We tripped over this hostel in Arequipa occasionally, and were very happy to have found such a low-budget, but very decent place. It is not even close to being glamorous, but has everything to suit basic needs: a tiny kitchenette, free wifi, a terrace with view on Misti volcanoe, and showers with 10 minutes of hot water and small but...

this hostel was awesome, the owners were more than helpful for booking buses, tours. they had hot showers, a kitchen though small it had all the basic things. It is in a great location close to the main square and supermarket. We had a few issues due to mass amounts of rain we couldnt get to our bus. The owners... More

It is a friendly and nice place to stay, and also a good location. My mistake was that I booked a private room and ended up in a dorm that was empty anyway, for more than double the price.If I had just walked in and took the bed it would have much cheaper! Live and learn. More

I need a place with hot water for shower, a firmish bed, wifi and a great location. The Misti has all of these and didn't burn my wallet, I would stay again. Owner family are very friendly, rooms are basic, power, hot water, good wifi and did I say the location and cost were great? There are two flights of... More

PROS: Nice and helpfull staff, nice location, everything we expected (hot water, wireless) CONS: The bathroom was a little bit dirty (with hair); when they sold us the 2 days trip to the Cola Canion they promised us there would be hot water and wireless internet at the hotel we would stay in that night (at Chivay), and there wasn't...

The hostel was very relaxed and all the staff were really friendly. There was a nice atmosphere and felt very secure and safe. We were able to come and go as we pleased morning and night and if there was anything we needed the staff were very willing to oblige. The rooms were comfortable and clean as well as the... More

For it´s price, it is well above what you can ask for. We slept in the dorms, and still it´s quite at night and peaceful during the day. It s about ones block from the main plaza, and the hostel is surrounded by good food. More

We booked here due to all of the rave reviews on here....however, like the previous review, we did not feel safe in this hostel. The location was great and we felt completely safe in that sense, however, the locks to the rooms probably could have been picked with a hair pin, or a good shove and the door would have... More

For a hotel rated so high, it was a surprise to see that it wasn't up to that standard. Yes, it is centrally located to the town square and the staff were friendly, the rooms were just sufficient and my wife and I did not feel all that safe. Compare this hotel to the Casa de Avila hotel on the... More

Hello: My name is Fernando Polanco, I am the owner of the Hostal Posada Misti House, I read the comment and makes me wonder, that the host develops its critics have argued that despite the Misti House has good location, friendly staff, and standard rooms, say the house of Avila Hostel (Hostel references that I consider good) where, after staying,...
