A estrutura do hotel é incrível. Super amplo, muito bonito, área comum maravilhosa. Café da manhã muito bom também. Camas confortáveis. Localização a uma distância a pé do centro.
Sem comentários.

La habitación compartida estuvo bien, experimenté justo lo que supuse. Todo estuvo limpio dentro de lo posible, no percibí olores extraños ni nada por el estilo, no se sintió frío por la noche, el baño estuvo en buenas condiciones. La experiencia también depende del nivel de inglés que uno maneje, ya que en la habitación compartida me topé con puro extranjero. Todo conforme.

Decent rooms which were clean.
Extremely loud music (expected at hostels), but this was ridiculous. They had really loud bass from midday until 2am. Furthermore they hosted a market with local vendors by the pool on one day which meant guests couldn’t use any of the common areas (sun beds, tables by the restaurant) and the music was extremely loud. They should prioritise their guests. Also quite expensive and only one shared bathroom between 5 private bedrooms. Go to another hostel.

The place was really nice, pretty spacious and lively, the decoration was on point, the plants where good take care, looks clean, but a little difficult to find front desk ant the main entrance mostly.
I book a Private Room, which was noisy and signal couldn't get, I couldn't work at all inside the room, either sleep all night, there we're people outside and up the room, not appropriate to rest.

Das female 4 bed dorm ist super groß! Wie ein kleines Häuschen mit zwei Etagen. Die Außenanlage ist wie auf den Fotos sehr schön und der Standort gut, um Arequipa zu besuchen.
Die Rezeptionistin in der Nacht und am frühen Morgen ist absolut desinteressiert und wirkt genervt. Wirklich nicht schön so empfangen zu werden.

the whole trip was great. There is such a great atmosphere of relaxation and chillness. Everything was really well taken care off and i had little to no difficulty with regards to booking another room or making sure everything was good.
quite expensive relative to the outside prices. This is quite normal, but the difference was somewhere between 10-30% for activities, ranging to same prices for very much different (lower) quality. This is a pity because the rest was great

It was lovely! We arrived at 5am and were able to check in to one of our rooms immediately (small charge) breakfast was amazing in the very peaceful garden. Rooms super, staff 24hrs - super, excursion to Colca Canyon booked.
Luka the travel guru helped us out brilliantly with our next step. Highly highly recommend!

I’ve been to many Selina’s and this one was by far the best one. The grounds are breath-taking and the staff was incredible. Luka helped to book our tours and even surprised us with a desert for our honey moon. It was a nice sanctuary to relax while being close to everything.

Amazing common areas. The pool was such a lovely place to relax! We booked the small room with shared bathroom and was pleasantly surprised with how spacious and bright the room was. The bathroom is shared between a few rooms but it was never a problem and it was kept very clean. Location is good, just a short walk to the main square
It’s true they do have a few events, but our room was on the back so we weren’t disturbed. Pop a couple of ear plugs in and you’ll be fine. Or join the party!

The staff was amazing 👍
5.0
Really cool outdoor area, lots of sitting/laying around areas, clean pool, bar.
Close to the main square.
Bedsheets were a bit dirty, shared bathroom could be separated into a toilet and a shower room to avoid long waiting times.
There’s also not a lot socializing going on/events.

Nice rooms, nice gardens, nice staff
- Noisy parties that prevent from sleeping whereas we oftenly have to get up very early for trekking or for bus.
- The food is expensive and bad

Pool was nice
Staff was unfriendly, they literally charge for everything extra even though the hostel itself is super expensive compared to others
5.0
Super comfortable and artistic with the best hang out spots and fun music. The bar was cool and had great drinks and everyone was super nice. They also had free welcome drinks, live music, yoga and a salsa dance party while we were there. So. Much. Fun!
They played the regaton dance music almost all the time and it got a little old. Might be nice to mix it up or have a little quiet at some point. Honestly not much of a complaint.

the facilities and stay were great
In my building there was only one toilet and one shower shared with a few rooms. could do with another toilet so you can go bathroom of someone is in the shower as it’s quite a few people to share one bathroom with.
3.5
The grounds of the accommodation are very cool, and the activities that are available for guests are a lot of fun. I arrived very early in the morning and was not able to get in my room, but they let me rest in the cinema room which I appreciated.
I had a private room but shared a bathroom with A LOT of people - that is one toilet and 1 shower (in the same room) for 1 entire building of 2 person rooms.
The walls of the rooms are very thin, if the people in the room next to you are talking you can hear everything they say.
Selina hosted parties for external companies on their grounds, which were very loud and went on until the middle of night, even though one of the reasons people stay in Arequipa is to go on hikes and adventures, for which you have to get up at 3 in the morning.

Really lovely vibe in the place to chill out after a few weeks of travelling. Really close to the main square. A great guide to help book tours and friendly staff. Really comfortable beds!
We enjoyed everything about our stay here.

Amazing staff, Incredibly helpful. Great bar and restaurant, and we loved the garden on the other side of the hostel. So quiet and beautiful. The location is great. Close to the city centre and Nice restaurants. We also really recommend doing the 2 day colca tour hike. Michael from the hostel can help you and gives great advice!
The pool was not very clean.
