Hostels in Huanchaco

stop looking at other hostels in huanchaco and just stay here, trust me! if you love hostels that feel like one big family, this is the perfect place. the hostel mom and dad are Dario and Gigi, a lovely couple who always take the time to get to know every newcomer, are always down for a chat, and are always ready to help you with anything you need. they radiate a genuine sense of hospitality thats rare and hard to comeby elsewhere. the hostel is small of around 15-20 spots which makes for a cute and homely atmosphere. i have many fond memories of going out with everyone to surf together, drinking a beer at sunset, chatting and hanging out on the terasses, cooking, playing games, and going out for dinner together. the fascilities are great. theres a well-equipped and spotless kitchen, the beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are nice and spacious. the entire hostel is cleaned thoroughly everyday. the living room is perfect for relaxing together, with 5 adorable cats that are always down to cuddle. theres a nice spatious downstairs area with tables and chairs, and another large balcony terrass to chill in. plus a yoga room to top it off! the location is perfect. one reason is for surfing: because the current carries you northwards, its convenient to paddle out closer to the south side, where the hostel is located. another reason is that its close to many restaurants, only a 5 minute walk from the coolest beach club in town called Frogs, and directly opposite 2 convenience stores. The most awesome surfschool ever (Muchik), is only 7 minutes away and is directly opposite the best place to surf as a beginner. I highly recommend going to muchik if you want to learn how to surf. The surfinstructors there are so much fun and very attentive. They became very close friends of mine throughout my stay. leaving this place was a hard thing to do and i stayed for over 6 weeks.

The level of maintenance and cleanliness with a good vibe.

nice vibe, kool outdoor seating, kind staff and cat, so close to the beach, stayed more than was planned

This hostel has a perfect location very close to the beach and the food in the restaurant which is part of it is amazing and very well-priced too (especially the big breakfast included in the price!). Randy and Carlos are great people and will help you with anything you need and they make you feel at home, they really want you to feel good in the hostel. One day I got sick and they took such good care of me. I would definitely stay here again!

Possibly my favorite stay so far in 4 months of traveling. Everyone was extremely friendly. The place is as clean as can be. Bed is super comfortable. Nice neighborhood location, with a very nice cafe and restaurant downstairs. Plenty of other restaurant options nearby also. I enjoyed Trujillo very much and plan to return. I wont even look for another option unless they don't have a room available for me.

This property is really nice, the staff were all friendly and helpful. Everything is clean, the rooms are spacious, at least the one we had. It included a bathroom, bedroom, a living room area, refrigerator, microwave. Our room here was bigger than some of the Airbnb properties we have been to. We thought it was nice that they bring your breakfast to you, since the rooms have a table area where you can eat. The shared kitchen has everything we needed. Hot water always available. The area that the hotel is in feels safe and is pretty close to everything, maybe 5 minutes' walk from the central plaza, very close to multiple grocery stores, lots of restaurants, etc. The place is located in a quiet street. The airport transfer service is reliable. Definitely one of the nicest places we've stayed in, if not the nicest.

It was a short one-night stay, but I would definitely come back. Everything was easy and smooth.
