Hostels in Huanchaco

Felt like a true home away from home during my travels there. Great clean facilities and spacious rooms, lots of space for socialising and relaxing, and truly wonderful staff and volunteers. The nicest hostel I've stayed in during my time in Peru.

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.
