Wonderful hotel!
We arrived 5:30am very early for checkin but the staff invited us to store our bags at reception, use the public spaces like their lovely lobby and go for breakfast at 6:00 in their restaurant. Check in normally isn’t until 3:00pm but we were allowed into our room at 9:30 am at no charge! We sure needed this after our night bus trip.
The room was large and spotlessly clean. The shower was hot and our room opened onto a quiet street. The hotel was super quiet as it’s on a private back street. The bed, pillows, and bedding felt luxurious! We had an amazing restful night!
The only issue for our trip was that the hotel was too far from the centre of town for us to walk there and back every day. We are seniors. We took a taxi to Plaza Mayor and it was only 8 soles, so not a deal breaker really. But we wanted to come and go from our hotel daily to see the sights for four or five days so it wasn’t convenient for us.
Lots of choices for breakfast which is included.
Very well priced.
Wished we could stay longer. Loved the hotel.

2.5 star boutique hotel.
The location is somewhat convinient.
There are no HVAC systems in the hotel so during the day, the rooms are hot as an oven and at night it's cold. Also, watch out for the extra taxes in addition to the amount you pay here at the hotels.com.
The hotel charges additional 8% for foreign passport holders provided they are in the country for less than 59 days.
If the foreign passport holder is in the country for 59 days or more, then the hotel will charge 18% even for foreign passport holders - we had to pay 18% additional taxes.
The breakfast is basic but make sure you know what you want to for sure because they won't allow replacement or more than they have allocated in their plate.
There are no breakfast pastries. They put the bread budding on the displace which are that good either. Please do not expect any croissants, Danish, or muffins. The tea and coffee selections are very basic.
The gym equipment is also very basic.
Hotel staffs are nice once you can break the ice.
Have a great view of Misti Mountain.

It's a smaller boutique-type hotel so it was fairly quiet. Not located near much (other than a nice supermarket) but taxis are inexpensive. ALL staff that I encountered were EXTREMELY friendly! I have already booked a return stay for February '23!

Hotel is clean and situated within 15 minutes walk from city center. Area is relatively quiet, better to get a room Not facing the road. Restaurant is decent and breakfast is good. The staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that we requested a taxi for 4pm for the airport and the young lady must have forgotten and called one when we showed up to check out. The taxi arrived at 4:17

A great hotel in Arequipa
We stayed at Mint Hotel when visiting Arequipa and we loved it! It is located in a very secured fenced neighbourhood and it seems to be brand new. The staff is perfect in English and very friendly. The restaurant on the 5th floor offers beautiful vistas and the barman make a great cosmo!
The only gripe we had was with the squeeky wood floor in the bedroom and the internet which was slow and disconnected quite a lot. Otherwise, we had a perfect stay!

Modern spacious rooms
We booked a junior suite and were pleased with the size and decor of the room. The bed was large and comfortable. There is ample space to put your luggage and stuff. Some rooms have a small balcony which is really nice. The neighbourhood is safe and quiet. It is however 30 mins walk from the main tourist area. Do note that there is no air conditioning system in the rooms - dint matter to us as it was pleasant in late April and we opened the windows.

Good hotel, but noisy corridor
The Mint hotel was nice. The staff was friendly and helpful and breakfast was good. The location was in a good area of the city, but you will need a taxi to really get anywhere. The hotel is located in a residential area, so no real sights to walk to or to conveniently see nearby. There is a middle area of the hotel that is open from the top floor to the bottom. Most room doors face this open corridor area. As a result, there is quit a bit of noise that travels through the corridor and even echos. Because of this, the comings and goings of your fellow hotel guests can get quite loud (and can disturb your sleep), even throughout the night and even from other floors. So, if you are a light sleeper, be advised! That is really the only concern we noticed during our stay at the Mint Hotel.
