What reviewers say

Visitors frequently praise Azul Colonial for its charming, well-decorated boutique atmosphere, attention to detail, and the warm, personal service from the owner and staff. However, one review described the room as "disgusting" with significant cleanliness issues, contradicting other guests who found the hotel clean. Some guests also noted that the hotel is a bit of a walk from the main attractions and experienced issues with the WiFi.

About this place AZUL COLONIAL

Azul Colonial, a compact Spanish‑colonial hotel on Calle Lima, sits a few blocks from Arequipa’s Plaza de Armas and offers a quiet courtyard and friendly staff. The rooms carry subtle colonial décor, and the inner courtyard is painted with faded tiles that feel like a step back in time. Guests consistently rate the place 4.5 stars, often citing the staff’s warmth and the hotel’s easy accessibility. Azul Colonial is a mainstream gay‑friendly property, not a niche venue as some earlier listings implied. From the lobby you can walk to the Santa Catalina Monastery and the main square in under ten minutes, and most Colca Canyon tours pick up right in the historic centre. At 2,300 m above sea level, the altitude can take a while to adjust, so it’s smart to keep the first day light. The city’s LGBTQ+ scene is small and discreet, and the hotel has no phone or website listed—book through a trusted platform instead.

The hotel is gorgeous, we were treated very well, the breakfast is great, in a very beautiful location, and the short distance to the Plaza de Armas is essential for relaxing without noise.

One of the nicest hotels I stayed during my 5 months trip around Latin America. As the name says, the architecture and interior design are in colonial style. Small but very cozy inner courtyard! The owner was very friendly and helped us on all our inquiries. The only downside I could find is the malfunctioning WiFi (not so bad if you have a local SIM)!
