アレキパのConciencia - La EcoFeriaホテル

Nice decor and styling in the rooms, large and comfortable bed (we had a private room just a bit back from the pool area). The inclusion of a fridge was a plus point. The cleaning staff were helpful and courteous. When we checked in, the guys working reception helped us up to the room with our luggage (I had been volunteering in Arequipa for 2 months prior so had a few bags). However, when I asked on our way out if they had anyone available to help take our luggage to the taxi, it was a hard “no ofrecemos ese servicio” 😕 So I guess it depends who’s working that day as to what level of service you get. The bar area around the pool was nice with lots of seating options to chill out, but the water in the pool was absolutely freezing and even cold water swimmers wouldn’t be in there much more than 10 minutes! I removed quite a lot of bugs during my swim, so a regular clean with a net wouldn’t go amiss. The worst aspect of this place was the obnoxiously loud and unrelenting music. I couldn’t even get peace and quiet in our private bathroom. I get that the poolside party is their vibe, but I really don’t think they need quite so many hours of it in their schedule. With retrospect, I’d have chosen a quieter hotel. Finally, we booked a massage. I thought it would be a nice way to round off our trip, the price was equivalent to about £30 GBP which I thought was a good deal. I’d had an excellent massage at Selina in Baños, Ecuador, so I was looking forward to it. Well, both my massage (hot stones) and the one my boyfriend had (regular massage) were so comically bad that we still joke about it 6 months later. I asked the masseuse in fluent Spanish 5 times and in a variety of different ways to really use a bit more pressure, but no…. the two of us spent an hour each being half-heartedly rubbed with oil by someone who clearly had received very little training and was unable to locate any knots, any areas of tension, anything. I actually left more tense than I went in! I did tell the reception so I sincerely hope they have recruited a new massage therapist. Overall, there are some benefits to Selina such as the relative proximity to the city centre whilst also having a pool. However, I wouldn’t rush back and didn’t find it quite as good as the other Selinas I’ve stayed in in Central and South America.

This hotel is an ideal location for exploring the downtown area of Arequipa! The hotel is very cute, clean, and well maintained and all of the hotel staff were welcoming and kind. There was always security out front; although, I think I would have felt safe without them! I would definitely stay here again.

アルマス広場に近い素晴らしいホテル。モダンで設備の整った客室を収容する、奥に慎重に追加された美しい植民地時代の家。優れたサービスとおいしい朝食、美しい公共エリア。一部の客室からは火山の景色を眺めることができ、他の客室からは教会や街を眺めることができます。同じように美しい。率直に言って、ヒルトンがこれをキュリオブランドにしなかったことに驚いています。おそらく私がどこで見た中で最高のハンプトンです。屋上にはジャグジーもあり、そこからミスティー火山も見ることができます。国際的なチェーンのすべての設備と快適さを備えていますが、アレキパの伝統的な建築と魅力にとどまっています。間違いなくここに滞在する価値があります。実際、私たちはここに2回滞在しました!

this hotel was wonderful and accommodating and clean. we arrived by overnight by bus and were very tired in the morning but the staff brought us breakfast (helped me discover how much I enjoy Altomayo instant coffee - yum!), which enjoyed from our balcony and watched the sunrise. Our only regret was not booking enough time here and in Arequipa - seriously considering returning just to explore the city more and absolutely would stay here again. I had to work the day we were here and the wifi was strong enough for my work most of the time. Very safe location and they stopped my partner when she entered and didn’t notify them who she was, which we understood and appreciated. We also checked out very early the following day and they were equally as accommodating and friendly as when we arrived. Very close to city center and lots of accessible walking to historical and cultural sites of interest.
