Pros and Cons: The only con is that the hot water was only lukewarm. Breakfast included coffee, tea, bread, butter and a delicious assortment of jams. Internet was available to guests. Good maid service. The rooms and bath were cleaned daily. The atmosphere was relaxing. Having a refrigerator and kitchen privileges was definitely a plus. With fresh seafood a few blocks away, my wife cooked in the evenings. The family that owns the hostal were gracious and very helpful with info on where to go and what to see in and around Arica. If we return to Arica, we will stay at this hostal again.
