Mariano Melgar Hotels, Arequipa

"Basic but nice "

"This is a charming boutique hotel away from the hustle and bustle - but still within easy walking distance (10-15 mins) to major attractions such as the Basilica, main square, convent, and market. The garden is an oasis away from the crowds and noise of downtown. There is also a small heated pool with jets. Breakfast features a nice selection of fruits, yogurt, cereal, meat, cheese, olives and made to order eggs. The vibe is warm and unpretentious, very much like staying with friends - this is only enhanced by the staff. In particular, Carlos was always friendly, helpful and genuinely caring. He is a true gem. "

"The breakfast was absolutely amazing! So many choices, and so good! I ate enough that I didn’t need lunch :) staff was so nice and the property was immaculately maintained. Would definitely recommend. "

"Absolutely the best hotel I have ever stayed at! We traveled with two kids and it was very convenient to have separate beds for each of them. The hotel is close to everything: historical center, shops, restaurants. The staff is amazing! Great breakfast, clean room, laundry opportunity - everything is above and beyond! Would definitely stay there again!"

"The rooms are extremely quiet and luxurious. The spa was not run well — no one was there. The breakfast was amazing, but the restaurant's service was on the slow side. The neighborhood is in the business district and boring."

"Loved the spa. Lots of charm, beautiful garden setting."

"Everything excellent "

"llegué al hotel y no me dieron mi cuarto sino hasta las 6:00 pm porque no habia agua en todo el hotel, no se podia ni usar el baño del lobby. ni siquiera me compenaron por las horas perdidas. la zona del bar / mirador estaba en reparaciones y no es nada de lo que ofrecen en las fotos."

"Excellent hotel "
