We stayed 2 nights in this grand, boutique hotel, a 15 minute walk to the main square in a nice and quiet area. Great restaurant,Tipika, right down the street. Highly recommend it, one of the nicest places we stayed at a reasonable price. Very clean, nice garden, impressive architecture in main building. Great value. Hans, a Dutchman, and his lovely wife were fun to talk to and very helpful about the basics of Arequipa and the restaurants.

This is a very nice hotel situated in an old mansion. My wife and I have spent 2 nights there and we were very happy of our stay. It is a family run hotel just a 15 minutes walk for the Plazza de Armas. The room was spacious and very clean. We liked very much our balcony overlooking the garden and having a view of el Misti from the room. The garden was so lovely and well tended. Nice breakfast with fresh fruit juices. The owner was very very friendly and allowed us to check out late for our evening bus ride to Cusco. We would stay here again and highly recommend it!

Posada el Castillo is hidden behind a plain wall and gate. Once in, you have a lovely landscaped lawn and gorgeous colonial Spanish residence. We stayed in the main building, and our room was very spacious with windows and a balcony. The bathroom was very modern and had loads of hot water (very unusual in Peru). The mattress was a bit firm, but that seemed to be the norm at all of our hotels in Peru. The hotel was fairly quiet and the thick walls blocked the majority of the traffic sounds.

This is a beautiful property in a very old building, hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Very clean, very friendly, beautiful garden, good breakfast in Ma beautiful room decorated with artifacts found from excavations on site. My only complaint is the bed was very hard -- I've encountered this same bed elsewhere in Peru so I think they all get their mattrresses from the same place! Would definately recommend.

My wife and I stayed at the hotel for two nights and it was great. The woman at the front desk was very helpful! The breakfast in the morning was nice including fresh juice. The hotel is about a 15-20 minute walk to the Plaza de Armas or a short taxi ride for 5 soles. The only draw back was there was no heating or air conditioning in the room. The only ventilation we had was if we openned our doors to the balcony. The balcony was shared with 2 other rooms. While we were there no one else stayed in the other rooms but it was the low season for tourism (January). If I were in Arequipa again I would stay here again!

If you are tiring of less than clean rooms, poor plumbing and eclectic styles, this guesthouse is the perfect antidote. The rooms have an understated elegance and the bathrooms are beautifully-appointed with reliable hot water - some have bath tubs. Breakfast consists of fresh fruit juices, fruit, cereal, yoghurt, cheese, ham, avocado, scrambled eggs and bread. Great value for money.

Even though the hotel was virtually empty (maybe total 4 people/groups), I was pretty disappointed with the first room offered. There is a separate section to the hotel (newer. not shown in the photos). The room was ground floor (though in the garden) and was not very impressive (unless you are purely looking for a bed to sleep in) and slightly musty (I have asthma). After asking for another room because of my asthma I was taken into the main building (in the photos) and given a much bigger room with fantastic views over half of Arequipa with the mountain in the distance. A wonderful breeze flowing through the room. My estimate went from about 5/10 to 9/10. Breakfast buffet was fine/great. Simple but fresh (only a small people staying so reduced catering for us (eggs cooked to order also)). Staff great. Location is OK, but if you don't get the views I would be disappointed with the location/price combination. Highly recommend, but be demanding about what building/room you get (room 18 is brilliant). Pool etc. etc. nice, but just find out about the room you will get first.

I was a little nervous booking this hotel because I've never been to Arequipa before and didn't know what to expect. When we got there I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel looks like a big yellow home and felt like a bed and breakfast. The couple helping us was so friendly and attentive. She made us a complimentary breakfast each morning with fresh squeezed pineapple juice. This place was also in a good location, just a 15 min walk into town. I would definitely stay here again

This place is wonderful. It is halfway between the bus station and the square. It has beautiful rooms, Historic and charming common areas, A nice pool, a good breakfast. Admittedly it is a bit away from the center but the luxury for the price will allow you to take cabs if you don't like to walk. The host is so helpful and delightful. I am not sure if she speaks English because we never tried. But she was always willing to help. I might return to Arequipa just for the pleasure of staying here.

My son and I stayed here for 2 nights and found it to be just what we needed after travel in some dusty, dirty areas. Posada el Castillo was an unexpected surprise...very new, nice facility yet with an old world feel...nice courtyard setting with gardens, ample comfortable seating areas, a pool, nice breakfast room, good wi-fi, but above all quiet. Set a half block off a main avenue, it was very quiet and secure. If you want to be in the middle of the Plaza de Armas, this place is not for you...but I did not mind the 15-20 minute walk (or 5 minute cab) to the central square. There are two main buildings...the castillo, an older style building with rich wood accents and the new courtyard building where we stayed. Rooms are fairly basic but with new furnishings, new carpet, new linens, and very nice new bathrooms with shower and tub.

This hotel really looks like a small castle with a nice garden. Very quiet at night. The rooms are comfortable and the service is excellent, including breakfast at 5 pm. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Distance to city center is a 10-15 minute walk (reasonably safe). Suggestion for small improvement: add hair dryer in rooms. Rating could be 3-4 stars.
