Good hotel. But my private room has no hair dryer. The front desk lady was nice and escorted me to someone’s room which has hair dryer and let me use it.
Very very good. Viajero hostels in general seems to be a very reliable place to stay.
Localization: Amazing.
Cowork: Amazing. Spend 4 days working from there and it pretty good. Internet connection could be better.
Rooftop: Very very good. Better then many restaurants.
Staff: Very very kind!
Features: Great. The option to buy a bottle to fill up with water for free is amazing and a tip: I'm currently duing this review from the Viajero in Lima and you can use the same bottle.
Breakfast: Very good. I thought it was expensive when I saw the price. But it's big and really tasy.
What could be better:
Internet connection
Organzization on the rooms - lack of organization makes people leave all their stuff everywhere.
Que Bela cidade é Arequipa ! O hostel é perfeito, comida gostosa, pessoas interagindo o tempo todo! O hostel ta super bem localizado, fácil acesso ao mosteiro de Santa Catalina, a praça principal, que linda é a praça! Encantado com Arequipa e o hostel !
Hostel incrível, de muita qualidade na sua infraestrutura de quartos e banheiros. Tudo muito limpo e o atendimento Excelente. Infelizmente café da manhã é cobrado a parte, mas o que é servido é de ótima qualidade, vale a pena!
Virkelig et godt hostel, med gode faciliteter og god stemning. Værelserne var flotte og renlige, og beliggenhed var også fin. Anbefales til folk der godt kan lide et hostel med en masse gode aktiviteter.
