“cute place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2006

found this place via their website:[-]

rooms and bathrooms are very cute, clean. this place is a converted mansion and has a lot of charm and a very pretty backyard. they also run a tour agency and can answer questions. overall i was happy with my stay there, just a few comments:

-they claim to accept credit cards, but they don't, so make sure you have either dollars or soles to pay your bill

-their email reply to me said all rooms had cable tv which doesn't seem to be totally true, unless they move tvs around, so request one if you want one

-their email reply also said $18 for a double room with private bathroom without breakfast, $20 with breakfast, and we requested with breakfast, but couldn't find anyone to serve us breakfast, so we requested our bill get adjusted, but they said the price was $20 regardless. didn't want to argue about $2 but maybe just reserve yourself with the $18 price so the correct price gets written down in their reservation book. if u want breakfast pay for it when you get there, they have a little cafe area and it costs the same

-their email said the price included 1 hour free internet a day but the guy working there told us S/1.00/hour. the computer was really slow so we went to an internet cabina

-just so you know, they are in a safe part of town and its really not a terrible walk, but they are not near the center of town, its maybe a 10min walk

Stayed November 2006

“a lot of bang for the buck”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2006

My wife & I stayed with our 1 year-old at this absolute gem for 10 days in April after pre-arranging our stay from Canada.
Approx. $18 US/night provided us with a very large & comfortable room that came complete with a private bathroom and television. Of course no two rooms are anything alike but we think we saw them all and can't speak negatively of any. And they're priced according to amenities so perhaps ask to see the selection before commiting.
Wonderful place to hang out at, and with a staff that, if anything, works a little too hard to satisfy.
And I read some criticism, before leaving Canada, about Tambo Viejo being a little too far from the action, but I disagree. Sure we had to walk for 10 minutes before getting to the Plaza but what's 10 minutes, especially when the walk is through the streets of Arequipa.
My only suggestion would be to tip the hard-working girls that look after the place. Nobody earns it more than these folks and I don't think they get enough of them.

“the only great hostel in Peru”

This lovely place has an a special charm, it has very clean, nice rooms and good beds with big windows looking to the garden and hot showers in the clean bathrooms. The breakfast is excellent and delicious.

It has such a nice atmosphere that you can just stay there for a long time relaxing, reading a book or sunbathing in the sunny terraces or in the quiet garden.

It really give you the feeling of been safe and at home. For any kind of information there is always someone able to help you even if you are sick.

Very friendly staff and atmosphere.!!!
