The poolside al fresco dining and bar was so great. The river rafting tour they arranged was super fun, with convenient pickup from the hotel. The staff are all so nice. The room was cleaned well and was quite comfortable.

Nice place to stay, on the minuses expensive food and personal could be somewhat more flexible for some things, but it’s like this in more “industrial” hostels I guess

A vibey hotel/hostel in Arequipa. Short distance to most things. Big rooms, great showers, good breakfast and super staff. Only complain is that the music from the bar is really loud in to the rooms so you can't sleep early if you want to.

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.

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

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.
