Novotel Arica ★★★★

"Alfredo guy made me really good and delicioso waffles!! No joke. Those waffles were really really really really delicioso!"

Hotel Illariy Wasi

Antay Hotel & Spa ★★★

"Not a 5-star hotel by international standards. More like 3+ or4. Pros: - 2 pools (1 indoor—requires bathing cap; 1-outdoor) - Connected on 3rd floor to “The Boulevard” an outdoor shopping center with ＞10 different restaurants and bars - Spacious room with nice bathroom Cons: - Hot water is not hot, just lukewarm - Only 2 towels provided - Outdoor pool lacks sufficient sun umbrellas, I.e. there are numerous chaise lounges but no coverings over them to protect from blazing sun - Insufficient staffing at front desk during busy check-in/out time so we had to wait 15 minutes to check in"

Hotel Arica ★★★

"Dirty, old hotel, terrible staff, noisy rooms, breakfast with pre-packaged pastries. I left a day early."

Hotel Apacheta ★★

"This place is very special. We agree entirely re: the need for a refresh, especially in the rooms but it is otherwise incredible. A shoutout to Franco who goes above and beyond. Meals are great and the views are out of this world. It was hard to leave. It is hard to explain that even with the need for refreshing this place is one of our top favorites."

Raymi House Hostel ★★

Hotel Avenida en Arica ★★

"The hotel is very comfortable, clean, comfortable and comfortable, the pool is thankful and the daily breakfast is varied."

Hotel Plaza Colon ★★★

"Cheap and very good location, the hotel is old, old lift, old pieces, has no air conditioning, has a ventilator to help lower the temperature of the piece that in the evening/night becomes unsupportable, We implement the things you pass are poor, luck we got a little soap, don't change towels, the Shampoo is in a fixed dispenser in the shower, breakfast is acceptable, Although if you come very close to the closing time and remains little do not repose, it has no dryer, they made us a (it must be asked), it would return only by the location"

Hotel Diego de Almagro Arica ★★★

"It needs to be made clear that there was nothing inherently wrong with my stay at this hotel, hence the still-solid four star rating I’ve given. The rooms delivered in comfort and functionality, and the people at check-in/out and the on-site restaurant were friendly and very helpful. My issue boils down to how much I was charged to stay here. Read the details of my experience below: - Location and atmosphere: The property directly faces the Pacific Ocean and affords awesome views. One can walk to the beach and a few nearby restaurants fairly easily, although I didn’t spot a way to get to the beach without having to circle around the front of the building. Inside, the atmosphere is dated, but things are still clean. Only one elevator was functioning when I stayed, but it didn’t cause too lengthy of a delay to access. I encourage the property to begin renovations as soon as possible. - Service: All the employees were warm and friendly. The reception folks spoke proficient English. When I needed to load my electric wheelchair onto a taxi, the workers who came to assist with the lifting were so gracious and willing. Moreover, a member of the housekeeping team I encountered upon walking to my room was very cordial and sweet. The service here is excellent. - Room: I requested a room facing the ocean, and my request was granted. While the views didn’t disappoint, the amenities in the room were minimal, and the furniture and bed was quite basic. Of course, I’ve never stayed at this hotel before (which is apparently part of a Chilean hotel chain with locations all over the country), so I certainly could’ve arrived with expectations too high. Nothing was terrible about the room, but something could’ve been added or polished to take it a step further. It was just very basic and ordinary. - Value: I’m honestly doing this hotel a favor by reserving my criticism in the “value” category rather than the “service” category, because the argument could be made that customer service resulted in this. I’m choosing to say this here because I truly don’t think the hotel staff were aware or purposefully trying to overcharge me. But they did, both literally and in terms of how I perceived my very basic room to be. I should’ve paid online in advance; whoops. What would’ve cost me (including taxes) $75-ish USD on any major booking site, had I just taken three minutes to connect to Wifi and reserve it on my iPad, ended up costing roughly $125 at checkout. Mind you, I had specifically checked the sea-view rooms online, not simply the lowest-tier room in the hotel. I also only bought two bottles of water, surely costing no more than $4 USD each. I was grossly overcharged. I attempted to explain this and ask for a lower amount, but a combination of the language barrier and the fact the bill was inevitably final left me owing far more than my stay was worth. I may stay here again for a great price if I can pay in advance online, and especially if renovations to rooms and"
