Great value for money. Really enjoyed the tours they booked for us. Hostel could be loud at times very early & late at night due to rude groups.

Very nice staff, Daniel the guy in the reception speaks English and will help you with everything you need, you can book treks and ectivties through him. Really nice garden when you walk in, good breakfast and wifi throughout the hostel.

THE HOSTEL IS ONLY A FIVE MINUTE WALK TO THE MAIN PLAZZA, IT IS VERY CLEAN AND BEAUTIFUL AND HAS A TV, BAR, HOT WATER AND A VERY GOOD BREAKFAST. EVERYONE IS VERY NICE AND HELPFUL AND ALWAYS READY TO ASSIST WITH ANY REQUEST. THERE IS A TRAVEL AGENCY THERE WITH AN ENGLISH SPEAKING REPRESENTATIVE TO GIVE ALL THE REQUIRED INFORMATION. THIS HOSTEL IS GREATLY RECOMMENDED !!

Good: staff were nice and tried to be helpful. Many tours are available through the hostel. Bad: Location was a 10 minute walk from center. Breakfast was very slow. Staff often gave incomplete or incorrect information. Horse-riding tour was poor (our guide was a 10 year old girl and horses were slow). Ice-climbing guide offered no instruction nor help. Chavin de Huantar tour was average.

This hostel is not one of my best experience. Beds are not that confortable. For the same price you can find better options in town

Location is close enough to town. Daniel who occasionally works nights at the hostel is very helpful- helped me out a lot while trying to sort out a possible rabies bite- if daniel is not there it can be difficult communicating unless you are fluent in spanish. Mattresses could do with upgrading in some of the rooms. Only one bathroom per floor for 5 rooms. Wait outside the hostel for tours booked outside the hostel so you dont miss pickup. Decent place to stay for price- lots of tvs & sofas

We found Alpes Huaraz a lovely place to stay. The Senora was so welcoming and helpful. We stayed in a double room and it was clean, close to the centre of town and very good value for money. I would definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you for a lovely stay!

This is a nice place in Huaraz. The older couple who run the place are super-friendly and very helpful in arranging tours. The hotel has a great rooftop deck from which you can see Huascaran. It's about a 4 or 5 block walk uphill from the main square in a quiet and safe neighborhood.

Nice friendly place in reasonable location. A lot of people arrive from the buses at around 7-0AM and my biggest complaint is that the staff then open all the dorm room doors to see if they can find a bed whilst people are still sleeping. This really isn't on - they should make people wait until check-out time. I also don't think the descriptions of the rooms is accurate. I booked an en-suite deluxe dorm. OK, it only had three beds which is a bonus, but it wasn't en-suite.

Alpes Huaraz is a really nice hostel. Is very cozy and the people who works there is amazing. Mrs Rosa treaths you like one of her own family, really nice. The rooms are clean and you have hot water, free wifi and if you want to stay more hours after your checkout there is no problem, you go to the living room and watch some movies. It´s an hostel than have a great enviaroment. They help you with any dude that you have on the tours or places to go and is close to everything but still quiet.

Attention at the hostel es very very poor. Especially the attention given by the owner of the hostel. He is very kind when he can sell you tours, but is grumpy and annoying the rest of the time (or when you contract tours directly with an agency). Tours sold at the hostel aren't cheap at all, you can contract the same tours a lot cheaper (even 25& off) with the agencies.

We had a blast at Alpes Huaraz. The staff was very nice and helpful. It was a great deal for a three person room. Just don´t go there during Carnivale, because it is located next door to the biggest party in the city (or so it sounded). Everyting about the hostel was great though!

It's our second time staying in this hostel. That means a lot for us. We came back for the special hospitility from Rosa and Juan. It may not be a 5 star hostel but for the price that you pay, every penny spent is worth it. This includes the family atmosphere which is priceless. The detailed information about the local mountains was amazing. We got set with well knowledged guides for our ice- climbing adventures. We have built a strong relationship with the staff of Alpes Huaraz. Thank You.

This is a very nice hostel, clean, nice establishment, friendly staff. Although it has a large capacity, each room has its private bathroom and it feels much safer and cleaner than most hostels I have stayed at.

I am currently staying in the hostel with a group of friends and instructors from the army. The hostel clearly attracts a healthy number of travellers and mountaineers from all parts of the world and it has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are nice the beds are comfortable, the view over the city and surrounding mountains is wonderful and it is only a 3 minute walk into the city centre. thanks to Alpes huaraz hostel

When I asked around in Lima where to stay in the Huaraz area, more than a few people recommended H0stal Alpes Huaraz. I took their advice and was extremely glad that I did. The proprietors and staff were extremely friendly and helpful regarding the surrounding areas and what to do (mountain biking, camping, hiking), and I could tell that they genuinely cared about my comfort. I especially enjoyed the living room/hangout/fireplace area I truly felt like at home .
