One night stay on the way to colca canyon. Hotel is in historic centre, 10min walk to plasa the armas. Even closer are some bars and restaurants with good music and food. Room was small but clean, breakfast excellent, staff helpful and pleasant. Perfect for several nights in arequipa. Recommended. a
Une belle chambre propre, quelques cheveux dans le lit à l’arrivée, douche chaude et bel emplacement. Déjeuner de base mais un personnel excessivement chaleureux et accueillant
Le mobilier extérieur offrait différents niveaux d'ensoleillement et de confort. Fauteuils, divans, chaises longues etc.
La terrasse pour le déjeuner (petit déjeuner pour les français) était magnifique avec vue sur les monts enneigés.
L'établissement a été rénové mais à quelques endroits les murs et les plafonds fendillent ou la peinture boursoufle. Ils devraient pouvoir corriger cela par un entretien continu.
Everything exceeded expectations. This hotel has a very homey feel. Only downside is that there is no restaurant, but many places to eat nearby.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was very friendly and even after checking out. They let you keep you luggage in a storage area in case you have a later flight. Very recommended.
Las instalaciones están muy bien, situado en un buen barrio cerca de la plaza de armas, con restaurantes y bares, pero en una calle muy tranquila. Casa antigua bien restaurada y como todas, sin ascensor. Buenas vistas des de las terrazas. Exelente trato personal

Beautiful and friendly hotel
We spent a couple of days there and everything was perfect.
We arrived early in the morning after spending the night on a bus and they offered hot drinks straight away.
They prepared our room as soon as they could and we were allowed to check in earlier than expected so we could rest. Really nice touch on their side!
The place is beautifully decorated with paintings and art and it feels like a high end hotel.
Beds are very comfy, bathroom clean and shower powerful. Breakfast is good (they even go to the baker to get the delicious bread first thing in the morning before they sell them out).
The location is good, in a quiet street, about 10 minutes walk from the main attractions.
Great stay and highly recommended.

Bon hôtel
Hôtel situé un tout petit en dehors du centre-ville mais cela permet d’etre au calme et en quelques minutes à la plave des armes.
Hôtel propre, eau chaude et petit-déjeuner correct
Hôtel très propre et super service ! Un peu bruyant car les chambres donnent sur un patio intérieur et sont peu isolées, mais l hôtel est en général super
We had a lovely stay at El Portal de San Lazaro. It’s on a quiet street off the main road, and walkable to the Plaza and the attraction. Special mention to Israel the hotel manager, who gave us excellent restaurant recommendations and was a great host. Only issue we faced was that the hotel doesn’t have central heating, and nights were cold. They did give us extra blankets, though!
Perfect location in the small and windy stone streets of Arequipa. Quick walk to main square and the park. Close to all top rated attractions in AQP. Staff is great and rooms are clean and nice. Good breakfast. Really lovely to be able to walk to all we wanted to see...
Beautiful hotel with open architecture and multiple areas to sit and hang out outside with views of the three volcanoes. A steal at the price. 5 minute walk to the convent, 10 minute walk to the plaza de armas. Comfortable bed, plenty of hot water. Small room but with all the space outside the rooms did not mind this.
Really nice hotel, good location (walking distance to the plaza de Armas). You definitely get good value for the price. 24-hours reception and we could leave our luggage in the hotel while trekking in the Colca Canyon, which we really appreciated. The manager is very helpful as well if you'd like to get tips on trekking tours.
Durante la nostra vacanza in Sud America, abbiamo soggiornato 3 notti in questo hotel. Abbiamo incontrato un'accoglienza e attenzione davvero unica da parte del proprietario e di tutto lo staff.
Ottima anche la posizione (a due passi dal centro e da ottimi ristoranti), la pulizia e la colazione.
