Huaraz hotellia

Plussat: The hotel was well situated. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Great stay!

Miinukset: The WiFi was not working the whole time

Plussat: Excellent location and very nice hotel Comfortable beds Amazing shower (something that's hard to find in Huaraz)

Miinukset: Large rooms face the main street which is EXTREMELY noisy (constant honking, car alarms, ice cream vendors sirens and music from the arcade place across the street). Had to sleep with earplugs. Spotty internet

Plussat: Very clean rooms, great view from some rooms, good breakfast, and friendly staff.

Plussat: The location. You are two blocks away from Plaza das Armas. Also, they kept our bags safe during our 4 day trek.

Miinukset: We had no hot water in our room at that moment. They did offer us to take a shower in a different room in which the hot water did work. Also, we had a room at the street side, which is noisy! Everyone driving a car on Huaraz is big on honking their horns, so expect a lot of noise from the streets in your room

Plussat: Staff very helpful and friendly. Bed very comfortable, really good, powerful shower with lots of hot water. Highly recommended..

Miinukset: Everything was good!

Plussat: Comfortable with very helpful friendly staff. Central location. Plenty of hot water and decent wifi. We stayed there a couple of times for a few nights each time during a recent trip to Huaraz and on both occasions they automatically upgraded our room and gave us a superior, more spacious option with a kitchenette and seating area- more like a studio apartment than a hotel room. The restaurant downstairs had huge portions, was reasonably priced, and despite being primarily a chicken grill type place they had a surprising number of perfectly servicable vegetarian options. Great views from the roof terrace, and some of the rooms.

Miinukset: We liked everything! But there were a few points that others might want to be aware of..... The advertised roof terrace buffet breakfast turned out to be a non-buffet (but nevertheless perfectly fine) breakfast in the restaurant downstairs. This really wasn't a problem and the breakfast was substantial and tasty, just not what what we expected when we made the booking. The hotel is on the main street a block away from the Plaza de Armas so some folk might be disturbed by street noise especially if in rooms overlooking the main street. It didn't bother us. Don't expect anyone to speak much English although all the staff (both in the hotel and restaurant dowstairs) were super friendly and helpful. We speak fluent Spanish, so again not a problem for us.

Plussat: I spent a total of 10 nights in this hotel in June. It was fantastic. Location is as central as you get in the city. Security is good (to get up, staff has to use a key on the elevator). View from 5th floor is amazing where you can see Huascaran and the rest of the Andes (you won't see this from many other hotels). Price reasonable at only $30/night. Even if you're a backpacker and can stay at hostels for $15-$20 a night, I suggest just paying the extra money and staying at this hotel. It's such a great deal for only $30 USD a night. They also have connections with a massage therapist (only 70 Peruvian soles for an hour, or about $22 USD) that comes to your room to give you massages after tough hikes. My advice is to try and request the room on the 5th floor (best view and less noise).

Miinukset: As other reviews mention below, given that the hotel is so central, noise can become an issue. You'll hear cars honking, dogs barking, etc. It wasn't that big of an issue for me. But I also have noise cancelling headphones that I wear everytime I sleep anyways. I'm not sure how big of an issue it would have been if I didn't have the headphones. Usually you won't hear much of anything from midnight to 6 am. But outside those hours, you'll hear cars honking and whatnot. Some tourists I chatted with said they would just sleep through it. Keep in mind, this is something the hotel can't control. You'll hear noise in other hotels/hostels too that are also centrally located. One other good hostel that wasn't next to a busy street, some of the backpackers there said there was a night club that kept them up. So you're never likely to get a perfect hostel or hotel anyways. My advice is just try to get a room on as high up of a floor as you can (I was on the 5th floor and it was great).

Plussat: Close to everything, value for money.

Miinukset: Very noisy in the evening.

Plussat: Absolutely phenomenal value for $30/night with an amazing view, central location, and comfortable room. Even as a backpacker, when you're considering between hostels that might be slightly cheaper, sometimes you might be up for treating yourself to a nice hotel. I spent 10 nights here at this hotel in June. It's hard to really appreciate how awesome the location is; even if you choose some other hotel on this website, please ensure you get a central location.

Miinukset: I was bummed that the wifi was not always reliable. The restaurant on the ground level of the hotel (La Brasa Roja) had excellent wifi, which I'd usually have to go to in order to check a few things. But I couldn't always get wifi to work. I had a Peruvian simcard so I could still go on the internet. Also, as you'll read below, the downside of having such a central, excellent location is the noise. It wasn't a big problem for me. But I also have good noise cancelling headphones that I tend to wear most nights anyways (even at my own apartment in the USA, haha). If you read reviews of other hostels, they'll also have random noise problems (like night clubs nearby), so it's not anything you can fix entirely by going to other hotels; it's just the nature of Peru and Huaraz. It may not be something you can entirely avoid. And it's not the hotel's fault. But it's something to be aware of. You won't hear much noise from midnight to 6 am. But outside these hours, you'll hear dogs, cars, etc. Some other hotel guests I chatted with said they just slept through it with no problem. Would it deter me from staying here again? No.

Plussat: The staff at Aurora was so amazing and accommodating! Would stay here 100 times again just for that factor, not to mention the rooms were nice and clean and the best was comfy!

Miinukset: It was a noisy as my room was right on the street, but I put my ear plugs in and it wasn't a problem.

Plussat: - Great facilities - Friendly Staff - Comfortable beds with charging points and USB - Large lockers

Miinukset: - Utensils in the kitchen are limited

Plussat: This place was dreamy. We were given a free upgrade when the room we booked was not immediately available. It’s lovely place to come back to after a long day walking. The bed was very comfortable and nicely decorated and the room was warm. The common areas were also lovely and the staff extreme helpful.

Plussat: Comfortable bed, hot shower with great pressure (can only vouch for bathroom on 2nd floor). Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bathroom was right outside our room which made it really accessible to us and felt like our own private bathroom (even if we did have a lot of traffic going in and out outside our door. The convenience for middle of the night bathroom trips outweighed the traffic outside the door; for us anyway.)

Miinukset: The bins in the bathroom were constantly overflowing with used toilet tissues. They should be emptied more often and from a hygiene/aesthetic perspective should have a lid on them. Even on the 2nd floor it could get a bit noisy at night time with events going on in the restaurant area but with ear plugs it wasnt so bad.

Plussat: The common spaces were sweet! The cinema and kitchen specially. The decor made the place very cozy and nice to come back to. The staff was super helpful and I liked the had activities like live music and ballet..

Miinukset: It got super hot and cold in the rooms. AKA no heating but your body heat will make the room ridiculously hot in the night, because it’s like a hermetic seal. The location is not close to any restaurants.. and the hotel doesn’t serve lunch and full dinners, just snacks and breakfast.

Plussat: The many facilities and activities offered by Selina. There were yoga classes, salsa classes.. there is a library and even a cinema room, which is perfect for when you come back tired after hikes and want to have a chill night in.

Miinukset: The building was noisy. Eventhough the level of noise should be at a minimum after 11pm, there was still some noise from the common areas, which could clearly be heard from (some) rooms. Also, considering a lot of people in Huaraz intend to get up early to go on hikes in the area, a lot of guests were already sleeping by 11pm.

Plussat: The kitchen, movie room

Miinukset: The room is too small for 16 people, the water at the shower not always hot

Plussat: Such comfy bunk beds: clean white plush blankets, curtain & covered, light and working outlet by the beds.

Miinukset: Farther away from the city center.

Plussat: We initially wanted to stay 2 nights, so pleasant that we extended our stay. Here are the plus: -Super friendly and helpful staff; - Closed to center and hikes agencies but far enough from city noise; - Great hiking and relaxing atmosphere; - Beautiful morning sun on the terrace, Yoga room and terraces have an amazing view on the mountains; - Clean and comfy room - Kitchen and Cinéma are amazing

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Nice decor, friendly staff, very clean. Good kitchen and common rooms.

Miinukset: 10min walking from city center, but a bit scary for solo travelers. Breakfast should be included :)

Plussat: Nice beds

Miinukset: Cold showers, overpriced, 14 person unspecified rooms

Plussat: Clean rooms, warm shower, great rooftop to watch that sunset over the Blanca! Great hospitality and home cooked breakfast. Thanks for a great stay!

Plussat: The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, they really try their best to make your experience a great one. The place is centrally located, clean, and there are great views from the top balcony. Definitely a place to go!

Plussat: Big room, hot shower, very good service and nice staff, enough blankets to keep warm.

Miinukset: Breakfast bread is not very good.

Plussat: Help with Tour-Booking, showed us the way to a shop we were looking for, we could always ask for coca-tea, nice breakfast, hot shower

Plussat: Very good for the price

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The rooms were very comfortable and the stuff was very helpfull

Miinukset: The location is a bit far from the center, but it is a pleasent 10 min walk

Plussat: An excellent b&b in Huaraz. Clean and spacious rooms. Good breakfast and very helpful personal. And a chill terras.

Plussat: Staff were very attentious and kind. We arrived with big delay due to transit problems and they found a day tour on the last minute. Also, they prepared our breakfast on the night before so we could eat before leaving for trekking in the early morning.

Plussat: We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The hotel also helped us arrange our activities in the Cordillera Blanca. The staff made us feel like part of the family. At different times there was a different family member in charge which lead to some confusion. But, they were all very nice and always worked things out. They watched our bags and let use stay in the common rooms after our checkout. The family room for four was spacious and comfortable. The location is an easy walk to the main square. We enjoyed walking through the neighborhood. But, some might find it a bit far.

Plussat: Very good location, just 5 minutes away from the plaza. Nice double room. Very kind owners.

Miinukset: Breakfast could have been a little bit more extensive, second day for example there were no eggs because they were replaced by a fruit salad. For big eaters this is not enough. Cold room due to lack of heating.

Plussat: They were able to fill my bed with rose petals and left red wine for when we arrived, really top service thank you!

Plussat: Awesome roof terrace, very nice owner

Miinukset: The rooms werw little noisy. You can hear the TV of the other rooms.

Plussat: - Perfect location, close to bus station and main street, yet far enough to make it a quiet place to stay. - The host was super nice to us even we don’t know spanish. He let us wait at the property for the night bus. - Great view on the top floor. - Nice shower with hot water.

Miinukset: False check-out time! We were told the check-out time is 12:00. But the maid just open our door with her key WITHOUT KNOCKING at 09:30. And she open our door AGAIN and told us the check-out time is 11:00. Then she even wait outside our door and play music loudly to annoy us. This is RIDICULOUS.

Plussat: The hotel is located 5min away from the Plaza de Armas. You don’t really hear the noise of the streets. The room was ok for a few nights. The WiFi was really good. The staff was really nice and welcoming. After a day of trekking, there’s indeed the possibility to take a shower before traveling.

Miinukset: Rooms are a bit old-fashioned. The breakfast wasn’t great at all as it’s not a buffet like almost everywhere else. You are granted 1 glass of fresh orange juice and 1 egg. Nothing more... you can still have bread, bananas and tea, but the choice is very limited.

Plussat: Very accommodating staff

Plussat: OMG I left my money belt there with credit cards and cash, then i went on trek, when i got back they had whatsapped me that they had the belt ( i hadn't even noticed yet it was missing). Such honesty staff and such wonderful front desk staff . Thank you Jacal

Miinukset: Breakfast was not very good, they only had 2 servers and too many people to serve BUT the view is amazing from the roof top (inside seating)

Plussat: Just perfect. High class hostel with a great location, very quiet but 3-4 mins walk to city center. The rooms are big enough and very comfortable. The view from the rooftop for breakfast is beautiful. The hosts barely speak english but we comunicated well.

Plussat: We visited Chrismas and very frendly and kind people were warm welcom!

Miinukset: The road were under construction, so it is difficult to get there. Location was okay, but little bit out side from center

Plussat: Super Clean Beautiful view from top floor Fantastic reception

Miinukset: Breakfast not so good - some butter and jam would be great Wifi did not work for the duration of our stay

Plussat: Staff was super friendly ... owners were great. One staff member ever showed me where to find great local craft beer .... which they also serve there:)

Miinukset: Couldnt stay longer and had to go home:(

Plussat: 5 minutes out of Huaraz this was an oasis of calm, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and full of local advice, shower was boiling hot , a frequent novelty in Peru and the food was simple but good quality

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Loved the infrastructure and accomodations. It was a very relaxing and peaceful place.

Miinukset: Maybe it could add more options to the breakfast buffet

Plussat: Lovely hotel in Monterrey, about 20 mins outside Huaraz by taxi. Very comfortable beds and great, strong, shower which is perfect after hiking. Breakfast is great with a good selection. Laundry service is really quick too!

Plussat: Building and garden are amazing. The staff was very kind, smily and always ready to help. Food at the restaurant are really good. I did enjoy my stay at El Patio de Monterrey!

Miinukset: The bathroom is okay but could be better. No much natural light in the room. But in general, the room was good and comfortable.

Plussat: it is the best in huaraz

Miinukset: I like everything

Plussat: Peaceful place. Good service. Nice garden. Clean.

Miinukset: Children's beds could be a little better.

Plussat: Beautiful property. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Diner and breakfast place with a fireplace. Good food. Very calm location approx. 15-20 minutes from Huaraz city centre.

Miinukset: Tv cable was söightly damaged, therefore tv channels wete not always clear.

Plussat: The staff and facilities were both amazing. The garden area felt like our own private retreat and the free breakfast was great. It was expensive, but definitely worth the money.

Plussat: Very nice staff, amazing breakfast, and a beautiful garden and balcony. Green areas made it feel peaceful.

Miinukset: The area sorrounding the hotel didn't feel as safe as I would have wanted.

Plussat: the owners super nice and very commited to the property well being

Plussat: It was well situated. Close to everything but a bit outside of the main streets so it was less noisy. The property was good and the breakfast was great.

Miinukset: The staff is not very friendly; they will answer your questions and help you, but you get the feeling you’re bothering them. The Wifi is the worst we’ve had in Huaraz.

Plussat: The hotel was perfectly clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We were able to store our luggage for free while we were away for 4 days on the Santa Cruz trek and we were also offered a room at a discounted price amongst our return in order to shower and rest. As an extra amenity they have a lounge with a tv and netflix to chill. Overall Amelita is a great place to stay

Plussat: Amelita is such a lovely host and will try to make your stay better than you expected it to be. The views over the mountains from room No 304 are very nice and everything is super clean. Amelita can also help you arrange anything you like (from day trips, laundry to Spanish lessons).

Plussat: Great attention to detail, flexible staff, didn't charge extra for early check in or showers after check out.

Miinukset: There is hot water from 7am to 8pm, but you can ask the staff to leave it on later

Plussat: Stayed 4 nights before and after a trek in the Huayhuash. From the second you walk in you are treated like family. The place is clean and feels safe. Amelita is an amazing host! She set up taxis, got us on the right buses to the trails, had great food recommendations, and was able to get our laundry done on Mothers day when nothing was open. I've never had a bad experience with a hotel in Peru, but this was the best!

Miinukset: nothing negative to say

Plussat: Good.

Miinukset: room service

Plussat: I arrived late after 10pm but the bar and restaurant were still open, which was excellent. The check in process was fantastic, just a copy of the passport was needed.The girls on reception were great and helped me book tours.

Miinukset: everything was ok

Plussat: Hotel was in good location,there was a water cooler in reception area and staff was able to solve my queries inspite of knowing no english

Miinukset: The room was cold and damp,no continuous hot water( not even in mornings),breakfast was terrible

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: There is no heat or ventilation and it became stuffy... I was there in March ñ.

Plussat: The owners were very kind, nice and helpful. They agreed with earlier check-in and very late check-out.

Miinukset: The floor wasn’t completely clean when we came.

Plussat: Breakfast on roof with view of mountains. Hot water and tea bags available any time. Comfortable sitting areas.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: The hotel is just 10 minutes walking from the city center. The rooms are big, comfortable and the shower is very nice. They alsonoffer 3 different types of breakfast. The staff is very helpful and kind. They allowed me tonhave early checkin and late check out with no charges.

Miinukset: The rooms nearbthe street can be very noisy.

Plussat: It was a very nice stay. The owners are very friendly. The day we've done a hiking tour they prepared a lunch box for us for free. And the breakfast is really good and fresh :D

Plussat: Wonderful friendly staff. Great value with great customer service. The TV clarity was fuzzy, but you don't go to Huaraz to watch tv anyway.

Plussat: Excellent views from the roof top.

Miinukset: A little noisy at times due to a visit by a reserve football team.

Plussat: The location and the fresh juice for breakfast ! It’s good value for money

Miinukset: The pillows were hard and since it has a little internal yard there can be a bit of noise (as people leave early for the daily excursions)

Plussat: Very kind and welcoming woman who runs the hotel and other staff all gave a smile too Nice place to acclimatise and then recuperate the day after a trek!

Miinukset: Breakfast a little basic, could maybe add in a few complimentary extras such as a small omelette

Plussat: Friendly staff.

Miinukset: No window in the room (only to inside lobby). Uncomfortable bedding (hard pillows, duvets). A bit creepy decor in the common areas. Entrance bell is loud, waking us up in the room.

Plussat: Super strong WiFi, super hot water , the owner old lady is really friendly. The hostal close to the traditional market , you can go buy food easily .

Miinukset: Well....the only one thing to complain about is the breakfast...just two cold bread and drinks , if the breakfast could a little be more (ex: with fried egg) that would be much better . Cause I spent the hostal 4 days . But only the first day I eat breakfast at the hostal , the rest of day I went to outside to find the breakfast .

Plussat: We could check in at 7 AM right after our nightbus. The shower was great - very hot and good water pressure.

Miinukset: We asked a staffmember if we could use the kitchen (he said yes which was great). However when we wanted to heat up the next day, another staffmember had thrown away all our food. When we asked about it, all she said was that we should have asked her as she was the owner - while that encounter was the first time we actually saw her. Moreover we were the only guests out of 25 rooms. Half of the time there seemed to be no "real" staff, just people who could open the door for us. Breakfast supplies weren't readily available and needed to be bought every time. We didn't book any tours with them as there was no one to give us information.

Plussat: There is always hot water, also in the 4th floor. The position is perfect, 2 minutes walking from the main square

Plussat: Good location and nice staff

Plussat: The location is perfectly central, staff is very helpful and nice, wifi has a good speed and is available all over the place. There are enough blankets to keep you warm, room is spacious, bathroom clean. Stayed there twice because I liked it so much

Miinukset: Todo bien
