Best Hotels near centro comercial la salle, Arequipa

Nice decor and styling in the rooms, large and comfortable bed (we had a private room just a bit back from the pool area). The inclusion of a fridge was a plus point. The cleaning staff were helpful and courteous. When we checked in, the guys working reception helped us up to the room with our luggage (I had been volunteering in Arequipa for 2 months prior so had a few bags). However, when I asked on our way out if they had anyone available to help take our luggage to the taxi, it was a hard “no ofrecemos ese servicio” 😕 So I guess it depends who’s working that day as to what level of service you get. The bar area around the pool was nice with lots of seating options to chill out, but the water in the pool was absolutely freezing and even cold water swimmers wouldn’t be in there much more than 10 minutes! I removed quite a lot of bugs during my swim, so a regular clean with a net wouldn’t go amiss. The worst aspect of this place was the obnoxiously loud and unrelenting music. I couldn’t even get peace and quiet in our private bathroom. I get that the poolside party is their vibe, but I really don’t think they need quite so many hours of it in their schedule. With retrospect, I’d have chosen a quieter hotel. Finally, we booked a massage. I thought it would be a nice way to round off our trip, the price was equivalent to about £30 GBP which I thought was a good deal. I’d had an excellent massage at Selina in Baños, Ecuador, so I was looking forward to it. Well, both my massage (hot stones) and the one my boyfriend had (regular massage) were so comically bad that we still joke about it 6 months later. I asked the masseuse in fluent Spanish 5 times and in a variety of different ways to really use a bit more pressure, but no…. the two of us spent an hour each being half-heartedly rubbed with oil by someone who clearly had received very little training and was unable to locate any knots, any areas of tension, anything. I actually left more tense than I went in! I did tell the reception so I sincerely hope they have recruited a new massage therapist. Overall, there are some benefits to Selina such as the relative proximity to the city centre whilst also having a pool. However, I wouldn’t rush back and didn’t find it quite as good as the other Selinas I’ve stayed in in Central and South America.

Fantastic rooms for the price! Clean, modern, spacious, comfortable! Wanted to book a nice hotel for my last few days in Peru and I was so thrilled I chose Viza Hotel. I asked if I could have an early check in (5am) as I was arriving from another city via night bus. I was charged half the price of the night (100soles) which was reasonable. The bathroom was decent with a proper rain shower. Breakfast was average. The rooftop was closed during my stay. Overall good nice hotel right in the heart of the city!

I arrived around 5:30am and Sra. Flor opened the door for me. She took care of my early check-in. Sra. Flor was very attentive and nice. She even helped me to secure my early checking in Cusco. Superb customer service!!! Every staff member at this hotel was friendly and attentive. The breakfast was tasty and well-prepared. The room was spacious and secured. Great hot shower too!!! Comfortable King size beds. Room service was great too. Highly recommended!!!

this hotel was wonderful and accommodating and clean. we arrived by overnight by bus and were very tired in the morning but the staff brought us breakfast (helped me discover how much I enjoy Altomayo instant coffee - yum!), which enjoyed from our balcony and watched the sunrise. Our only regret was not booking enough time here and in Arequipa - seriously considering returning just to explore the city more and absolutely would stay here again. I had to work the day we were here and the wifi was strong enough for my work most of the time. Very safe location and they stopped my partner when she entered and didn’t notify them who she was, which we understood and appreciated. We also checked out very early the following day and they were equally as accommodating and friendly as when we arrived. Very close to city center and lots of accessible walking to historical and cultural sites of interest.

The hotel is very new, looks chic and is well located. The service was very friendly and helpful; we had a tour that started at 3:00 a.m. and the reception staff has offered active take-away breakfast bags at the check-in. They were also at the reception at 3 p.m. for us. Unfortunately we had no hot water in the washing venue in the morning and the water was not running properly.

Excellent attention, facilities and assistance in different areas such as to inform you of the points of interest by providing you with a city plan. In general, I understand that all the staff of the hotel have performed an excellent behaviour with us, providing various elements such as shuttle adapters or imprinting boarding cards; The rooms are very comfortable and comfortable. Like common spaces, with precise infusions to achieve better physical adaptability and avoid pains derived from the ”highness bad” called ”sorche” derived from the height over the level of the Arequipa sea. The establishment's decoration is very careful the combination of contributions from traditional buildings with completely updated elements.
