SCAM ALERT! I had stayed a couple days before my trek and returned after, they claimed I never paid for my previous nights when I returned but I knew that I had. They then proceeded to call the owner and the owner and another man yelled at me and got in my face harassing me to say I didn’t pay. Eventually my friend told them to check the cameras and after some push back they did, and guess what, I had paid…. All they said was disculpa after intimidating me for 40 minutes.

This hostel was fine, however, the photos are old, none of the common area activities shown were working. It could get cold at night and the gas in the hobs was so high I nearly burnt my hand initially. However, the staff were nice and in a good location, there is a lovely tour lady right downstairs so it’s easy to organise trips

We had a good stay here. However we wish that the hostel would provide soap in the bathrooms and that they would replace the kitchen cloths/sponges more frequently! Good hot showers. Okay included breakfast- we made it more filling and interesting by adding fruit and other bits to what they provided.

Friendly staff and good location but did not feel clean, not very sociable, nowhere nice or comfortable to sleep. The whole hostel stank of weed the whole time and the kitchen was dirty.

Location idéale neanmoins un effort serait à faire sur la propreté et le contact client . Pour 2j c'est ok .

Probably one of the best options in Huaraz. Very social so it's easy to make connections for hikes and such. Everything else is pretty basic and not always very clean but not unbearably so

The hostel had good, basic facilities and people working there were very friendly. What I missed in the hostel was some social activities at the hostel.

A clean and tidy private room. Solid hot water showers and internet. Not a very social atmosphere and we found the breakfast pretty limited for options and having enough food for all guests.

Hostel is fine for what you pay. Good location out of all the other hostels, but also noisy at nights. Breakfast is bread rolls. Shower pressure could be improved.

everything was great from staff location to basic breakfast, the kitchen needs some maintenance with its utensils and also the doors are cracking some of them don't close but it's safe there anyway

Nice hostel. Breakfast isn't great but I guess the hostel is cheap so it's to be expected.
