Very nice place to stay. Close enough to the center but more quiet. There was Internet wifi and television sitting area. The breakfast was nice (crepes and eggs made to order!) as was the view from the rooftop. Also several sitting areas and knowledgeable staff. More

Stayed here for two nights while in Arequipa. Hostel is located in a good area, only a few mins away from main Plaza. Was a little shocked at the poor condition of this hostel, very run down and no one seems to care. The place is filthy especially the washrooms and shared showers. Dorm rooms were basic but cold at... More

It may not be the best hostel but it matched our expectations: clean, quiet, good mattress, great breakfast. The location is not too bad, about 5 blocks from the center. One weakness: no good common room. More

Rooms were huge, plenty of hot water too. Cleen as well. Well priced. Has nice garden to sit and ponder. Laundry was well priced. Reception organising buses etc was excellent. Includes breakfast and this is the only stumbling block.....the food was good however i got food poisoning directly from here......if you see in the kitchen you will see why :} More

Booked a double-bed room, stayed here for 4 nights. Room was ok, pretty clean.Rest of the hostel very basic,a little chaotic. Pro's: very nice roof top terrace with a nice view over Arequipa. The included breakfast every morning was served up there by the staff-very relaxed! Staff was very friendly and uncomplicated. WiFi available and 2 slow computers. More

I stayed in this hostel during a couple days in June. Turned out to be the worst hostel on my trip in South America, so far. Most of the staff are nice and helpful, however, I cannot say for some girl at the reception, who was clearly bored at her job, and the owner of the hostel. The bathroom was... More

Home Sweet Home is a hostel place ideal for a tight-budget traveller looking for some bed with no frills. It's located about half a mile from Plaza de Armas, Arequipa's heart. Although it is not that far, the way until the hostel is a bit tough. On the other hands, you'll be just 3 blocks away from Santa Catalina convent,... More

Booked this hostel based on the reviews here. Turned out to be a dump in violation of multiple health codes. We were shown a number of rooms --grudgingly by someone who must have thought she had better things to do than wait at the front desk-- but not a single room had everything: TV, private bathroom, and size are all...
