+++++++ About Lonely Planet+++++++
We are in the 2010 edition of Lonely Planet. Although they made a mistake putting our old address Av. Cruz Verde where now is operating another hostal that has nothing to do with us. Make sure you get the right address listed on the top. When you take a taxi to come you have to give the taxi driver the address or the taxi could take you to our old location.
+++++++++Warning about the taxi drivers+++++++++++
There is a high level of corruption between the taxis inside the bus station and some hostales! So please do not believe the taxi drivers when they try to persuade you not to come to
Arequipay Backpackers Hostels taking you to other hostel, they always lie because those hostales pay the taxis commission and for sure you will not find a better hostel like Arequipay, our comments are our best guarantee!
