This was an excellent hotel for a very reasonable price. The water was always hot, the room was cleaned daily, the front desk was always staffed, the breakfast was good and plentiful. Several members of the staff spoke excellent English. They were helpful on everything from restaurant recommendations to a suggestion on where to get a pair of hiking pants mended. Good quality flat screen TV with HBO, Cinemax and BBC. The hotel included a free airport pickup and return, and when I checked out, they gave me a box of candy as a a gift. When I return to Arequipa, I definitely will stay here.
