“Bad service, bad rooms, bad location....bad bad bad”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 March 2010

I suppose it depends what you're looking for. If you're travelling alone and don't mind the state of where you're sleeping and want to party this seems like a good enough place to do it as they have activities arranged every night so you can meet loads of like-minded people.

Although not ridiculously far from town, there are better places to stay IN town. You wouldn't want to be a girl walking back here at night alone, it's a very dark and quiet road.

Shared showers are surprisingly clean but the rooms can only be described as worn out and therefore don't feel very clean.

Service was particularly unimpressive with staff clearly having no clue about the area, having given us some terrible advice I think we'd of done a better job on our first day in the town. Also they're not the best at ordering taxis.

“Try-Hard Party Place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2010

To be fair, I should not have booked into this place as, although I fancy a drink now and again, I was not up for a ḿad-fer-it' party. Although it didnt seem that the people there wanted to party that much (more play pool or watch DVDs), they insisted on playing music so loud it shook the rooms (including my dorm upstairs). It seemed very keen to prove itself as a wild party place but the staff were the ones who wanted to party. It was fairly clean though, there was a paltry free breakfast and hot water showers.

“BARequipa Brilliant BABY!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2008

Just brilliant, was going to stay for just 1 night ended up staying a week, great party, always loads of people around to hang with and see the sites.
Comfy beds, clean, secure, super friendly, James the manager was brilliantly helpful and way too patient, god bless the British.
Couldn't ask for more, after staying in the Lima "The Point" was even more charmed by the one in Arequipa.

Stayed August 2008
