We stayed 2 nights in Los Tambos and they were the best 2 nights in the whole of Peru. The staff were so helpful and spontaneously gave us a "take away" breakfast when we had to go to the Airport really early. Thomas the Htoel Manager leads from the front! Breafast was excellent and really clever idea to put the... More

Great hotel in every aspect. Everything was great - service, room quality, breakfast. The staff was phenomenal. They recommended a great tour operator for my Colca Valley tours. My only regret is that I spent only one night in the hotel. If I return to Arequipa in the future I will definitely stay here.

This was an excellent value for money hotel in the heart of Arequipa - just a minute walk away from the main square. The staff were welcoming and extremely hospitable - nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious as was the freshly squeezed juice.

Los Tambos has so much going for it – staff, location, price and delicious breakfasts to order. It is less than a block from the main square (Plaza de Armas) and about block to “Juanita’s” museum. Retrieving lost luggage while we continued to Coca Canyon was a chore the hotel staff handled congenially. The time and effort they put into... More

We had a wonderful stay with Thomas and his staff at the Los Tambos in Arequipa. We were there for 3 nights and nothing was too much trouble including me losing my wallet on the flight before we arrived, holding up their drivers who were picking us from the airports and the staff keeping us up to date on messages...

This hotel has excellent service, such helpful staff, they go out of there way to make your stay the best. The rooms are very comfortable, beautiful and quite. We would go back! They organized cooking classes and Colca Canyon tour for us. Picking us up at the airport was very helpful and at no charge.

We were so lucky to have stumble upon this gem for our 3 night stay in Arequipa! We arrived by bus and the hotel had arranged for a driver to meet us at the bus station. We were given a lovely room that overlooks the street and has a large balcony with big windows. The room was very clean and... More

The key feature and asset of this hotel are the staff, they are extremely helpful and pleasant, nothing is too much trouble for them. The hotel is well located near the main square.
