Great place! Great owner! Great breakfast! Fantastic market close by to make your own dinners in the two spacious kitchens. Had the best steak in South America! Perfect place to relax, because there is not much happening in Arica.

The owner works his hostel just perfectly. guests who arriva early get to put their feet under the table and enjoy breakfast, others get at last a piece of cake and a fruit juice. Ross gives you a map and his personal list of things to do in the city when you arrive, and will be helpfull every which way... More

When we arrived on an overnight bus before sunrise we were told we could not have the double with private bathroom we had booked because some people already at the hostel had stayed longer so they got preference. We were slightly put out as we felt those people should have been moved but the owner was so lovely and offered... More

After a long day of travel from Arequipa, Peru we were so happy Sunny Days was our final destination. From the outside the Hostal doesn't look that great, but don't let it deter you.

We stayed here three nights and wished we hadn't booked for so many! We found the rooms to be very basic (we were in a private double with ensuite) and dare I say shabby. The bed linen was old and uninviting, the floors needed a good clean, as did the bathroom. We had trouble with the hot water (lack of)... More

This is a lovely hostel. It has two huge kitchens to cook in and a good breakfast, not just a bread roll like you get in most hostels. We arrived after a 16 hour night bus and Ross put on breakfast for us and another couple even though it was after breakfast time and he did not charge for it.... More
