Yes Arequipa Hostel Reviews

Yes Arequipa Hostel is a decent hostel with a fairly central location, ten minutes from Plaza de Armas. It has brightly decorated common areas, including a rooftop and communal kitchen. A delicious cooked breakfast is included, and knowledgeable staff can help organise tours at decent prices.

The Location

Despite being just a ten-minute walk from Plaza de Armas, the street has a slightly out-of-town feel. It is a quiet, mainly residential street. There is a large supermarket just five minutes' walk away. If arriving from the bus terminal, the hostel is a short taxi ride away.

Rooms and Bathrooms

There is a dorm room and several private rooms of varying sizes. The dorm room has comfortable bunk beds with lots of warm blankets. There are numerous power sockets. Lockers are available for valuables (bring your own padlock). If traveling in a group, there is not a huge price difference between the dorm and private rooms. As a result, the hostel attracts a lot of couples and small groups.

There are a few shared bathrooms spread throughout the hostel. Showers produce a decent hot water supply. Bathrooms are cleaned regularly although there is some lack of care with regards to replenishing toilet paper/soap supplies.

Common Spaces

There are several brightly decorated common areas -- a downstairs courtyard with communal kitchen, a seating area outside the dorm, and a rooftop with hammocks and some games tables. Facilities for hand-washing and drying clothes can also be found on the roof. The downstairs common areas and most rooms have good Wi-Fi connection.

With no bar, Yes Arequipa Hostel is not the most social of hostels. However the kitchen is a good place for meeting fellow travelers, especially at breakfast when most guests sit together in the courtyard to eat their free breakfast (coffee, tea, cereal, and a choice of pancakes or eggs and bread).

Almost all common areas are located outside. During the hotter months this is wonderful, but could perhaps be less pleasant during the colder season.

Tours can be organised through reception, the prices of which are in line with the majority of hostels and tour agencies. The hostel will store your belongings for free if you go on a multi-day hike.

Summary

Yes Arequipa Hostel is a calm hostel with pleasant rooms and common areas and a lovely free breakfast. It is slightly out of town, but the Plaza de Armas can be reached within ten minutes' walking. The staff can help organise tours at a decent price.
