Huaraz Colonial

Warm rooms with good location. Friendly and helpful family running the property. Kitchen available for use.

Incredibly cheap even by Peruvian standards. Pretty courtyard with space to relax, and the room was comfortable and spacious. I was allowed to drop off my luggage very early.

I chose this accommodation based on the reviews that mentioned it being very quiet. They clearly refer to the dorm rooms, which face the internal courtyard - the private rooms all face the street and are on the ground floor, so from 5.30-6am onwards you will hear a lot of noise from the traders arriving for the nearby market. Owner was helpful when asked, but generally indifferent and seemed always distracted.

Friendly staff, good breakfast and a comfortable mattress.

There was no hot water unfortunately, although I was told that usually the water is hot.

i can’t really answer because I couldn’t find the place! The address, via Google maps, did not take me to the location of the hostel. So, something was clearly wrong as this has never happened to me before. Sorry!

It would have been better had I been able to locate the property and stay there, as was my intention. Now I face a bill for not turning up. . . but that was not for lack of trying on my part!
