Hotéis em Arequipa

Great service and nice bedrooms. I forgot a coat in the closet but I remembered about it two days later after I left Arequipa. It was there, including the contents in the pockets. So, I coordinated with a friend to pick it up and send it to me by mail. Neat. Breakfast was from 7 to 9, it could be until 10 at least. Noise from the plaza is loud, especially on Sundays when there are parades of college and school bands.

-clean, spacious room, with many facilities, including both shower and bathtub; -good breakfast; -free working wi-fi; -kind staff; -beautiful public terrace with city views; -perfect and quiet location for visiting the city on foot; -no parking available, not as advertised on booking.com; I had to find myself a paid public one; -even if I booked the executive suite, which was the only interesting historical room in the hotel, I was forced to accept a "complimentary upgrade" to a superior suite, which, although a little larger, was just another boring business room; of course they finnaly admitted that the historical room was overbooked and already taken upon my arrival;

My favorite thing about this hotel are the people. They are great. Very helpful and approachable. It is run by a family so you always feel as though they care. The rooms are clean. The beds are comfortable. There was always hot water. Breakfast was included and was really good. As a solo woman traveler I'm pretty picky about where I stay and I would at Posada Nueva España again in a second. The location wasn't as central as some, but it wasn't a long walk to the Plaza de Armas and this place was worth the minor inconvenience. At night I took a taxi which cost about $2 each way. The hotel wrote out the name and number of a taxi service they worked with and I just had the restaurant call for pick-up when I was done eating. I never had to wait more than 5 minutes and the driver was always able to find the hotel without difficulty.

It was like staying with a family. The courtyard was like an oasis away from the bustle of Araquipa. It was nicely situated away from the centre of town. having to leave!
