Bothy offers free tours of the city and other fun things to do, we met a bunch of people to join us on our colca canyon tour too! It was a great location, close to many bars, shopping etc. The staff was very helpful in organizing buses, tours etc. I would recommend Bothy to anybody! More

I have stayed in Arequipa 2 times. The first time I arrived to Bothy just by ramdon choise. The owner is very nice and made me feel like I was at home. He use to have some meetings in the social area so all the backpackers can get to meet eachother and do fun things together. Is an exelent chance... More

70 soles for a double room with a private bathroom, including breakfast. 60 soles for a double room with a shared bathroom including breakfast. This hostel was fine for a night or two but I thought it should have been cheaper because it was a very basic, old hostel. The bedroom and the bathroom were really dated and not very... More

Very good accomodation. Nice bar (only 6 soles a big bottle of beer), nice dorms with windows. It is never to noisy to sleep, the terrace in the sun, where you can have your included pancake-breakfast is very very nice. Good beds, good hot showers with high water pressure, clean (also the banos compartidos!). Book exchange, pool table, laundry for... More

Lovely welcoming place, spotlessly clean, the best pancake I have eaten in South America (and it was free). A great common space in which to meet other travellers. The location is very central. I only stayed one night but would definatly go back if I was in Arequipa again. The view from the roof terrace is to die for. More

Probably the friendliest and most helpful staff of any hostel we stayed at in Peru... I would highly recommend this hostel, but wouldn't necceasarily recommend booking any tours from them as they are more expensive then on the street. More

Having stayed at the old Bothy two years ago, I was pleasantly surprised at the new Bothy location when I arrived a week ago. It´s just a little bit further down Puente Grau and is more spacious with nice rooms and a really pretty balcony area to sit at and have your breakfast or read a book with FAB views... More
