If I could give this hotel 6 out of 5 stars, I would. We stayed here for a total of 3 nights, split amongst a trip to Chivay and the Colca Canyon. It's so close to the main centre of Arequipa that everything was in easy reach. The incredibly friendly receptionist José welcomed us with plenty of tips and a map and we soon went to our rooms, which are spacious and with good bathroom amenities, including suncream! The shower is great, the bed is very comfortable and we slept very well. ||Breakfast really needs a special mention because it far surpassed any of our other hotel breakfasts during our stay, including in more expensive locations. You get juice, tea or coffee, bread with jams and then choose what you want from cereal to eggs to sandwich or pancakes with quinoa in the actual batter and fruit inside. |On the final day it was my Dad's birthday and I made a special request to ask if the hotel could adorn the room with birthday things that I would pay them back for so that he was surprised on entering. This was a big ask but José, Kimberly and Sally absolutely surpassed themselves. My Dad opened the door to many balloons (including on the ceiling), a big happy birthday sign and a card from the hotel. He was so happy that I'll remember it forever. ||They recommended a great restaurant for us to eat at that night and even offered to book a table for us. ||If you want a great hotel, with lovely staff, a superb location and a personal touch then I cannot recommend this one enough. No wonder it's won so many trip advisor awards.
