We had an amazing experience at this hotel! Everything was simply perfect! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, and the entire organization of the place ran smoothly from start to finish. What really stood out to us was the owner’s kindness and hospitality. He welcomed us warmly, even offered us a free beer on arrival, which was such a nice touch after a long journey. After our tour on the last day, even though we had already checked out, he kindly let us use the showers before we left for the bus terminal. That kind of generosity really made a difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great experience and outstanding service!

Fantastic location, within the historic centre but just far enough from the busy area for it to be quiet. Hotel is down a short alleyway, so hidden away. Lots of coffee shops, restaurants and things to see and do within 10 minutes walking (max). No lift so not suitable if you can't walk up the stairs. The breakfast was lovely, on the top floor over looking the rooftops. Some staff didn't speak english but they had translate on their computer, so we had no issues with asking questions. They were all very friendly. Our bed was big enough for 4 people to sleep in. Everywhere was very clean. Definitely recommend staying here and worth the money too.

Nothing

I arrived at 6 am by Perú hop bus & they said I could leave my bags there, but better than that the owner welcomed me & said they had a room ready for me that I could have now, great news after a very long journey from Bolivia. Very comfortable bed and great hot shower with good water pressure. Room cleaned daily with fresh towels. Nothing was to much trouble.

Would have got a 10 apart from watered down juice & not great coffee at breakfast. As well as bit of noise from the dogs at certain times, but is there home as well.

We had a wonderful time at La Casa de Irma. The hotel is newly renovated, the rooms are super comfy, the owner is extremely welcoming and friendly, he accepted us very early in the morning and also provided many recommendations regarding our visit in Arequipa. He shared with us many wonderful stories and we can assure you that our trip would not be as amazing as it was without meeting him. Very well recommended for anyone visiting the beautiful city of Arequipa! We will be back some day.

Clean comfortable and spacious room, great hot shower with good pressure, friendly staff who cares a lot about the guests and their experience. Breakfast is in a nice little terrace which you can enjoy also during the day. Incredibly great value for money! The area of San Lázaro is really nice to walk around and just 10 minutes to go walking to the main Plaza de Armas. We’ve been to a few other hotels in Arequipa within the same price range and this one is by far the best!

In the heart of Arequipa, La Casa de Irma is a charming affordable boutique hotel. Finding such a gem in Arequipa can be a daunting task, with options typically swinging between hostels and pricey hotel chains. La Casa de Irma offers the best of both worlds, presenting an enchanting, family-owned retreat that stands out for its warmth and hospitality. Following the devastation of an earthquake, the family poured their heart and soul into restoring the building to its former glory. (It’s named after the owner grandmother). The room, lovingly refurbished, feels like a home away from home, boasting brand-new amenities, luxurious bedding comparable to that of five-star hotels, and impeccable cleanliness. Located in the historic center of Arequipa, La Casa de Irma positions you just a stone's throw away from the city's finest attractions. Whether you're eager to explore the famed Plaza De Armas, delve into the historic Monasterio de Santa Catalina (where hiring a guide comes highly recommended), or savor culinary delights in nearby restaurants, everything is within a leisurely 5-minute walk. Your hosts, Reynaldo and his wife, are incredibly welcoming, they offer invaluable advice on must-visit spots, including the city's best dining and nightlife options. And if fortune favors you, you might just join Reynaldo for an exhilarating bike tour of Arequipa.

Honestly nothing negative to say

The hotel was pristine, but what made our stay truly exceptional was the owner's thoughtfulness. After learning about our recent engagement, he not only congratulated us but also surprised us with a romantic dinner on the terrace. The beautiful wine and fantastic meal from 13 Monkas, a nearby restaurant, created a perfect celebration with a gorgeous night view of Arequipa. This personal touch transformed our stay into an unforgettable experience.

Really clean, comfortable and modern hotel. Location was walking distance to everything - good restaurants, historic center etc. Also felt really safe. Really good view over the city from the rooftop breakfast area. Breakfast was just eggs, bread and juice, but very nice. Staff were really friendly. They kept our bags safe for a few hours after check out. We really appreciated the 24 hour tea/coffee station in reception!

Nothing

Modern, yet charming still. The staff were amazing, super friendly and accommodating. Helped us book appointments, taxis and organised an early breakfast for us to take. They cleaned the rooms daily, breakfast area has a great view, lobby and main area is super nice and comfortable with beautiful fish tanks, computers to use. Tea and coffee at reception and laundry service. Great location, I can’t fault it, the best place we’ve stayed in Peru so far!

We stayed at La Casa de Irma for four nights, and it was excellent. The service was the best we experienced in Peru - the staff gave us great recommendations on things to do in Arequipa and even let me use their reception area in the morning for a digital meeting. The location is also fantastic. Highly recommended!
