Hotels in der Nähe von Church of La Merced, Arequipa

Nice decor and styling in the rooms, large and comfortable bed (we had a private room just a bit back from the pool area). The inclusion of a fridge was a plus point. The cleaning staff were helpful and courteous. When we checked in, the guys working reception helped us up to the room with our luggage (I had been volunteering in Arequipa for 2 months prior so had a few bags). However, when I asked on our way out if they had anyone available to help take our luggage to the taxi, it was a hard “no ofrecemos ese servicio” 😕 So I guess it depends who’s working that day as to what level of service you get. The bar area around the pool was nice with lots of seating options to chill out, but the water in the pool was absolutely freezing and even cold water swimmers wouldn’t be in there much more than 10 minutes! I removed quite a lot of bugs during my swim, so a regular clean with a net wouldn’t go amiss. The worst aspect of this place was the obnoxiously loud and unrelenting music. I couldn’t even get peace and quiet in our private bathroom. I get that the poolside party is their vibe, but I really don’t think they need quite so many hours of it in their schedule. With retrospect, I’d have chosen a quieter hotel. Finally, we booked a massage. I thought it would be a nice way to round off our trip, the price was equivalent to about £30 GBP which I thought was a good deal. I’d had an excellent massage at Selina in Baños, Ecuador, so I was looking forward to it. Well, both my massage (hot stones) and the one my boyfriend had (regular massage) were so comically bad that we still joke about it 6 months later. I asked the masseuse in fluent Spanish 5 times and in a variety of different ways to really use a bit more pressure, but no…. the two of us spent an hour each being half-heartedly rubbed with oil by someone who clearly had received very little training and was unable to locate any knots, any areas of tension, anything. I actually left more tense than I went in! I did tell the reception so I sincerely hope they have recruited a new massage therapist. Overall, there are some benefits to Selina such as the relative proximity to the city centre whilst also having a pool. However, I wouldn’t rush back and didn’t find it quite as good as the other Selinas I’ve stayed in in Central and South America.

Das Hotel ist ganz neu, sieht schick aus und ist gut gelegen. Der Service war sehr freundlich sowie hilfsbereit; wir hatten eine Tour die um 3:00 morgens gestartet ist und der Empfangsmitarbeiter hat bein Check-In aktiv take-away Frühstückstüten angeboten. Die standen dann auch pünktlich um 3:00 für uns an der Rezeption. Leider hatten wir morgens am Waschbecken kein warmes Wasser und das Wasser lief auch nicht richtig ab.

The hotel is located right on the main plaza ( Plaza de Armes) so it is incredibly easy and safe as a single female traveller. You can walk to many of the main attractions, have a wide range of restaurants to choose from and can easily find water/ A**s as all within a 2 minute walk. Room was spacious and spotless with a comfortable bed and lovely toiletries available.staff were always friendly and helpful. There is a small gym on site, pool is small ( but unheated!) but on a lovely roof terrace. If I was in Arequipa again I would happily stay, but equally I would look for the chain in other South American cities.

Ich kam um 5:30 Uhr und Frau Flor öffnete mir die Tür. Sie kümmerte sich um meine frühe Eincheckung. Frau Flor war sehr aufmerksam und nett. Sie half mir sogar, meine frühe Eincheckung in Cusco zu sichern. Super Kundenservice!!! Jedes Personalmitglied in diesem Hotel war freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Frühstück war geschmackvoll und gut vorbereitet. Das Zimmer war geräumig und sicher. Auch eine große heiße Dusche!!! Komfortable King size Betten. Zimmerservice war auch großartig. Sehr empfohlen!!!

Fantastische Zimmer für den Preis! Sauber, modern, geräumig, komfortabel! Ich wollte für meine letzten Tage in Peru ein schönes Hotel buchen und war so begeistert, dass ich mich für das Viza Hotel entschieden habe. Ich fragte, ob ich früher einchecken könnte (5 Uhr morgens), da ich mit dem Nachtbus aus einer anderen Stadt ankam. Mir wurde der halbe Preis für die Nacht (100 Soles) berechnet, was angemessen war. Das Badezimmer war in Ordnung und hatte eine richtige Regendusche. Das Frühstück war durchschnittlich. Das Dach war während meines Aufenthalts geschlossen. Insgesamt ein gutes, schönes Hotel mitten im Herzen der Stadt!
