While many patrons find the meals delicious and fresh, others feel the choices are limited and somewhat basic. The location of the café is often praised for its central convenience, making it an ideal spot for guests eager to explore the nearby pier and Paracas's attractions.

Arena Hostal offers guests a mix of modern and functional accommodations, marked by an outstanding commitment to cleanliness. The rooms are simple yet comfortable, featuring cozy beds and spacious bathrooms. Despite their compact size, guests find them functional and pleasant, with cleanliness being a notable highlight. Newly renovated, the rooms exude a fresh and contemporary vibe, elevated by a clean and welcoming ambiance.

Some guests note that ventilation could be improved as the rooms tend to retain heat, and showers can take a while to provide hot water.
The hotel's proximity to various tour centers is a convenient feature for travelers, and guests praised the friendly service provided by the receptionist. For dining, many opted for the Arena Café, conveniently located next door, offering a broad range of meals.
Overall, Arena Hostal stands out for its cleanliness, comfort, and excellent location, though improvements in room ventilation and lighting could enhance the overall guest experience.
