Estadia excelente, com anfitriã atenciosa, casa confortável e ótima localização.
Pros:

Zarela foi extremamente solícita e simpática durante toda a estadia. A casa é exatamente como no anúncio, limpa, confortável e bem cuidada. Um grande diferencial foi o cuidado com o café da manhã, que ela deixava preparado independentemente do horário em que sairíamos para os passeios.

Além disso, sempre nos deu ótimas dicas sobre a região, o que fez toda a diferença na experiência. Eles também oferecem serviço de lavanderia, o que é muito prático.

A localização é muito boa, com restaurantes próximos e a Plaza de Armas a cerca de 10 minutos a pé, onde há ainda mais opções. Para quem preferir, o Uber funciona muito bem na região.

Recomendo muito a estadia!

Pros:

La persona encargada de la recepción siempre fue muy amable y nos ayudó con todo lo que necesitaramos, como por ejemplo, dejar el equipaje mientras estábamos en el nevado.
El desayuno también cumplió nuestras expectativas, porque pensamos que a pesar del horario de nuestra salida (3am), no iba a haber, nos dejaron un buen desayuno para llevar.

Ideal home in Huaraz
Pros:

It was very welcoming to stay with Zarela. She is a wonderful hostess. She helped me with drivers and trek recommendations to make the most of my stay in Huaraz. We had some great conversations. It's a quiet location but close to everything in town, and the Thai restaurant is spectacular. Also a nice hot shower and lots of great common spaces.

Cons:

Everything was overall great. My only feedback is that the bed could be a little more comfortable, with some other blanket options. I was too hot under the big comforter but too cold without it.

A friendly, centric, and cozy hostel for hikers in Huaraz
Pros:

Loved my stay at Casa de Zarela. Both Zarela the owner and staff were very friendly, and Zarela was very generous in sharing information and advice about potential hikes and was often around to talk to the guests in the common area. the place had a great atmosphere, while also being quiet at night (not a party hostel). I would definitely come back.

Beautiful clean hotel with welcoming staff and delicious Thai food
Pros:

One of the best properties I have stayed in - Zarela and the rest of the staff were incredibly kind and she had very helpful advice about the various hikes available around Huaraz given our tight schedule. The Thai food is absolutely delicious and we ate dinner there every night after a long day of hiking, breakfast is very tasty too. The hotel is in a quieter area of town and is beautifully designed, with a mountaineering theme to inspire you to explore the mountains around.
Our triple room was clean and tidy, nice bathroom with good water pressure and plenty of hot water! There are several nice communal areas to relax in after your hike, including a couple outdoor terraces

We loved our time at Casa de Zarela, we felt really comfortable and welcome and we will definitely be back!

Had a lovely stay. Zarela was very welcoming and gave great advice!
Pros:

Very comfortable place, with many nice places to lounge and hang out. Zarela was very welcoming and gave great advice for my upcoming trek in Huayhuash. Meals were delicious and healthy and washing service was convenient. Just a lovely place and will stay again for sure if back in Huaraz.

Beautiful place to stay with the wonderful, helpful Zarela
Pros:

This place is amazing. Zarela is so friendly and helpful. She speaks great English and can help you book anything you need, including logistics for climbing and trekking in the area. All the staff are lovely. The vibe is easy-going and well organized. The rooms are very comfortable and there are plants everywhere. Nice, easy walk into town. The restaurant is fantastic and delicious, and one of the few places in Peru that never got us sick!

Cons:

Nothing. 10/10

Superb
Pros:

Zarela was super helpful during our stay. We were able to organize laundry through her, we ate at the restaurant twice, and the beds were super comfy. Water was hot, had good outdoor space, and was a great way to relax for a day after our trek.

Cons:

Accommodations weren't super luxe but for $40 USD/day it was great.

I will stay there every time I’m in Hauarz.
Pros:

Zarela is awesome. I’ve stayed with her multiple times now and it’s a great place in a quieter section of Huaraz, but still close to main square. Great Thai food too in the restaurant at night, and good breakfast options. It’s a popular place.

Cons:

There are a lot of hard surfaces and sound echoes a lot. People talking, chairs scraping, etc. Neighborhood is quieter but the hotel itself can be a bit loud. But this is the norm for Huaraz. I still think it’s one of the best options in town.
