There are many hotels, hostels, and guest homes
in Arequipa. The following below are just a few that the author is familiar with. You might be surprised, but you can often bargain or ask for a better price from
many hotels. If you fly into the Arequipa
airport there are several tour agency and hotel booths near the exit of the airport. The actual airport is quite small and easy to get around. You won't get lost! If you have additional lodging options for this page please email

La Casa de mi Abuela
is located at Jerusalen 606. This is a three star affordable hotel. Prices range from $25 for a single room to the low $30's for a double. This hotel is safe, clean, comfortable and the grounds are well manicured and very suitable for relaxing. Additionally the
entrance is well guarded, even though the guard may see you enter and leave several times he always asks for your room number and your name!
There is a nice
pool, albeit unheated, hammocks and tables in the inner courtyard. A restaurant and a small internet cubicle are also available. (the price for the
use of the net is more than you will pay at a regular internet cafe and is not included in the cost of the rooms). The rooms are nothing fancy - but they are clean. The showers in the rooms I stayed in were spotty at best. PHONE: 24-1206
