L’auberge est très bien situé et pour le prix voila, mais les chambres ont des fenêtres cassé qui donnent sur le couloir donc on entend absolument tout, dans certaines chambres les murs sont totalement écaillé, les matelas font peur à voir , il n’y a pas de sécurité tout le monde peut rentrer dans ta chambre, Et il y a bien évidemment des punaises de lits ! Ça ne choque personne pour eux c’est normal ! Donc que je vous recommande de ne pas venir !

Place is super cheap so good value for money, but it’s crawling with bed bugs and the mattress even had holes in it. The shower facilities are fine though, party atmosphere was quite good but on the day of checkout they decided to try and charge me for cigarettes? Which is ridiculous as I don’t smoke, but all in all it was ok

This hostel was unfortunately not up to it’s standards at all. The facilities are quite old and the room was a sauna. No fan or air conditioning available. We also haven’t had water for the entire day we stayed there and the guys working there didn’t mention anything in advance even though they knew. The day after when we checked out we asked for a shower and they made us even pay for it. And the cherry on the cake were the BED BUGS!!! Absolute disappointed!!!!

L'établissement est bien situé, et sécurisé. Néanmoins, nos lits étaient infestés de punaises de lit, nous avons eu plein de piqûres et nos vêtements contaminés. Quand nous en avons parlé à la réception, ils n'en avaient rien à faire...

Amazing location right next to the historic center. Restaurant/bar on the roof was nice. Free breakfast was super cool. Very cheap Hostel! I got bed bug bites on my legs so that part sucked. However, my roommate didn’t do it must’ve just been my bed? Also, my roommates jacket got stolen but that’s not the hostels fault. Staff was super nice.

Vibe Analysis
MB Hostel Arequipa is a central, practical stop with a rooftop/terrace angle and volcano-view breakfast moments when things line up. The strongest recent notes are simple: close to the plaza/cathedral, helpful staff, decent breakfast, and a terrace that gives the stay its best personality. It is not a high-polish hostel. Recent stays repeatedly call out obsolete equipment, uneven cleanliness, noise, simple rooms, bathroom shortages or missing basics, and at least one arrival where the price was disputed. Best fit: short Arequipa stop, central location, low fuss, eyes open.
Signals to check
- Cleanliness, noise, and dated equipment come up in recent stays.
- At least one recent arrival involved a price dispute after reservation.
