Great roof top bar and free breakfast of bread and jam and coffee. Other hostels do better free breakfasts though, like friendly APQ, who do amazing pancakes or scrambled eggs! They have a bar, very funky with reasonably ish priced drinks. Pool table is terrible though, not enough balls, tiny pockets and big slopes on the table. When the showers were hot, they were great. But they were not always hot. WiFi was great!

Had to wear a wristband so the staff knew who to let in so there was no chance of randomers wandering in. Lots of people staying while we were there but not a particularly party atmosphere in the evenings. Rooms were pretty small but all had lockers, and there were lockable places you could charge your phone/ipod.

I went with my partner to spend a short vacation. It was the first time we were traveling to Amsterdam and staying on David's boat was the most successful decision I had. If I have to return to Amsterdam I am totally sure to stay again. Dor

Fresh brewed coffee, friendly staff, good beds and location. I really enjoyed my time here at Bothy. It was quiet and very clean. The staff are cleaning constantly. All of the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. I ended up with a dorm and bathroom to myself which was very nice. I would recommend this place to anyone and plan on staying here on my way back through Arequipa. Breakfast (pancakes and fruit) is served on thier rooftop patio with a nice view of the city and surrounding volcanoes.

The staff at Bothy's were amazing! everything we asked of them was done straight away and they were always friendly and happy to help. Before taking a shower, I asked about the hot water and they always turned it on for me. They made us feel very welcome at all times! There is a great movie room to watxh the dvds that they loan you.

Overall average hostel. Friendly staff and cute dog, but some of the bath rooms are in serious need of face lift / clean. Saying you are a listed building is not an excuse to avoid fixing exposed electrics, and grubby bath mould.Pancakes for breakfast are refreshing change for some, but fruit would be welcome.Please please don´t play the music so loud in the morning in the bar / reception!

Was a little disappointed. Beds are comfy and rooms are clean... but. Breakfast is bad (except for the good pancakes) - showers are at best luke warm - atmosphere is boring - why do the staff start playing loud music at 6am?? Location is good, just a few minutes to the main sights/bars/etc. and where possible the staff are helpful. Not the best hostel, but I guess its not the worst either.

great hostel, very close to everything. Dorm rooms don't have locks so make sure you use the lockers for your small valuables. Hostel complex itself is very secure. Very helpful staff, not all speak English so get your information in the day time. Hammocks are bliss.
