Hotel is set in attractive grounds with rooms located around the swimming pool. Close to the centre of town. Bedrooms are large with a small outdoor terrace but in need of some updating (and this was in the "New Wing"). We had a small double bed with a rather grubby blanket - when will hotels learn that a duvet/quilt with... More

The room was extremely basic and not particularly clean, the bathroom is old, needs serious upgrading. The beds were of poor quality. Airconditioning is very loud, but in the morning it doesn't matter because the hotel is next to a construction site that's so loud that you can't sleep anyway. I stayed there only one night but it was memorable... More

My family and I visited Arica, Chile over a three day weekend and stayed at the Hotel El Paso. Overall, we had a good time and enjoyed staying at the hotel. The hotel itself is located in a nearby park and has gorgeous landscaping and all sorts of beautiful flowers and trees. The property itself is quite large but a... More

This hotel is just overpriced in my opinion. I stayed in a double room in one of the motel like rooms around the pool, and all in all I would say that the rooms are alright. They are pretty basic and kind of old, but I can't really recognize the complaints about the cleanliness of the rooms. My room and... More

The hotel in general: good. Clean rooms. The worst part: breakfast. Neither the butter nor the cream cheese (both need to be refrigerated) where in good condition to be eaten. It should be a usd 60 double room, but they cost usd 90/100. But be carefull... Arica has no GOOD hotels... so you should pick "the better between the bad"... More

An old motel style facility with nice landscaping, but lawns not too well kept. Outdated rooms in need of real work; one serious concern is that I could not lock the window in my ground floor room which is a real security issue in Latin America. But if you really hate your room you can amuse yourself in the casino... More

We arrived in Arica with low expectations and this hotel met them! The other negative reviews have it about right--it's moldy, it's dirty, it's overpriced (this was the second most expensive place we stayed in Peru or Chile) and utterly lacking in even the most basic of business hotel comforts. A group of screaming teenaged girls swarmed the desolate pool... More

This is certanly a very run down hotel. If we had stayed at a residencia it would have been better. Rooms run down, bothrooms full of mold. We paid $82 for a double room. After a 3 day rough tour of the antiplano I was hoping for a great long shower. I hate the thought of touching the bathroom walls! More
