We stayed two night as a rest point, as well as used the services to book the colca canyon tour. Super convenient and clean, great food and great bar. We stayed in the suite and the hot water shower was so enjoyable. The only very weird thing is the suite includes a coffee machine...but you have to buy the coffee to put in it. Makes no sense

Qema feels like an arctic oasis, there’s lots of fun spots to sit or explore around their beautiful campus, but you’re still mere steps away from the historical center and many of the tourist sites. I was in the shared female only dorm which was clean, comfortable, and felt safe & secure. Would highly recommend qema.

Everything was great overall. The only issue was that I was double charged for the stay. I had paid through Expedia, but at check-in the staff didn’t see the payment, so I paid again. Later, the hotel issued a refund once the mistake was discovered. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay and I really enjoyed it.

The pool area with a treehouse and a suspended bed. The staff was great, we arrived early and they placed us in their Cinema & Library until the receptionist arrived. Staff was helpful with any questions and assistance we needed.

Super hôtel en famille!

Super hôtel à Arequipa! Le cadre est top, un havre de paix autour de la piscine à 5min à pied de la plaza de armas. Petit dej copieux et bon, repas du midi sympa et varié. L’hôtel propose des excursions aux tops (réservation 24h avant), massage possible sur place aussi + activités tous les soirs. L’ambiance est calme tout de même, la chambre spacieuse et confortable. Nous n’avons pas eu froid (les couettes sont chaudes). Laverie à 1min à pied avec lavage en 1h express. Je recommande
