What an absolutely wonderful hotel! The hotel itself is beautiful and a short 15mins walk to the centre, the staff are really very kind and helpful, the breakfast is excellent, and the room was very big and comfortable! There is nothing that I disliked about this hotel at all - I highly recommend ...

Hotel Piru Wasi Arequipa
Maribele was great, she let us check in early, and held our bags until the afternoon the day we were leaving. She was very helpful. Breakfast was great as well as the price. Close to the plasa del armas and not to far from the mall. She also spoke alot of English which really helps.
