Liked: Really nice garden area...

Disliked: TV room doesnt have a door which makes it difficult to watch stuff.. Not too many people about. There is a lot of loud music all of the time.. which is fine at night but a bit weird during the day.

Liked: friendly staff and they gave good recommendations to tours and things like that.

Disliked: it is a bit far from the plaza but it's only a 10-15mins walk away. wifi signal is not very strong throughout the hostel. the music could get quite loud at night.

Liked: This place is all round great. Has all your needs from booking activities/travel to chillout lounge. Come especially on a thurs/fri/sat for some partying and then do your treks during the week! Staff are superb and they even have a great in-house cook if needed. For couples book the 'hilton' room = large and furthest away from the bar.

Liked: The hostel was in a nice area and felt very safe and secure

Disliked: It was really noisy. We were doing a trek to colca canyon and had to be up at 2.30. Tere were people partying loudly with music all night and were still going when I left at 3.30am. So no sleep before my trek, and this was on a Monday.

06 May 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Amazing hostel, everything you could want. Great peaceful location with huge trees, amazing jacuzzi and hammocks. Great place to rest during the day, ridiculous nightlife and completely insane staff, in a good way. They will know where to take you out for a good night and get you home safe and hammered. Best of everything, cheap and quick laundry, good food, fun bar, theme parties a few times a week, open bars, ladies night, pool competition, limbo, pirate night, JENGA (with pisco shots of course)... the list goes on. You should definitely stay there if you come to Arequipa!

09 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This place is definitely more of a party hostel. There's a bar downstairs and music is played loud. If that's what you're looking for this is the place. If you want something quiet, keep looking. The staff was nice but I asked several people to see if they could get the batteries in the smoke detector changed because it was beeping constantly but no one ever did or seemed to care.
