you get what you pay for. Any extras like towels, breakfast etc aren´t included and charged extra for. But, this is a great place to stay if you are only in Arica overnight crossing the border with Peru because it´s so close to the bus station. The owner is extremely helpful and gave us lots of tips and advice about the city and how to cross the border. I would recommend if you´re looking to do something similar.

29 April 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It's across the road from the bus station so you don't have to worry about dodgey cabbies or preassured journeys when you leave early in the morning. Don't be put off by the proximity, unlike most S American bus stations, Arica is a perfectly safe place at all times of the night/ morning. Can get more central but bus station location outweighs the benefit if you are familiar with Arica as the extra 15 min walk is something to do plus a colllectivo or bus cost less than a bag of peanuts in uk.
