I loved staying in this property and its nice and decent location.
Actually everything was amazing, my next choice again in Arequipa. Came here for 3 night stay, had a fine experience. It was about 6 miles from the airport. The room was spotlessly clean with bath, the staff was amiable. The price was usd 21.

A wide array of food at breakfast, such as coffee, tea, fresh bread, jam, and eggs. Nice location, easy walk to everywhere. Really enjoyed fairly nice area.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay pleasant. the rooftop terrace provided a great view and was perfect for enjoying the sunset. the spacious room on the third floor with a big shower was a major plus.
The cleanliness of the bathrooms was not up to par during both of our stays. There were hairs on the sink, toilet, floor, and even the bed.

The hotel was a brilliant base for enjoying a pretty nice area
Near to Arequipa over the domestic problems, main square, and the monastery Santa Catalina. Comforts of a twin room with bath were fabulous.

We had a great experience at Peru Swiss! the location was perfect and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. They even let us check-in early, which was so convenient. the room was comfortable, and we loved the wardrobe area for our clothes. Despite some intermittent wifi, we had a good stay overall. the breakfast was excellent, and we enjoyed relaxing on the roof terrace, away from the busy streets.
We would definitely come back here again. Cons: Nothing could have been better!

Swiss Hospitality at Its Finest. I was amazed by the warm and friendly staff at this hostel. It felt like being welcomed into a Peruvian family's home, with their genuine smiles and helpfulness. They went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. It was like having a personal concierge service, but with the warmth of a grandma's hug.

The hostel is very close to the centre, just a short walk away from the main square. the location is convenient for exploring the city and its attractions. the rooms are comfortable and come with a wardrobe area for clothes. the staff are friendly and helpful, providing excellent customer service. the hotel has a lovely rooftop terrace with hammocks and lounges, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view.
The breakfast options could be improved, as mentioned by some guests. the cereals were stale and the coffee was not up to par.

The hotel is conveniently located very close to the main square, making it easy to explore the city on foot. Guests can enjoy a panoramic view of the city from the rooftop terrace, providing a pleasant spot to relax and watch the sunset. the hotel offers a basic breakfast with fresh bread, butter, and jam, providing a good start to the day.
The rooms are small and lack natural light, which may make some guests feel claustrophobic.

The rooms at Peru Swiss Hostel are super cozy with a private bathroom and a refreshing shower. The free toiletries are a nice touch and the free WiFi keeps you connected to the world. I also loved the room service and the 24-hour front desk for any help I needed. The cable TV and dining area in the double room made my stay even better. this place felt like a home away from home for a laid-back traveler like me.
Just a personal preference, but I would have enjoyed the option of having a smoking area. Others might not mind it at all though!
