This hotel is a cute little gem in Arequipa. The staff are extremely helpful, the rooms are simple and clean, with hot water and if your lucky even with an amazing view of the surrounding volcanos. The walk into the centre is pleasant and is a good distance to be away from centre chaos. Arequipa is such a lovely city... More

We stayed for 4 nights in total and enjoyed the stay. The rooms are clean, spacious and have comfortable beds. We stayed on the 3rd floor and then on the 4th floor and both times had wonderful hot showers. Breakfast is served on a nice little patio in the sun and for a few extra soles you can get eggs...

We enjoyed our stay at the Hostal Solar - it is a great place to stay in Arequipa. The room we stayed in was big and clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. A good breakfast is served on their rooftop terrace. I highly recommend it.

Furthermore, on the evening that we arrived in Arequipa the taxi driver from the hotel did not show up, even though they confirmed the service via email the day... More

The rooms are simple and clean. It's about a 10-minute walk to Plaza de Armas. A quiet hostal on a busy street, plus it's very secure. It has a wonderful terrace where you can enjoy the included breakfast every morning, overlooking the mountains.

After 2 nights of bad hotels this hotel was a welcome change. Clean, inviting and charming. My room had this neat balcony and the breakfast was excellent. Highly recommend a stay.

We had a triple roomon the second floor right next to the rooftop terrace where breakfast was served. The staff was very friendly and organized our tour to Colca Canyon and our bus trip to Cusco. Including storage our luggage during our tour. The rooms were clean and bright and the shower was amazingly hot. The only downside was they... More
