Hostal Sunny Days Reviews

Hostal Sunny Days is a small hostel run by the magnificent and all-knowing New Zealander Ross. It has a laid-back atmosphere and is the perfect base from which to explore Arica. The moment you arrive, the owner will show you around and provide you with a double-sided sheet of things to do in Arica (and how to get there) and a map which he promptly uses to show you where the minibus stops (to go to down town), the closest supermarkets, ATMs, the mall, the bus terminal, and the beach are.

The Location

The hostel is located close to downtown Arica within ten minutes' walk of the beach, the shopping mall, the bus terminal (where buses to and from Peru and Bolivia leave), ATMs, and the bus station for the minibus to down town. There is a sign facing the main street and the entrance is on a little side street. Although the neighbourhood provides everything you could need, it is very quiet.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The dorm rooms feature single beds (no bunk beds) and each bed has a nightlight and a row of electrical outlets. Dorm rooms each have a small, en suite bathroom and dorms are not locked. There are no lockers in this hostel, but you can entrust valuables into the care of the owner and he will store them in his office. There are two further bathrooms on the property for use. The bathrooms are very small and there is not much space to put ones clothes or things while taking a shower. The water is consistently hot with good water pressure and the bathrooms are cleaned daily.

Common Spaces

There are two kitchens with lots of space (also in the fridge) and the essentials for cooking a meal. The kitchens could use a bit more cleaning. There are two more common rooms with couches, tables, computers for use and book exchanges. Furthermore there is a roof terrace with lawn chairs. The atmosphere is social and it's easy to meet fellow travelers. There is a complimentary breakfast with more than just the essentials. Additionally the Wi-Fi works well throughout the property.

Summary

The owner, Ross, is what makes this hostel exceptional, as he is always happy to answer questions and make sure all guests know how to get around in Arica. And in case you are in need of some clean clothes, for a small fee the hostel even does your laundry.
