Room was not ready at Check-in time and ended up waiting almost 45 mins before allowed to get in room.
My family and I intended to stay at Casona Solar for one evening but ended up staying almost a full week! The staff and owners were very accommodating with our last minute changes and super helpful with restaurant and activity recommendations. We will definitely return on our next trip to Arequipa!
The rooms were spacious and spotless, with great décor and crisp bed sheets, with a view of the nice garden! The breakfast buffet was delicious, with a couple of options! The staff were attentive and provided excellent service. I felt very comfortable there!
A converted historical house with two courtyards, one with a garden and one with a fountain. I found a warm welcome here and the staff were very accommodating; a packed breakfast was offered straight away when I said I would be leaving for a tour at 3am. Some might find the rooms a little dingy if spending a lot of time in them: the ground floor rooms in the garden courtyard are really lower-ground floor with no windows. This makes them warmer in winter and cooler in summer (there is no air con). My suggestion- get out and explore Arequipa or sit in the delightful courtyard.
Muy bien ubicado, casa con historia y carácter propio. Excelente atención por los dueños y personal.
Rico y variado desayuno.
Un lugar muy bien puesto y cerca al centro histórico.
Muy recomendado.
Great location, safe and a few blocks from the center. Really beautiful restored building. Breakfast was yummm with plenty of free coffee refills. Tea was always available. They are very covid conscious and you have to wash your hands when you get inside the hotel and spray the bottom of your feet. Super clean.
Great hotel in the center of Arequipa in a historic building. Service was brilliant and the staff was really helpful with reservations and local tips. The room was clean and the hotel has a lovely garden to relax. Would definitive book here again when I revisit Arequipa
A lovely hotel - with a lovely courtyard just a few blocks from the plaza. Staff were exceedingly helpful with making things happen (our Uber to the colca kept cancelling - and the staff rapidly arranged alternative transport).
The room itself was a little peculiar - I think a function of the old colonial architecture - there wasn’t much natural light or air and the room got very warm during the night.
We came to Arequipa for our son's wedding. There were seven rooms reserved by wedding participants. We were so impressed by the professionalism and helpfulness of the staff. The courtyards were perfect for friends and family to gather. The rooms were all unique and beautiful. This was my favourite hotel during our stay in Peru. Thank you, Hotel Casona Solar!
Wonderful place. The room was adorable and the patio space was great. The staff was so kind, even packing us a lunch when we had to leave early (missing breakfast).
Beautiful property with 2 courtyards to enjoy. Our room was very large family apartment and the beds were very comfortable. Good breakfast. Outstanding staff service and friendliness, they helped us book bus tickets and taxi and their laundry service was good.
