This is our Best Value pick in Arequipa. It suits couples and solo travellers who want to explore the historic centre on foot, and people heading out on early tours: guests say staff prepare packed meals for early departures.
Skip it if you travel with several large suitcases. Some rooms feel compact with little storage for luggage. Skip it as well if the lowest possible price matters most, since our Budget pick costs less than half.
Location and getting around
The address is Puente Bolognesi 129, in the Historical Center. Guests rate the location 9.9 out of 10 and say it is steps from the Plaza de Armas.

What guests say
Hotel Los Tambos Boutique scores 9.2 out of 10 from 1,074 reviews. On review score it was joint 1st of 11 eligible properties in the provider sample.
Guests highlight the location, steps from the Plaza de Armas and within walking distance of restaurants and attractions. Staff are described as friendly, ready with local recommendations and willing to prepare packed meals for early tours.
The main complaint is room size. Some rooms are spacious, while others feel compact with limited space for luggage.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov, 2 adults, one room) were €61.30 per night, almost exactly the sample median of €61.24. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
The property lists free Wi-Fi, a terrace and a 24-hour front desk. Breakfast details are not confirmed in our data, so check whether your rate includes it.
Our Budget pick, Hotel Benavides, is a 3-star with 8.8 at €25.37 per night. Our Luxury pick, Wyndham Costa del Sol Arequipa, is a 5-star with the same 9.2 score at €152.95 per night. Los Tambos matches the Wyndham on guest score for well under half the price, which is why it is our value choice.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 11 hotels in Arequipa. The Best Value pick balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price, and is not meant to be the cheapest. A joint top score from more than 1,000 reviews, at a price right on the median and a few minutes from the cathedral, made the choice easy.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Because room sizes vary here, read the room description and ask for a larger room if you need luggage space.
If you plan early tours, ask the hotel in advance about packed meals, since guests mention this service but our data does not confirm the terms or cost. Parking is not listed, so ask if you arrive by car.
