Selina Arequipa
4.1/542 Reviews
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.
Casa Andina Standard Arequipa
4/539 Reviews
It is not the first time being in this hotel and service was always avarage to good. The restaurant staff is very helpful, but in reception it is mainly poor. Qualifying my last stay, there was a request to change rooms which was denied without any effort of the front desk staff to make a change, as asking friendly, being unfriendly we were attended. Regarding the dinner, there was a very loud party in the dining room - non consuming - during our diner and we just asked to be a little less loudly. Later I received a complaint of this hotel staff via my company because of our unfriendlyness and also non flexibility at a dinner. Receiving tips, saying thank you and afterwards complaining? It is not very profesional.
Casa Andina Premium Arequipa
4.4/565 Reviews
This hotel is in an excellent location on a quiet street in Arequipa, a close walk to major attractions. The tented 'lobby' and public spaces are beautiful, with gorgeous antiques, wall adornments, metal sculptures and a lovely ambiance. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but very standard, with nothing that would remotely qualify for a five star rating by Peru standards. The staff are helpful, and friendly, although efficiency is sometimes an issue. During our stay the fumes from new paint in our room (or at least we hope it was paint and not something else) were quite unbearable, but our short stay didn't warrant requesting a move - so we had to keep the window open at all times. Because repairs were being made to AC units on sections of the building, we would find a man on the roof right outside our window at select times, making for poor privacy. These were minor problems, and we found the stay mostly quite comfortable. The restaurant on site has very good food and breakfast is relatively extensive by Peru standards.
Hampton by Hilton Arequipa
4.5/556 Reviews
Fantastic hotel close to the Plaza de Armas. Beautiful colonial house with a discreet addition in the back that houses the modern and well equipped rooms. Excellent service and delicious breakfast and beautiful public areas. Some rooms have the volcano views, other the church and city. Equally beautiful. Frankly I'm surprised Hilton didn't make this a Curio brand. It's probably the best Hampton I've seen anywhere. It even has a jacuzzi on the roof top and you can also the see Misti volcano from there. It's got all the amenities and comforts of an international chain but keeping to the traditional architecture and charm of Arequipa. Definitely worth staying here. In fact we stayed here twice!
