La Casa de Irma is a traveler’s dream. Great value for the money, and Reynaldo, the owner, is not only super friendly but always goes the extra mile. He set up a convenient WhatsApp conversation to stay in touch, arranged a taxi to pick us up from the airport, gave us amazing restaurant recommendations, and kept our luggage safe while we were away on a trip to Colca Canyon, without asking for anything. When we came back, he even offered us a room to take a shower, again just out of kindness. Like I said, La Casa de Irma is a traveler’s dream. Thanks again, Reynaldo.

Not enough toilet paper, but we ask for an another roll without any problems!

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.

The staff were really friendly and arranged for us to check in early after an overnight bus from Arequipa, for a half night rate, an absolute bargain and allowed us to catch up on much needed sleep. The beds were so comfortable, we had a good sized room with private bathroom which was spotlessly clean, kudos to the cleaners. The main guy on reception made us very welcome and we were able to leave our rucksacks there while we went on a two day tour to the Colca Canyon.

That we couldn't stay longer!

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

Good value Great central location and quiet, safe area Amazing friendly owner and staff, provided lots of recommendations & checked-in often Rooftop breakfast with mountain views 24 hour tea/coffee/water station in reception Clean room with comfy beds

Rooms are not very soundproof and you can hear people around at night, however it is a quiet hotel and all guests were mindful of noise during our stay so this wasn't an issue

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.
