Nasca hotellia

Plussat: The location is great and the building itself is very interesting. It has balconies on each floor and a massive terrace where the dorm is. Very nice to sit in the evening and watch a bit of sunset. It's cheap, it's clean, beds are comfortable, hosts are very nice. And on the top of all, they sell nazca lines aerial tour for 70 USD which is a genuine, good tour for a lower price than you get on the high street.

Miinukset: Unfortunately, it's quite close to the main square so it can be load in the evening and at night. Also, the shower seemed to have only cold water which is not a biggy since it was 28 degrees outside.

Plussat: - the price - the cleanliness - terrace/patio in front of dorm - hot shower

Miinukset: - the owner was super nice and helpful, his employee was certainly not - no outlets, private lights or shelf at dorm beds - very low pressure shower

Plussat: Great location. Fantastic price.

Miinukset: A random guy was sleeping in one of the beds and the next morning he made the bed, left, and a girl checked in and was given the same bed which she promptly went to sleep in. Ew. Also the WiFi did not work well upstairs. And the electricity was not working either- at all. So the room fan was not on and it was super hot and I could not charge anything. There was also no lock on the door or a way you could lock up your stuff.

Plussat: Beautiful place -near by the plaza (one block), safe, clean, delicious breakfast, amazing terrace and the staff are the most polite I’ve ever met during my 3years traveling trip

Plussat: Good location. Good room and nice owner's.

Miinukset: Never showed up for prearranged bus station pickup..If you don't have much luggage it's only a 15 minute walk from the bus station.

Plussat: Central location near the main square. Comfortable bed. Hot shower.

Miinukset: The young boy in reception is clueless. Had to wait until 3 pm before I could check in. The manager was a lot more helpful. They can organize Nazca flights for $70 USD. The Wi-Fi didn’t work while I was there. Not enough electric sockets in the dorm room to charge your phone. Breakfast not included.

Plussat: Nice hostel in good location near the central plaza. Private room with own bathroom were comfy and good. There is a nice roof terrace on the 4th floor near the dorm. Owner is helpful and we could stay in the hostel while waiting for our nightbus.

Miinukset: There is no kitchen.

Plussat: We had a very good contact before our arrival, they answered for all additional questions very quickly, and also offered help with Nazca Lines Flight organisation (very competitive price!). Hotel was very comfortable. we had huge bed in our room, room was very spacious, nice furnished, we had enormous bathroom. We are in love with this place, garden was beautiful and we enjoyed pool and quite area. Breakfast was also better than in other hotels, we had a selection of cereals, cheese and ham, fruits, sweets. Parking was available, also we saw external gym and ping pong table. We had fridge in our room. Hotel Service speaks english, what is not common in Peru :)

Miinukset: Is not in the city center, maybe disadvantage is you have no car or don't want to spend money for taxi. Hotel room was not cheap.

Plussat: The location is ideal because it is faced towards the outside of Nasca and is really quiet! The pool and lounge area is lovely and the rooms were super clean and not typical peruvian style. Geared towards tourists and cleanliness. Great location for families. Awesome breakfast!

Plussat: Place was clean. People friendly. Quiet. A good place to overnight away from the busy road.

Miinukset: Nothing I could think

Plussat: Spacious and attractive room with comfy king size bed. The garden and pool were pretty and we had a couple of hours to use the sun beds and pool.

Miinukset: It was very quiet and we ate alone in the evening and again at breakfast. Food just ok.

Plussat: Located little bit outside city.Very nice envirement,very nice and spacious room,good beds,delicious breakfast and dinner.

Miinukset: Everything was super fine

Plussat: The place is gorgeous, the garden is really peaceful and beautiful. Ivan was really nice helping us arrange safe transportation to the hotel and waited for us ar the bus station with the driver. He also helped us organize a nice tour of different archeological sites in Nasca after the flight. Absolutely recommend.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: A wonderful property and staff. We loved it all !!

Miinukset: Everything was great!

Plussat: Lovely little Hacienda, away from the hustle and bustle of the main city but just a 5 minute drive away from both the airport for the Lines. Toto at the reception was so very enthusiastic about making us feel welcome and very sweet.

Miinukset: There’s barely any hot water and the water pressure is basically a trickle

Plussat: All was perfect. Angela is such a nice host. Once you book she offers nice and cheap tours. She is helping with everything. It was such a nice stay.

Miinukset: Nothing to complain at all.

Plussat: - big room - good shower - nice able to have breakfast after Nazca lines

Plussat: Great location, quiet and clean rooms, very nice owners.

Plussat: Easy check-in, lovely owner, helped with how to see Nazca lines without a tour, good location, comfortable bed, great hot shower, has a lounge area to relax. Close to the Cruz del Sur bus stop (a few blocks away), close to all the shops and restaurants. Would stay again, thank you!

Plussat: The owners are very helpful and accommodating. Great location 2 blocks from the main street. Great breakfast.

Plussat: Breakfast If you have to long wait after your check out, there is a room with everything you need to spend time.

Miinukset: A bit hot

Plussat: The owner, Angela, made us feel very welcome! Small guesthouse, good breakfast and rooms.

Miinukset: The check-in was terrible. I had alerted the staff early I would arrive at night, and they confirmed there would be no problem. However I had to wait outside for almost half an hour, in the middle of the street, while keeping ringing the doorbell and knocking at the door, before they finally opened the door.

Plussat: I guess that this small hotel is up to the small inn’s standard.

Miinukset: Only 2 towels and 2 pieces of very small soaps in bathroom. They declined my request for a small hand towel for the two of us. When we washing our hands, the water going down of the basin was very very slow.

Plussat: Hot shower. Reasonably quiet. Close to everything. The local square and the bus are only a couple blocks away

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: I really liked this place. Great location, friendly owner, solid rooms with hot water and strong fans (a must in Nazca), and, for the second time this trip, the owner quoted me a LOWER price than I was expecting to pay….the benefits of traveling in mega-low season. I feel bad for the guy because I got scammed by a local tourist agency, and I complained to him about it, and he was furious. He called the company (see my review about AeroMajoro=ladrones) elsewhere….and they blamed him! So, in the end, I think he felt like he was to blame because he recommended a shitty company to me, but I don’t begrudge him. Plus, he let me keep my bag in a room, go out for a second tour, AND use his shower and bathroom throughout the afternoon, even 10 hours after I had checked out. Nearly all tourists leave at night from Nazca, and if you are one of these people, I highly recommend staying at Yemaya and doing the afternoon tour he recommends. It visits some desert scenery that rivals that of Huacachina and includes mummies buried in the sand, dune buggy adventure, ruins, and sandboarding. Plus, I got back in plenty of time to go file my police report on the airline that tried unsuccessfully to swindle me (not that I’m bitter about that or anything…..).

Miinukset: Please bear in mind that I likely got the best room in the place (since I'm traveling in the low season), and I got it for a rock bottom price. Those traveling in June-August may may double for an inferior room!

Plussat: Good location, nice breakfast

Miinukset: The food was really poor and the service in the restaurant worse. They need to improve the service and quality food that we are accustomed to get in Peru. The juices at breakfast were watery. At lunch the food take more than 45 minutes only two plates.

Plussat: It was clean and comfortable. A basic property. The location was very convenient.

Miinukset: It wasn’t a “top of the line” Casa Andina”.

Plussat: We had not stayed in a Casa Andina Standard before, only Casa Andina. we were surprised at the downgrade in the facilities and the room. However, the staff and the location were excellent. We might have chosen another property if we had know that STANDARD WAS SUCH A DOWNGRADE from the regular Casa Andina.

Miinukset: We would have appreciated a flag as to what Casa Andina STANDARD meant. The rooms were OK but with no hint of anything beyond utilitarian. Not having an elevator was inconvenient for carrying our luggage down the stairs for checkout.

Plussat: friendly staff, breakfast buffet abd restaurant

Miinukset: poor sound insulation from outside the room

Plussat: Pool was great. Rooms comfortable and a/c worked well if a but noisily. Super shower. Late checkout for a price.

Miinukset: Breakfast was fairly poor. Not much choice.

Plussat: Cleanliness, comfort, helpful staff, close to amenities, AC in rooms.

Miinukset: Spotty Internet for free wifi. But staff were helpful in resolving the issues quickly.

Plussat: Simply indescribable: everything surprised us positively. We are speaking of a magnificent hacienda immerse in the nature: animals roam freely in the yards just outside the rooms. The staff at the front desk greeted us warmingly, even though we arrived late at night. Great value for money; it is a pity to spend just a night here, it deserves at least a couple of days to be fully enjoyed. The hotel also arranges trips to Nasca and surroundings, besides the flights over the Nasca lines with its own airplane company.

Miinukset: The only "problem" was the road to access the hotel/hacienda: unfortunately local drivers do not seem to be willing to ride through it, since it is bumpy and poorly lit, plus it is on the opposite side of the city center.

Plussat: That was our third visit to this hotel. We loved it very much: location is good, the territory is perfect- big garden, a lot of flowers, animals and birds (which is amazingly good for children).

Miinukset: This time the staff was not SO friendly as previous times. Sometime it seemed that they are not so happy that we were at the hotel (at that time only 3 rooms was occupied) :) May be the problem was that that was not a season time. And food was terrible :( For example, we ordered sopa criolla and it was like water! We could not eat it and returned. Also cevicha was not good. For that reason I may give this time not more then 7.

Plussat: Very rustic, loved the animals roaming.

Miinukset: No TV's in the rooms

Plussat: Beautiful weather, rooms are awesome and great sleep.

Miinukset: Too short stay to enjoy the facilities. It deserves at least a full weekend!

Plussat: The hotel is very beautiful, it is outside of the city so you don't hear any noises. There are horses, peacocks, and a llama walking around. Lots of trees and entertainment. The food at the restaurant was really good and the breakfast buffet was delicious. I will go back for sure.

Plussat: Excellent stay with Hostel Boulevard. Joshua was very welcoming as were all the staff, with smiles and 24hr personal at the front desk. Joshua was extremely helpful with booking tours and even accompanied us to the nazca airport to see that it all went smoothly. Felt very safe in the hostel and with his taxi men who took us to the cemetary. Room was on the smaller size but didnt feel confined at all. Only problem for me was the noise coming from the city early in the morning, but thats out of their control. If you want to stay in the city, be prepared to hear it. Thanks very much for having us!

Miinukset: City noise

Plussat: We stayed in Nazca so we could take a flight to see the lines. However, there was a lot of spare time after our flight and our onward bus to Arequipa. The host let us store our bags at the property and use the communal area till it was time to leave.

Miinukset: Music from the karaoke bar late at night and multiple cocks crowing from 4.30 am onwards at the property a couple of doors down. Internet in the rooms was intermittent.

Plussat: The property is pretty basic, but with a very central location and a great owner, who is extremely helpful and cheerful!

Miinukset: The property seems quite old, but it’s worth the money

Plussat: Good location just few minutes away from the bus terminal, very friendly host (he met us walking along the street and called out - we almost passed by the door, next he helped us with flight booking), nice terrace on the roof

Miinukset: A little bit noisy - the opposite side of the central location - but it was mostly ok for us

Plussat: Location is great, in the city center close to restaurants and to the peruhop meeting point. Shower is big and comfortable. Even though we checked out in the morning, they allowed us to stay at their lobby/salon to chill and use wifi until our bus came

Miinukset: They charged extra 5% for paying with credit card. This was not written anywhere and should be mentioned prior to our arrival.

Plussat: Clean, comfortable rooms and nice common area. Very central location. The owner is great and met us at bus station even without us organising it. They also let us check out later

Miinukset: It’s so loud at night thanks to a disco across the road and within hotel with a really loud bell sounding whenever people walk in.

Plussat: Quiet rooms based around a courtyard. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Plussat: Nice hotel, comfortable room with a good shower. It's quiet, very central, very convenient to visit Nasca.

Plussat: One of the reason that I booked these hotel room was because of its location and that breakfast was included. The next morning when we went to eat breakfast they only give us drinks bread and butter and it was a sign the stated if you want these items you need to pay extra about $11 more, I was disappointed. I also booked these hotel room because of the price but when I checked my credit card statement I was charge about five dollars more.

Miinukset: The facility was good with comfortable rooms the location was excellent.

Plussat: The location is very good

Miinukset: The wifi signal does not reach the bedrooms and the power plugs are poorly distributed in the bedroom

Plussat: Very central, just a 5 minute walk to Mom’s Cafe - if you’re doing a Peru Hop this is the pick up/ drop off location. Staff were great. I don’t speak Spanish and they have limited English, but they made sure I was well looked after and even rang the tour operator I’d booked with to do my Nazca lines flight because they were concerned that the tour company had forgotten about me. The room was spacious and clean. Plenty of hot water. I had booked my Nazca Lines flight for 8am, so the hotel was going to provide breakfast to me after I returned. I landed up not having breakfast as I was still a bit unsettled after the flight!

Miinukset: Internet wasn’t working, but I think the router needed rebooting. If I spoke Spanish I would have mentioned it. But one night without wifi isn’t going to hurt anyone!

Miinukset: There was a lot of noise at night, the staff attention is not so good. And it is clear at night, because there is a window connection to the hall without curtains.

Miinukset: The room and the bed were pretty small.with no outside windows.

Plussat: We were only at the property for a few hours as our plans changed.

Miinukset: The shower was cold.

Plussat: Great location close to the bus station with a friendly, helpful staff available 24 hours/day. Also, two computers in the lobby with internet available for guest use.

Miinukset: The light bulb was missing from the only bedside lamp, the TV remote batteries were dead and you had to manually change things on the TV, walking barefoot on the room floor made you instantly aware of how dirty the floors were.

Plussat: rooms at this property are very well maintained, clean, modern, beds were comfortable, sheets, pillows, and even the comforters were comfortable. the bathtub Jacuzzi was a plus, awesome feature! love it.

Plussat: Great service and safe garage for parking

Miinukset: There was no toilet seat!! Really?

Miinukset: No warm water, had to shower in cold water. Staff seemed to know about it, but didn't inform us until after we asked. Wi-Fi did not work in our bedroom. Toilet only flushed 50% of the time and the bedroom was shabby at best, with no windows. With a 7.9 average rating, needless to say, we were expecting much much better!

Plussat: Great location and helpful staff.

Miinukset: Weak shower.

Plussat: Breakfast was good, and they brought it to our room. There was a shelf in the bathroom for some of our personal items, like a toothbrush.

Miinukset: Everything was VERY basic. No bedside tables and no shelves, so nowhere to put things except on the floor. The closet had no shelves and no hangers - just an empty rod and a floor. Only one pillow per person on the bed, so not terribly comfortable for reading or relaxing - just for sleeping. There was no hot water in the morning, but it was okay later in the day. The shower curtain was VERY thin, as were the towels. There was nowhere in the shower to put shampoo or other items.

Plussat: The staff were super friendly and went out of their way to help, breakfast was very good, made on the spot, not hours ahead

Miinukset: The bathroom toilet in 3 rooms were not working properly, we had to change rooms twice. The mattress on several were too lumpy and soft. There is no air-condition, and they had to get several fans before we found one that didn't make too much noise.
