I am very dissapointed with this place. To begin, they said they will pick us up from airport for no additional cost and then they charged us the taxi rate that we had to wait fo rhalf an hour to be picked up.. Second, rooms were not available when we arrived this palce and we arrived at 15:30, we complaint... More

During my backpacktrip this hotel was a great place to tread myself with some luxury! The nice room with a good bed and clean bathroom was exactly what I needed. The breakfast was good and they also serve some small meals at night. The friendly staff gave me a lot of tips about the city. When there weren't any taxi's... More

This hidden jem in a very nice, quiet neighborhood is a quiet oasis for your trip to Arequipa. The rooms are simple yet well done and clean; the courtyard offers a quiet space to reflect in peace. Breakfast was hearty and was served later than daybreak! The staff was very friendly and accommodating to my every request. Best of all,... More

We visited Arequipa Peru to pick up our son from his LDS mission. We chose the La Gruta Hotel because it was just one block from the mission home. We were VERY pleased with the facility. It was clean, comfortable, friendly, and accommodating. We were there an entire week and enjoyed it the whole time. They provide a very nice... More

The hotel was quite clean and very warm (heater available and very helpful in the winter months). Room has a lot of glass but looks out to the beautiful gardens. The staff were great and only too happy to help. Breakfast was great value and fresh. Coffee can be ordered at night - just ask for moi caliente. Cleaning was... More

I love this hotel! The staff are so friendly! On the first day we arrived early, but we were still able to check in. The front desk staff gave us a map of the city and helpful directions. The hotel is nice and small, every room comes with a bath. There´s internet service available and complimentary breakfast of eggs, bread,... More

I was recently staying at the hotel and all accomodations were fine for the most part. I was walking back from downtown with 3 friends and we were within 1 block of the hotel when a taxi violently mugged me. My body was dragged behind the car before I was able to get away. Apparently this type of mugging is... More

The pluses for La Gruta are its helpful staff and its quiet location within walking distance of the city's main attractions, including the Santa Catalina convent. The minuses are that it feels quite spartan. The room I had was clean, but rather dark and uninviting. I arrived shortly after 7 AM, though, (the hotel arranged a transfer), and my room... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here our first night in Arequipa. It is tucked in a neighborhood cul de sac only a ten minute walk through a large public park, from historic Arequipa Plaza de Arms. We really enjoyed the sunny quiet gardens and large bright room. We stayed in one of the suites which was a great value. Queen... More
