La habitación estaba limpia y súper genial el diseño para compartir solo con mujeres ya que cada cama contaba con cortinas que lo hacían sentir más independiente. El lugar es hermoso, volvería una y mil veces a quedarme por allá!

Wyndham Costa del Sol Arequipa
It's fine. Would be the best option if you have kids, but probably better options if you are couple or on business.

Sonesta Hotel Arequipa
Lovely hotel, a little north of the City. Great staff, huge rooms. Really good coffee at breakfast. The view of the Volcano in the pics must be from a drone, the best view is next to the elevators on floors 12 or 14.
