Guest Reviews
- Stefan (9/5): - Nice place!
- Christine (9/5): agréable séjour au centre ville - accueil sympathique, emplacement idéal au centre au calme, proche du monastère et de la place d'Armes, cadre authentique, coloré et fleuri, petit déjeuner agréable et produits frais, vue sur un jardin fleuri, chambre confortable, ouvert 24h/24 rien

- Susan Lynn (8/5): Beautiful property in an exquisite setting. - Casa de Melgar is a rambling old building full of character. I couldn’t imagine staying in a nicer setting in Arequipa. It is an easy walk to the Plaza de Armas. The staff are friendly and accommodating. They offered to prepare us breakfast for our 3am start on our last day. Breakfast is plentiful. The shower was a little tricky and the hot water wasn’t always reliable.

El desayuno en el patio es muy agradable y la atención del personal muy buena.
A 5 minutos de la plaza mayor andando.
Recomendable.
- Sue (8/5): - Room had a smelly drain and 1 bed was rock hard. We were swiftly moved to another room it was a double but it was a much nicer room.
Breakfast staff were very friendly
Reception staff were all nice Smelly drain in room

- Suzanne (10/5): Endroit paisible dans un décor magnifique - Beauté des jardins. Gentillesse du personnel.
- Annabelle (9/5): -
- Gilbert (7/5): Bon emplacement mais mieux ailleurs - L’emplacement et le charme de cet hôtel.
Le personnel était disponible. 0 débit d’eau pour se laver c’était l’horreur.nous avions du réclamer du papier toilette car pas disponible dans la salle de bain. Les serviettes n’ont pas été remplacé ni chambre fait.
- Georgina (10/5): Perfect for a few days in Arequipa - Gorgeous interior and really large rooms with great bathrooms and hot water. The staff were lovely and the hotel felt very safe as there was always someone on the door to lock and unlock. The location was perfect for being walkable to all of Arequipa’s main attractions. Breakfast was a little basic but still absolutely delicious and not really a complaint.

- Amandine (10/5): - L'emplacement, le charme du lieu et le petit déjeuné L'eau chaude met du temps à arriver dans la douche
- Laura (9/5): Very comfortable and enjoyable - Great location. Good breakfast and really friendly staff. Beautiful internal gardens and courtyard A little noisy both from outside bars and traffic and from neighbouring rooms. Nothing a good pair of ear plugs couldn’t solve.
- isabelle (10/5): Très bel établissement, bien placé dans le centre ville - La chambre et les espaces communs étaient très beaux , décorés avec soin Rien
- Francois (9/5): - Very charming place
Very quiet in the city center, within short walking distance of the main points of attraction
Very large rooms
Very nice garden, with possibility to have breakfast there One room had a strong musty smell which was incommodating us, but we were given another room without any problem.
The rooms were a bit dark but this goes with the style of this historical place.
- Claire (10/5): Superbe - L âme des lieux !
Le petit déjeuner On ne nous avait pas dit qu’il fallait attendre 5 min pour que k eau chaude arrive !
- Jan Willem (10/5): Lekkere plek voor meerdere dagen in Arequipa - Rustig en stil en toch vlakbij de grote plaza. Erg mooi ingericht.
- Donatella (10/5): - Una struttura bellissima, sembra di entrare in un altro mondo, delizioso il giardino in cui è servita la colazione. Le camere sono tutte diverse, la nostra forse non tanto spaziosa ma accogliente. Si potrebbe lavorare di più sulla colazione.
- Christelle (9/5): - The casa is beautiful and very peaceful, whilst right in the city center. Our room was spacious, with a lot of character. We didn’t get hot water for the duration of our stay.
- susenpups (10/5): - Ein wunderschönes Hotel in einem ehemaligen Bischofshaus. Man fühlte sich wie in einem Kloster und dennoch gemütlich. Der Garten und das ganze Ambiente haben uns sehr gefallen
- Ana Mª Minguet (7/5): - La ubicación y el trato del personal.Fueron muy amables y atentos . Eran habitaciones interiores que daban un patio interior.Por la noche se oía la música de la Plaza de Armas, y la música rock de un local próximo.
- Mark (8/5): Great location for a stay in fab Arequipa - Location is excellent, building is quirky and feels homely, lovely garden and breakfast spot Upstairs rooms a little small, try and get a downstairs one!

- Laurent (7/5): - Les bâtiments et le jardin sont beaux La douche sans tapis de sol et l'eau chaude qui met longtemps à arriver.
Les prises électriques pas faciles pour des appareils européens
- Eric (9/5): Très bon sejour - Excellent emplacement, très belle maison (ancien monastère) avec de beaux jardins et patios. Service et accueil très souriants. La chambre était très sombre - ce qui n est absolument pas un problème en soi, mais l éclairage artificiel disponible était trop faible. Équipement salle de bain assez fruste.
- Lanari-Boisclair (9/5): Exceptionnel, je recommande. - Everything!! Tellement charmant et unique. Staff très chaleureux. Petit déjeuner simple mais bon. La cuisinière était vraiment de bonne humeur - vue sur jardin magnifique avec les petits oiseaux qui chantent!
Lits confortables et salle de bain de rêve.
A quelques minutes à pied de tout. La seule chose… peut-être un peu bruyant. Notre chambre donnait sur la rue. Avec les bouchons, parfait.

- Dingoxt (10/5): -
- Peg (9/5): A beautiful historical hotel with a wonderful garden area to linger in. - The grounds of this hotel are absolutely beautiful! The breakfast was awesome in a wonderful garden setting.
We did like the historical setting of the hotel and the feel of stepping back in time. The shower was great! The location of the hotel is within walking distance to the Cathedral square and many historical sights and restuarants. It would have been nice to have better lighting in our room.

Si trova in una posizione ottima, molto comoda per chi viaggia con Peruhop come noi.
La struttura è incantevole, un tuffo nei passato e veramente piacevole il giardino in cui rilassarsi con un libro! Al nostro arrivo il pavimento della camera era molto polveroso e il bagno piccolino.
I mobili antichi hanno un odore particolare per chi non è abituato.
- Dèlon (8/5): The place had character and charm. While it was comfortable and convenient, a few modern additions like fan, aircon and - Loved the architecture. The place had loads of character and charm. The rooms were a little stuffy. A fan would have been nice. And more lighting.

- Willem (7/5): Fantastic building but a little tired. It needs Some love - Beautiful building with garden, friendly staff, great location, very good breakfast. Very large rooms. The beds are old, noisy and uncomfortabel. The bathrooms are very outdated. The rooms and the whole hotel have a huge potential to be the best boutique hotel in town….but it needs renovation and love.
- Michele (10/5): indimenticabile - Un luogo di grande fascino, ci ha conquistati. Personale molto gentile, struttura magnifica e indimenticabile. Siamo stati molto contenti di aver soggiornato qui , ci siamo innamorati del posto e la camera era magnifica.

- Amaia (10/5): Es una casa arequipeña con encanto y perfecta para hacer una parada en tu viaje - Me gusto el alojamiento por sus bonitas paredes de colores y amplios jardines. Las habitaciones amolias y muy limpias. El personal muy amable Nada
- Judy (9/5): - Beautiful surroundings. Women at breakfast were wonderful. Rooms comfortable. Nothing
- Nicola (4/5): Would not here again. - Great location. Rooms were like dungeons and very cold and damp. No heating. Windows had no glass in the top so you had to shut the shutters to keep warm. Doors were very hard to open, would be a fire hazard. Bed was so hard I had a sore back every morning. No tea or coffe making facilities. Breakfast was average, person serving it was lovely. Very run down. Would have left if we were there for more than two nights.
- Ariel (8/5): Sehr schön! - Super Lage und sehr nettes Personal. Gemütlich und schöne Unterkunft. Wasserdruck könnte besser und das Wasser etwas wärmer sein. Zumindest wenn man in der Regenzeit vor Ort ist. Sonst war alles toll.
- simodb (7/5): - Lo stile della casa e la camera molto ampia.
La posizione ottima per il centro e la disponibilità della stana prima del previsto camera molto fredda e doccia non calda. Nella stagione delle piogge non il massimo

Sehr aufmerksam Es hat alles gepasst
- Oliver (10/5): -
- Fiamma (8/5): Una casa d’epoca semplice e accogliente - L’antica casa incantevole (era la residenza del vescovo) a due passi dal monastero e dalla piazza, la gentilezza di tutto lo staff, la colazione di fronte a un giardino fiorito, la camera spaziosa e arredata con mobili d’epoca. Tutto molto autentico a un costo davvero onesto. La stanza era un po’ fredda, ma ci hanno portato una stufetta e il letto aveva molte coperte. L’acqua in bagno non è caldissima e ha poca pressione.
- Thierry (9/5): So cute, typical, not noisy, I recommend - This is very cute hacienda, lots of patios, covered passages, rooms have so much cachet. There is a backyard, there is a lot of charm in this place.
It's perfectly located, staff is nice and helpful, breakfast is so so but frankly, it is much better than what the lonely planet will let you think. I'm glad I booked it.
Oh, and it's very quiet, despite the night clubs and everything. I slept well.
- Sean (10/5): Perfectly located and a charming Hotel. - Character filled and tranquil.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Good breakfast . Nada
- Aleyda (8/5): Genial - Ubicación excelente. El edifcio y la arquitectura del espacio woww. Y la atención del personal de recepción.
- Christian Beat (9/5): -
- Eyre (6/5): - Loved the building and the staff were very helpful. The room was dark and hot. The bed was uncomfortable and noisy. The bathroom was small but that wasn't a problem.
