Shancayan Hotels, Independencia

"Overall great. "

"This large hotel is impeccably clean. There's beautiful tile work and nicely furnished seating areas scattered around. The view of the mountains from the breakfast room is superb. It's on a quiet street but doesn't take too long to walk to restaurants. Be sure to text the property with your arrival time. The door is locked and it's not obvious how to get in. Drinking water is not provided but you can buy it there or at one of the little bodegas that are nearby. They stored our luggage and valuables while we were on our trek."

"Best of best if you are looking for cozy place in Huaraz "

"Excellent and super kind staff with genuine desires to help! A group of us stayed here for many days and all had a great time. A restaurant in the hotel opens at 7 AM and closes at 10 PM serves very nice foods. Areas within 1.5 miles radius are full of excitements with all kinds of street vendors, all within walking distances. This hotel is very close to the city center, where courts, local police, national police and first responders are located. So, naturally, it is safe area to be. High mountain peaks are all viewable and hiking trails can lead to the local hill top that is approximately 11,000 feet above sea level, roughly 2 miles of walking. Once you’re on the top, you can see the whole Huaraz city."

"The property was very clean and well-maintained. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The area where the hotel is located is not in the center of town, but is a short walk to many shops and restaurants. The staff to fulfill our requests. They helped us find a tour operator, which was fabulous! The only downside was that there was no heat in the rooms or the bathroom. It gets chilly at night at that elevation. It would have been nice to have some heat in the bathroom so you don't get too cold getting out of the shower. "

"Great affordable hotel located near main attractions in Huaraz downtown. Breakfast and service were outstanding."

"The place is big and comfortable, the shower is perfect - hot with good pressure. Breakfast is good - eggs, bread and jam, coca tea, coffee and juice. The staff are great and knowledgeable about tours and can arrange them for you . The only negative is that there are many neighbourhood dogs which are so noisy barking all night that I couldn't sleep well. Bring earplugs. The hotel is highly recommended."
