Rooms are dirty, breakfast is untasty, staff is unkind and not professional at all. In a few words, we did not spend happy moments during our stay in La CAsa de Melgar. I think they should have a course of behavior, from the housekieeping lady to the manager. They just know the word "no". We were ver dissapinting with the... More

We were deciding between this and La Hosteria for a weeks stay in Arequipa. We ended up booking La Hosteria and enjoyed the stay there. After we were headed to Lima but liked Arequipa and decided to nix Lima and stay a few more days. La Hosteria was booked so here was our opportunity to stay at the Melgar. We... More

This place suited me perfectly when I arrived in Arequipa, very central yet also really spacious and the gardens are lovely. I had had enough of running around the town one day so just lay in the sun, a real oasis of calm. As a solo traveller, though, don't expect to meet people there, it's very low key and there's...

Located 3 blocks away from Plaza de Armas, 2 blocks away from St. Catalina Monastery, in quiet area. When I'd entered this hostel I was stroke by the atmosphere in here. I just love this place. WiFi, TV, hot water (all the time), good breakfast (however simple one) in the garden, clean rooms and bathrooms. Laundry nearby, same as small... More

We ve stayed twice at Hostal Melgar and during our both stays, we were enchanted by the place but desappointed with service and cleanliness : no wake up call although we asked for it the day before, no breakfast possible before 7, price of the room was not the same at réservation by phone than at check out and bathroom...

Very picturesque, full of character and very authentic. The rooms are lovely, but the bathrooms are not great, the bed linen was poor quality and the breakfast average. Great experience for one night, but that is enough for me!

We loved this place, extremely quirky.Lovely courtyards.The room we had was the largest with a huge vaulted ceiling, the doors were enormous,the bed was extremely comfortable.The breakfasts were not that brilliant, and the staff on duty did not speak English.Had great difficulty trying to get 2 boiled eggs for breakfast and amused a French Canadian with my boiling water impressions....

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is an old building.The rooms are large, spacious and comfortable as are the beds! The hotel has a series of courtyards and a lovely flowered garden where we saw a hummingbird. It's wonderfully peaceful and calming. Breakfast is good and the staff are polite and friendly. It's in easy walking distance of the city... More

This hotel is absolutely wonderful. My husband and I had the most relaxing two nights in the hotel and wished we could have stayed longer. The room was huge, with beautiful high ceilings and an enormous (and very clean and fresh) bed with the an elegant little shower/bath and loo en suite. The doors opened out to a very quaint... More
