The kitchen is very well equipped. And location is also nice close to restaurant and not far from beach. I will definitely recommend and I hope to come back.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Dora, the hostess, is going to take great care of you. She showers you with motherly love and makes you feel cared for. Lively yet peaceful, carnival and calm coexist in the hostel. Right next to the beach, has great options for food nearby. Felt safe for myself and my belongings throughout my stay. Arica feels much better when you stay here.

    The hostel has a nice garden and common area, kitchen, beds are quite comfortable. It's located close to the morro hill and to a big supermarket, 30 min walking from bus terminal. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was more or less quite. It's nice and safe atmosphere.

    It is a great location right on the beach in Arica. There are some good common areas and lots of public spaces nearby. Staff were very friendly and spoke good English and Spanish.

    Very quiet and cozy place to stay near the beach. Far away from noisy streets and highways, but close enough to the town centre. Hospitable hosts who know some English. Rooms are spacey enough. Nice place for those seeking safe and comfortable accomodation, and yet to stay on a budget.

    Very friendly host and nice hostel with a good price. The rooms are basic but comfortable. The hostal has a large and nice common area. It is located next to what we think is the nicest beach close to Arica. We even were allowed to check in early at 6;00 am.
