Casablanca Hostal

Arequipa


You might marvel at what you get for your money at this hotel. It has a prime corner location on the main plaza (though with accompanying street noise), beautiful exposed sillar (white volcanic rock) brickwork and rooms large enough to keep a horse (or two) in. Service is discreet and breakfast is taken in a lovely sun-filled cafe.
