Reviews of Hostal Sol De Oro Backpackers

24 May 2010 Femke would recommend this property

Liked: Really enjoyed our stay here. The property is really nice, with enough space both indoors and outdoors. Small kitchen that´ll do for simple meals. Staff is great - friendly and helpful, can help with booking trips as well. Four-bed-dorm is good value for money (private bathroom). Breakfast is a little early (8-9am), but very much worth it, especially on the sunny patio! Recommended!

Liked: Great place to stay, but be warned, this is not a backpacker wherehouse of 200 beds and constant partying if thats what you´re looking for. Great outdoor area to hang out, close to the city center, friendly staff, and a relaxed atmosphere without a lot of rules.

16 March 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: From the moment we arrived at 6am, the staff were very helpful, even letting us sleep in a dorm, room for free for a few hours until our double room was ready. The sun deck is great, and being able to use the kitchen helped too. The computers are good, and we enjoyed the chess and other games on offer. The hostel even let us dissappear into the Canyon for twoo nights, and move our final two nights stay to when we returned. Great Hostel

12 December 2008 OLIVIER would recommend this property

Liked: I came for one day because I wanted to look for a family stay, but I ve decided to stay 1.5 month, all my stay in Arequipa. The hostal is very nice, with its great terrace to have all your meals, a room and common places very colourful, Jon, Julianna y Elena are so nice and helpful, and the hostal is not too big, so there s a great family atmosphere. I read that there were cleanliness problems but apparently they have been fixed.

09 December 2008 Jessica would recommend this property

Liked: This hostal is run by a very friendly Peruvian couple. It always felt safe and they do a lot to make the hotel beautiful and welcoming. The back terrace was an added bonus for eating meals or hanging out. I will definitely return on my way back through Arequipa and recommend it to those I meet while traveling.
