Refugio Ecológico

THE SHORT / Refugio Ecologico is a small hotel, with three stories, located just by the river in Arequipe. For the price we paid, it was a great option, especially if you have ear plugs and an eye mask :) PROS / The location is ideal, a short walk to all the major sites and many great restaurants. Breakfast is basic, but filling. The staff are incredibly helpful! We loved having a refrigerator in our room :) CONS / The wifi is slow, but bearable. You'll definitely want to bring earplugs as it's quite noisy and in addition to the windows being very thin, there are car alarms going off all night. You'll also want to bring an eye mask as the curtains don't actually block out light. For the price of the room, the annoyances were easy to deal with!

Hotel sits across the street from a park by the river and is within walking distance from downtown Arequipa. Very helpful staff.

Pleasant. Good location.

There is nothing remotely ecological about this over priced cold water flat. We only able to take one shower during our stay,we would have moved if we weren't so tired from all the traveling,also very flimsy breakfast in the morning,best thing about this place is quietness.

For this price range it's usually a hit or miss in getting a decent hotel. In this case cleanliness, warm water, wifi and friendly staff made it a hit. The location was roughly 2 miles to the main plaza, 2 blocks from any restaurant and is also in a nice area.

This is a very nice and cozy hotel located in a convenient and safe neighborhood. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The facilities are clean and comfortable. We are happy with all of their services.
