Los Tambos - Boutique

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is in an excellent location, just off the Plaza de Armas and it’s within 10-15 minutes of most major attractions. The staff were super helpful, particularly accommodating a very awkward time when my bus to Arequipa was nine hours late. I really appreciated that. The breakfast was quite good and made to order. If I ever have the opportunity to return to Arequipa, I’ll definitely stay there again."
