Right on the main square with lovely views from the balcony overlooking the square and church. However, it is adjacent to a disco which, at least on Fri. and Sat. nights, blares music until 5 am. I spent the night reading in the lobby where it was only marginaly quieter than in our room which was shaking from the throbbing... more

Fantastic location right on the main square in Arequipa, within walking distance of most of the attractions. We were lucky to have a room with a balcony facing the square, well appointed and clean. Buffet breakfast was good especially when taken on the outside terrace of the restaurant, people watching in the square. Had a very pleasant evening meal here.... more

A Spanish Colonial building in a great location overlooking the main square. It is a small hotel that mainly caters for tour groups staying only a couple of nights so the reception is always busy and don't expect to sleep until mid morning as suitcases move about early. The staff are pleasant and helpful. The bedrooms and bathrooms are small,... more

I stayed in Ariquipa as part of a Touring Holiday of Peru. When I arrived at the hotel I could not believe the location!!!! Right on the main Square!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We could not have asked for better. There is so much to do in the area. The cathedral, Shopping Galore and some really cute Restaurants. The room was basic but clean... more

We just arrived from Peru and this has being the worst hotel in the entire country. Transfer arrived almost one hour late. The room was terrible, carpet was very dirty, drapes were disgusting, only one bedside table, the remote control did not work. The room and the bathroom have not being renovated in the last forty years. By the way,... more

We stayed two nights in this hotel and were very impressed by the helpfulness of the staff. The breakfast buffet was not extensive but was adequate. We only had drinks and a lunch-time snack in the restaurant but the staff were very good and prices were reasonable and the location - sitting over looking the main square was wonderful. The... more

I found the Sonesta's location to be exceptional! The hotel is right in the heart of Plaza de Armas (where most of the stores and restaurants are) with easy access to anywhere in Arequipa. Although there's some construction outside the hotel (city is renovating the public roads), the hotel inside is very cozy and comfortable. The rooms are not luxurious... more

Obviously there is no better location in the city, but nothing else to expect : ugly decoration, noisy rooms, distant staff... You just pay for the view. more

This hotel commands an excellent central location in the Plaza de Armas in Arequipa, with fantastic views over the square from the restaurant. I stayed at the hotel having been traveling around Bolivia & Peru with six friends, it was most welcome dose of relative luxury compared to the places I had become accustomed to staying in. Although the hotel... more
