All the staff are very kind and helpful to plan our traveling in Peru. Very cute hostel with nice patio. View from the window is cute!

I have been visiting Arequipa for the first time and Casa de TIntin is outstanding as one of the most comfortable place in town. It is located in a very peaceful and elegant part of Arequipa, the building is very original and recently reformed. The owner is very friendly, she speaks fluently at least French and English and she prepares great muffins (banana and walnuts, mmm!) for breakfast!!

This is a small hotel with about 9 or 10 rooms. My room (7) was comfortable, and reasonably quiet (the only real noise was the river which was quite pleasant). The hotel does have a homely feel with a nice sitting area downstairs, a small outdoor courtyard and a roof patio. The staff were all very friendly, although my lack of Spanish meant that the owner was the only person who I could really talk to. I thought the location was great - the adjacent river is pretty, the surroundings streets well kept and clean, and if a 15 minute walk to the city was too far when I was lazy, it certainly was a short and cheap taxi ride.
For an Australian used to a good variety of breakfast cereals and bread the breakfast was a bit bland, but I suspect this is typical for small local hotels. The expresso coffee was very good though!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Casa de Tintin. Anita, the owner, does everything to make you been at home. The rooms are quite attractive. (Get one with a balcony, if possible.) The common rooms are comfortable. The breakfast is excellent. All the staff speak excellent English and are extremely helpful in arranging transportation or answering questions about Arequipa. The Casa is located in a very quite residential neighborhood and a fair walk from the center. There are no restaurants nearby. But, if you do not feel like walking, taxis in Arequipa are very cheap and the staff at the Casa are very happy to arrange one for you. Thank you, Anita, for making our stay so pleasant.
