Great hostel with tours and free breakfast, but only cold water at night and at some point no water at all.

Comfortabele bedden en badkamers worden frequent schoongemaakt. Alleen was er altijd wel een probleem met de douches: of het water was koud of er was gewoonweg geen water, een beetje vervelend als je van een trektocht komt. Handig dat de hostel tours aanbiedt, alleen verschillen de prijzen van dag tot dag en van persoon tot persoon. Jackie was enorm lief, bij andere staff leden had ik soms een rare vibe.

Staff are all very kind and will go above and beyond for you. Great tours. Comfy beds. Everything is clean. They’ll cook you eggs for breakfast. Rooftop terrace has killer views of the mountains! Overall had a great stay. Only drawbacks were some issues with water flow on top floor bathroom, and the hostel is about 10-15min walk from the city centre!

Weird vibe from this hostel. The voulunteer here is a bit abrasive with people (seen this in other reviews and not sure why he's still there) tried to book Laguna 69 hike but he bumped up the price from 60 to 70 overnight without any explanation (other people in the group only paid 50). Not enough bathrooms or showers, always a struggle to find one free. Just doesn't seem like a very honest and friendly place.

Beds are comfortable and the staff are super friendly. When I was there I couldn’t pay by card even though Hostelworld says you can. The showers are not very good, the higher the room the less water you have. As I was on the top floor, I always had to go to the second floor because there was no water.

Lovely hostel in Huaraz. The kitchen is great and very easy to socialize! Beds are comfy and lockers are big. Only downside is that there’s definitely not enough showers for how many people sleep on each floor! Also no hot water on most days… Breakfast was nice but also that room is very crowded because it’s quite small compared to how many people are staying at the hostel.

Fijn hostel met goed ontbijt en vriendelijk personeel dat je goed adviseert over de verschillende hikes in de omgeving en kan helpen met het boeken. Het enige nadeel is dat er maar weinig douches zijn en dat er vaak geen warm water of überhaupt geen water meer is later op de dag.

The building doesn’t have enough toilettes. In addition to that there was no running water on 2 floors for more than a day. The cleaning staff is very nice and friendly but the host is a bit weird and made me and others feel uncomfortable with his reigning manner to manage the hostel. He said he worked so much in hospitality and is proud of it but pretending like he is the big boss. Not very pleasant. The common area is pretty cramped downstairs.

Mit das beste Hostel in Peru bisher. Super freundliche und korrekte Mitarbeiter, extrem gemütliche und private Betten, alles jeden Tag geputzt. WLAN schnell und schöne Dach Terrasse. Helfen mit allen Touren usw. Und das alles für super Preis Leistung!
