My friends and I had been bouncing from one Peruvian city until the next until we arrived in Arequipa. One friend had a bad case of stomach troubles that was still resolving from the day before. We arrived early in the morning- way before check in- with the hope that the hostel would give our friend a bed to rest... More

Only 6 minutes walk from the beautiful Plaza Armas, and 2 minutes from the Monasterio Santa Catalina (a MUST visit). Hostel is on 1st floor above the shops up a steep security gated set of stairs. My daughter and I had booked 2 singles ensuite, but these weren't ready (our fault we got there too early) so we had a... More

A family-run hostel in the center of Arequipa. Great advices on tours in and around the city from Alfonso in order to meet your budget. Everybody working here is very friendly. Good hostel for pricing.

This is the hostel on Jerusalen right? Well, it´s a nice place. The owner was really nice. The terrace up top is spectacular. The beds sleep well.... only I woke up with bedbug bites. Thinking it was maybe one of the small flying biting bugs, I slept a second night here, found more bites, checked the matress and found the... More

My husband and I spent a couple of nights in La Posada del Cacique in September 2010. The place is a family business run by very friendly and helpful people. The rooms are basic, but cosy, the bathrooms are basic, but there is hot water available all the time. There is a small kitchen facility. The roof terrace is a... More

I stayed here with 5 other friends (3 couples) for a few nights. They were pretty accomodating and flexible with us, because we'd booked 3 rooms for 3 nights, but then wanted to cancel last minute the second night only. They let us leave all of our stuff there for a night while we went to Colca Canyon, for a... More

I love the Posada del Cachique. We have been there twice, the first time during our holiday 2008 in Peru and the second time in 2009 while travelling around the world....and both times we had a great time there! The owners Jose and his father are very helpful...they suggested a good company for the trip to Colca Canyon, good restaurants,... More

This hostel is in a great location and the owners are very helpful and nice. However, the rooms are dated and bathroom facilities basic. The dormitory facilities were dirty and unsafe with the shower hanging by eletrical tape. The roof terrace is a bonus and there is a small basic outside kitchen as well as wifi. The place needs serious... More

We had a pretty small, basic room with our own bathroom but the lack of facilities was more than made up for by the great care & attention that we got from Jose. We liked being able to make our own tea/coffee and also liked the rooftop terrace (great view of the volcanoes). Location was excellent and Jose was very... More
