Featuring a fully equipped common kitchen and a terrace with panoramic volcano views, Park Hostel offers free Wi-Fi and Continental breakfast in Arequipa. The main square is a 5-minute walk away.

Providing a tranquil environment, the rooms in Park Hostel feature either private or shared bathroom facilities with 24-hour hot water.

Price was excellent for a room with everything I need. Basic, but that is all I needed. The staff were very nice and helpful. When it came to transportation to and from the airport they not only knew/recommended trusted services, they also made sure to look after you and ensure that drivers gave a solid/agreed upon price. The latter part is something I rarely see hotel owners/operators do. Highly recommended. The location was also great and one can easily walk to the Plaza de Armas, Plaza San Francisco, and great restaurants like Chicha and Victoria Picanteria within 10 minutes or so.

    Nice and comfortable hotel in a great location. 5 mins walk to Plaza de Armas and felt very safe at all times. Arequipa in general felt very safe. Make sure you book the rooftop jacuzzi for some relaxation with magical view of the volcanoes. Very good breakfast in the courtyard. Good restaurants nearby.

    Chamo and Anita are wonderful hosts and they keep a very welcoming place. They clearly enjoy meeting people and make sure everyone is enjoying their stay and are on hand if there are any issues. Most people staying there were couples in their 20s and it had a youth hostel vibe.

    Loved staying here. Its location is ideal, the beds are very comfy and it felt extremely safe. the front door is always locked and someone needs to let you in. They do a good job of keeping track of who is coming and going to. It is very much a backpackers hostel and very lowkey.

    One of if not the best hostels we’ve stayed at in the whole of South America. It is basic and simple but that doesn’t matter when it is such good value for money. Everything was perfectly clean, including the shared bathroom. This is in the best location possible in the city, really safe and super central - right next to the main square and all tourist attractions. A simple breakfast included which was nice.
