Nice little place right downtown with a cool 3rd floor terrace where you can hang out all night. A good balence of cheap, clean and comfy. And the staff plugged me in to quite a bit in Arequipa More

There were not enough blankets so we... More

This was by far the worse hotel/hostal I stayed at during my month long trip to Peru. The rooms are small and dirty. The sheets and bathroom had no been cleaned and had numerous "bodily fluid" stains. The service was abysmal as well. They did not pick us up at the airport as arranged and even though we requested a... More

My name is Fernando Polanco, I am owner of Posada Misti House in Arequipa Peru, I answer the first comment that this is totally false: We rely on reception staff and housekeeping apart, I mention this, each staff is responsible for each area and this system has given us the possibility to have rooms and beds in perfect cleanliness and...

We tripped over this hostel in Arequipa occasionally, and were very happy to have found such a low-budget, but very decent place. It is not even close to being glamorous, but has everything to suit basic needs: a tiny kitchenette, free wifi, a terrace with view on Misti volcanoe, and showers with 10 minutes of hot water and small but...

this hostel was awesome, the owners were more than helpful for booking buses, tours. they had hot showers, a kitchen though small it had all the basic things. It is in a great location close to the main square and supermarket. We had a few issues due to mass amounts of rain we couldnt get to our bus. The owners... More

It is a friendly and nice place to stay, and also a good location. My mistake was that I booked a private room and ended up in a dorm that was empty anyway, for more than double the price.If I had just walked in and took the bed it would have much cheaper! Live and learn. More

I need a place with hot water for shower, a firmish bed, wifi and a great location. The Misti has all of these and didn't burn my wallet, I would stay again. Owner family are very friendly, rooms are basic, power, hot water, good wifi and did I say the location and cost were great? There are two flights of... More

The hostel was very relaxed and all the staff were really friendly. There was a nice atmosphere and felt very secure and safe. We were able to come and go as we pleased morning and night and if there was anything we needed the staff were very willing to oblige. The rooms were comfortable and clean as well as the... More
