The property is very conveniently located to walk to the historic plaza or to downtown. The owner, Eduardo is so friendly and helpful in recommending where to go. The breakfast was a perfect way to start the morning! I highly recommend this place!
An amazing stay! The owners are so lovely and did everything they could to make our stay pleasant. They let us check in early after a long night bus which we appreciated so Much. The hotel is beautiful and just a 10 mins walk from the center so it’s really quiet. Breakfast is nice and the rooms are big with plenty of hot shower. Definitely our favourite hotel in Peru!
The staff is excellent, very friendly. Property is walkable to the plaza center, stores and restaurants. You can have your breakfast breathing the mountain air and enjoy the quietness while admiring the wonderful garden inside the building
Spacious room, convenient location, good breakfast on the patio, but most of all, the owner is incredibly helpful. He arranged for our laundry to be cleaned on short notice, he gave us a lot of advice on what to see and where to eat. He also arranged a driver to take us to Colca canyon. So helpful!

El hotel está muy lindo, me sentí cómodo y muy bien atendido. Lo único que recomendaría es que los cuartos tengan una plancha de ropa.
It was an Spanish colonial house converted, the architecture and surrounding area was incredible to view. Close to amenities, laundry, restaurants, shopping and all in an old world safe environment.
En la posada nueva España, no había estacionamiento, pero la atención del dueño
Fue buena .
En el
Hostal del Carmen , cuzco, nos dieron habitación para dos personas, habiendo reservado para cuatro , no tenía estacionamiento, el
Lugar sucio, viejo , toallas prrcudidass … pésima experiencia
Rather pleasant inn 10-15” from the ❤️ of Arequipa
The service at this posada was excellent. Staff was very attentive to my requests and spoke very good English. The price I paid was excellent, but keep in mind that this is not a place to expect a soap, shampoo, or bottled water to be at the ready. Breakfast on the terrace was very nice. The room was reasonably comfortable and quiet. It about a 10-15” walk to the sites of historic Arequipa.
We arrived at 01.00am and were welcomed by the night porter. The room is simple but clean and comfy. Breakfast on the roof terrace was fruit, choice of eggs with bread, butter and jam, juice tea and coffee. Really good value for money. Hot water was plentiful and wifi was OK but not great from the ground floor
Nous avons séjourné 2 mois en Amérique du Sud. De tous les hôtels et pensions que nous avons choisis, la posada Nueva España est notre favorite !, charme de la pension, accueil, propreté des chambres, le tout exceptionnel !!
Le petit déjeuner, servi sur une très jolie terrasse, n'est pas en reste. Le propriétaire, José, et toute sa famille se sont montrés très attentionnés tout le long du séjour. Nous sommes retournés dans cette pension, un peu comme quand on revient à la maison.
Enfin, l'emplacement est très bien, à quelques minutes à pied du centre historique, il permet d'être au calme le soir venu...après une bonne journée de vadrouille. Restaurants et supermarché à 2 pas. Quartier très propre. Merci encore à nos hôtes pour ce superbe séjour !
Wonderful staff who were extremely helpful. They arranged a tour to Colca Canyon for us. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. Made our stay in Arequipa pleasant and easy.
One small note is noise transfer between rooms which may be an issue for light sleepers.
Le personnel était accueillant et à notre service...j’ai moins aimé le bruit le soir (notre chambre donnait sur une bâtisse adjacente et il y avait de la dance et de la musique ) le puits de lumière dans la chambre propageait le bruit également
Nice authentic place. The lady that prepares breakfast is very friendly and helpfull and the owner speaks good english. Couple of hooks in the bathroom will help.
We had a wonderful stay! Jesus (working at the front desk) was extremely generous with his time and went above & beyond to help us plan our trip to Colca Canyon. He also allowed us to check in early to take a nap when we arrived exhausted from an overnight bus ride. Thank you, Jesus!!
Beautiful colonial hotel in a quiet neighbourhood. It's a 15 minute walk to Plaza de Armas. A number of eating establishments are within an easy walk. Staff friendly, knowledgeable, and very accomodating.
We had a great stay at this B&B. It's a 10 minute walk to the Plaza de Armes across a lovely bridge with great views. The area felt safe walking home. The room was clean and had hot water. The breakfast was a good size with tea/coffee, bread, jam, eggs and fresh fruit. There was some noise from a nearby building on Saturday night but we still slept well.
