    I would prefer a buffet breakfast with some local fruits.

    The hotel is beautiful, the rooftop is the best in the city to view the sunset. We had a great room, design is very authentic and charming with old wardrobe and stone basin. The bed was huge. The staff kindly took our luggage the day before checking in as we had a trip to Colca canyon.

    Everything was wonderful - no negative comments.

    My favorite hotel in all of Peru. Very beautiful rooms - modern and well decorated. Lovely bathroom & shower. Quiet and lovely bed. The location was amazing and I the rooftop restaurant for breakfast offered a wonderful view and the breakfast was the best hotel breakfast in Peru! The staff was outstanding.

    Especially friendly staff. It is clear, that they genuinly enjoy their job. We stayed 4 nights there and felt like at home. Breakfast is very good but not so much variety. Despite the location directly at the plaza de armas, it was not so loud inside.

    Great staff & unbeatable rooftop terrace
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • King Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    I got a room which felt like a basement room, walking down steps and with a door facing a narrow space inside the building. This felt a little claustrophobic. I later found out that the rooms with windows that actually face the outside you have to pay more. There is no restaurant inside, only the rooftop terrace. They provide cozy ponchos but nevertheless it can be cold and a bit uncomfortable not to be able to move to an inside table.

    The best thing about this hotel is its central location & wonderful rooptop terrace with a view over Plaza de Armas and the volcanoes. Staff was absolutely lovely and very helpful. Good shower & food in the restaurant.

    So the photo of the rooftop bar looks farrrrr larger than it is. It’s very very small so be prepared. Look for the bullet hole in the clock on the cathedral. 9 oclock

    Location and room were stunning

    Katari hotel in Arequipa was our favorite hotel during our Peru trip! It was in the Plaza de Armas, so you couldn’t beat the location. It was one of two rooftop terraces on the plaza which provided incredible views. Our room surpassed our expectations! It was large and very luxurious. It had a built in water purifier in the sink which is a must during our Peru trip (saves so much on water bottle expenses). When we return to Arequipa we will be staying here only.
