Lovely local hotel with view of Huaraz. Goose feather comforters made it hard to get out of bed but the hot shower was amazing! The service is what made all the difference, such attentive and caring staff.

A real gem

We loved our stay with Santa Cruz. It was like staying with good friends. Willie, Flo, Judy, David and others were very friendly, helpful, and professional. From organizing a tour, to answering quick texts about appropriate Taxi fares, arranging laundry, and accommodating our vegetarian diet, everything was perfect. Tasty breakfasts cooked just right, super clean rooms, and just wonderful staff!

Has a nice view of the Huascaran provided you get the rooms facing the courtyard. Location not an issue for travellers with their own car. Breakfast ok. Amenities, fittings need an urgent revamp. Even something as basic as the room door lock needs maintenance.

My buddy and I were in Huaraz to climb and used the hotel to base out of . We were in and out 3 times over about 12 days and the staff were always happy to see us and greeted us with smiles. The rooms are fine and the beds are ok. Bathrooms are fine and there was plenty of hot water to wash off the trail dust. It up the hill from the main part of town so a bit more quite and the views of the high Cordillera are great!

Happy in Huaraz

Our four day stay at Hotel Santa Cruz was most pleasant and enjoyable. Arriving very early by bus from Lima we were given an early check-in and invited to have tea to assist with the symptoms of the higher altitude of Huaraz. The room was very clean, hot water was available, the bed slightly firm but acceptable, with a large comforter to keep warm with the cooler nights. The hotel was safe and secure with views of the beautiful snow-capped mountains surrounding the city. One could easily walk downhill to the center of town...and back as well if desired. (Regardless a taxi ride back was only 4-5 Soles.) The free WiFi was very good, the included quality full breakfast varied from day to day, accompanied by great coffee (or your choice of teas). The restaurant also offered other menu choices throughout the day. But best of all were the staff....always friendly and pleasant, accommodating ALL our requests for service and information. Our stay at Hotel Santa Cruz was excellent.
