Le Foyer is a super cute hostel in a fantastic location in Arequipa. It’s only a two minute walk from the main plaza. It has a great design, was clean and had an amazing rooftops terrace with unparalleled views of the sunset. I arrived very early on a flight around 7am and was able to have breakfast on the rooftop terrace and check in to my room about 10am which I was very appreciative of. The only complaint I have is that it was EXTREMELY loud at night. To the point that earplugs weren’t even enough. Make sure that you get a room on the courtyard to save your sanity. Still, the good outweighed the bad.

Dear McKenna, Thank you for your time and your comment. We are happy you enjoyed the terrace and our service. We are trying to deal with the noise issue the best we can. We have out isolation on the outer and inner rooms and we are constantly dealing with the city council to take measurements. But most of all, we try to compensate with a great service in every way possible. Thank you for your words, they show we are achieving these and we really appreciate it. All the best and we wish to see you again soon in Arequipa.

Staff was very rude and locked us in the hotel. They would not let us leave in the morning to catch our transfer bus. The bus company ended up having to talk to them to let us leave. Terrible. I want my money back.

Response from Hendry on Jan 16, 2018
Dear Jaeger We are sorry about your comment. After doing the enquiries about it, it seems to be a confusion, as it looks like you thought we have charged you twice, or that you have already paid your booking fee. Let me please clarify that we do not charge in advance any amount unless it is a booking with a non-refundable rate. Your booking was with a standard rate, which means the credit card is used as guarantee only in case of no-show or damage to the property. Under this circumstances we kindly ask you to check you bank statements and let us know if you've been charged twice, we definitely would refund all of the money you've been charged if it was our mistake. Otherwise, I would ask you to remove this comment as it is not accurate and doesn't reflect our customer oriented ethos. The night staff had to do what it was instructed to her on situations like this, which was kindly asking you to pay for the money that was unpaid before the check out. To honor the truth, you had to pay your fee before you leave the hostel and the guys from the bus company understood that as well. It is not like you were locked in and they had to come to let you go as you're inferring in your comment. Best regards, Hendry Segovia

Good location, better alternatives can be found
We arrived late at night from the bus station, and they couldn't find our reservation. They put us in a twin room (suppose to be a double) off the breakfast area. The beds were quite comfortable, but the washroom small and didn't have a door handle on the inside so it was difficult to open. They did offer a list of tours at reception, but we found them to be higher compared with others we could find. The location is very nice, and the hotel has a lot of character.

Good location, free breakfast, not great Wi-Fi!
Le Foyer was in a great location, just a few blocks from the Plaza de Armas and really close to the Santa Catalina Monastery. Free breakfast included fresh juice, tea, 1 egg, bread, jam and butter. Wi-Fi did not work the entire time I was there b/c of technical difficulties. Rooms were clean with TV. I got a private room with bathroom that had good hot water showers. Overall, great value but I did have to frequent Starbucks for Wi-Fi.

Le foyer is very central to the main tourist attractions in Arequipa. We had a lovely stay here but be warned it is very noisy Friday and Saturday night as it is next to a nightclub. Toilets are very clean and shower is good. Wifi reception is good too. Everything you need for a short stay. Reception staff are helpful :)

2 blocks from the plaza of Armas, which is the pros and the cons of this hotel : you are in the middle of the action. If you are planning to party out, this hostel is a good option. If not, look elsewhere a or do not forget ear plugs!

Estimado Jose, Lamentamos mucho su comentario, en especial luego de haberlo atendido con el mejor esmero y haber accedido a todas sus solicitudes. Para las fechas de su reserva un hotel 5 estrellas costaba aproximadamente 950 USD por noche, se vendían en paquetes de 5 noches y ya estaban todos copados. Para las fechas de su reservación, nosotros hemos sido uno de los hoteles más económicos en nuestra categoría (2 estrellas) y hemos vendido noches individuales. Haciendo de esta manera más accesible nuestra oferta.Espero que pueda ver en nuestras otras reseñas que su situación es una excepción y no podría estar más lejos de nuestros altos estándares de calidad y servicio.Saludos cordiales, El Equipo Le Foyer

Excelente ubicación, terraza con gran vista!
Hotel con excelente ubicacion, muy cerca a la plaza de armas, monasterio y calles historicas de Arequipa. La terraza es increible porque puedes apreciar los Volcanes Misti y Chachani mientras desayunas o por la noche mientras tomas un trago. Se siente una energia agradable en general. A los alrededores hay bulla, por lo que si buscas un lugar totalmente silencioso, este no es el lugar indicado.

Das Hostel verfügt über eine sehr zentrale Lage, die Mitarbeiter sind freundlich und auf der Dachterrasse hat man einen tollen Blick auf die umgebenden Berge. Hier wird auch das Frühstück serviert, welches vergleichbar ist zu anderen Hostels im Land. Die Zimmer sind etwas altmodisch. Das größte Problem ist aber der nächtliche Lärm. Das Hostel befindet sich in direkter Nachbarschaft von sicherlich 4-5 Nachtclubs, welche bis ca. 4 Uhr laute Musik spielen, schlafen ist so kaum möglich.

We liked reading you enjoyed our services and the views from the terrace. We would like to apologise about the music, regardless it is something we have our hands tied to sort it out ourselves. We wish you a great trip and all the best!

Das Hostel liegt nur wenige Minuten entfernt vom Plaza. Das Doppelzimmer mit Balkon ist groß und perfekt für 2 Personen. Die Dachterasse ist ebenfalls toll mit Blick auf die Vulkane & Berge! Leider ist es abends & nachts etwas laut, da die Straße sehr belebt ist. Alles in Allem aber ein super Hostel!

Tudo otimo! Ficamos em um quarto privativo com banheiro privativo e era bem confortavel. O cafe da manha é servido do terraço com uma linda vista e um espaco super agradavel. Tem pao, ovo mexido, iogurte, cereais, manteiga, geleia, suco e cha. Muito gostoso e bem servido. O atendimento foi otimo e todos foram muito simpaticos. A localizacao é perfeita. A poucas quadras da plaza de armas, monasterio santa catalina, col restaurantes proximos. Tem escada pra entrar no hostel. E dependendo do quarto tem mais escadas. Mas nao foi um problema pra nós. Super indico e voltaria a me hospedar no le foyer.

Estimada Janie Gracias por tomarte un tiempito para comentar sobre el hostel. Es verdad, nuestras habitaciones más costosas son las que tienen balcón y vista a la calle, son más amplias y tienen las mejores prestaciones. Sin embargo, los fines de semana la calle se torna bulliciosa y esto es algo que venimos trabajando con la municipalidad para que puedan hacer algo al respecto. Lamentablemente, no hay mucho que podamos hacer de nuestra parte. Lo poco que podemos hacer es mejorar el aislamiento acústico, que ya esta implementado en dos habitaciones y estamos esperando como van los resultados para comenzar a implementar en todas nuestras habitaciones. Siempre agradecidos por tu tiempo, esperamos que tengas un buen viaje por Peru y que vuelvas con nosotros en cualquier momento. Saludos cordiales, Hendry

Bel emplacement, personnel décevant
L'hostel est bien situé et les chambres sont confortables malgré les petites fourmis qui envahissent la chambre. Déception par rapport au personnel qui n'est pas accomodant. Incapable de nous dire les horaires de bus, ils ont du déjeuner seulement pour le petit nombre de résidents, ils ne peuvent même pas faire une assiette de plus. Ils font des erreurs dans le storage de bagages. Mais la terrasse sur le toit est bien belle et donne une vue superbe sur les volcans.

Chère Audrey Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire, il nous encourage à améliorer. Nous sommes désolés de ne pas avoir répondu à vos attentes mais nous travaillons à améliorer le service. Nous n'avons pas trouvé de fourmis dans les chambres mais de toute façon nous avons fait une désinfection sur la chambre et nous avons vérifié les autres chambres pour ce problème, nous sommes sûrs que cela n'arrive pas. Nous avons également abordé le problème du personnel avec le petit déjeuner. Et il est très surprenant que notre personnel a confondu avec le stockage des bagages car nous avons toujours des billets pour identifier les bagages, indépendamment de ce dont nous avons parlé et ne devrait pas se reproduire.
