We loved La Casa de Tintin; the location was fine, a pleasant, easy walk to the center of town and decent restaurants; the ability to book a 2-day tours to the Colca Canyon; the views of the river from our room; the quiet! and the very nice breakfast. All in all, highly recommended.

A South American Track & Field championship brought us to Arequipa and we were advised to stay in La Casa de Tintin, we fortunately did with part of the peruvian team I coached. Located in a very quiet, safe and beautiful eviroment, La casa de Tintin was the perfect place as a headquarter for my team. The friendly and familiar... More

We went to the Casa de Tintin after a let's say adventurous stay in Puno and it literally felt like heaven! It is a clean, warm, friendly family run hotel that has everything to make you feel at home! We stayed there twice, before and after our tour to Colca Canyon - and after our first stay we were already... More

Situated next to the river by the extraordinary Puente Fierro this small hotel is situated in a residential area of Arequipa. It is around 20 to 30 minutes walk to the centre of town through the residential streets which are safe enough during the day although we were advised to get a taxi back if we were after 5pm.

Nice hotel (bit oldish type) in a quiet residential area , with friendly and helpful staff (they helped us arrange a 2 day trip at Colca Canyon and transfer to Puno). Our room was very clean. Breakfast is simple (like in most hostels in Peru) but good!

We first went to the Casa de Tintin for Christmas 2007, as a couple. The first stay was great, the organization of tour efficient, and the personnel very nice, so we decided 3 years later, when we arrived as expatriates in Tacna, to make la casa de tintin our 2nd home in Arequipa. We went there 10 times during our... More

This hotel is as very nice and clean place with some great views from the balconies. It's just what you need after a long nightbus journey or a 4 day trek into the Colcon Canyon. The staff are friendly and very helpfull. Liaise with the staff before your arrival and they will be able to assist you in getting here.
