La Casa de Zarela - Hotel - Restaurante Thai

Second time I stayed here and would always stay here every visit to Huaraz. Zarela is amazing, communicative and really kind. I always felt safe and comfortable staying there. The rooms are super clean, the food is good and she set out food for us on the days where we had to wake up early for a hike. The eating area was a fun place to chat with others who are also staying there. We booked a late night bus back to Lima so on the day we checked out, we were able to store our bags there so we could go out for the day and come back to pick it up. Zarela is really amazing and I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

A really nice, cozy small hotel with an amicable, flexible hostess. Quiet and very friendly interiors and public areas, breakfast included. Lots of climber related stuff. A very comfortable and family feeling. Some walk to the center business area but generally not a big deal. Definitely will recommend to everyone, and come back to it myself.

La Casa de Zarela was the perfect place to stay in Huaraz. Zarela, the owner, is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about Huaraz and its surroundings, and always ready to provide helpful tips. The breakfast and Thai food she serves are both great. A nice extra: they provide a laundry service using cold wash and air drying, perfect for sensitive woolen outdoor gear. We stayed here to acclimatize to the altitude and could conveniently leave our luggage while we did the Santa Cruz trail, and come back for one last night. I highly recommend staying here during your trip to Huaraz.

Zarrela was the nicest person we have met in Peru. She is happy to share information on Huaraz and all the different treks around. We stayed for a total of 7 nights and would 100% reccomend. She is also fluent in English which is really rare in Huaraz. We also really enjoyed the food in the restaurant

We had a lovely stay at Zarela' casa, everything is nice and the Thai food was absolutely delicious! Pretty much like the meals I had in Thailand but we were in Peru! She arranged us tours and very flexible with our demands!

We only are here to eat - we stayed at a different hostel. The food is really fantastic and Zarela is lovely, as others have said. She is very friendly and has a great sense of humour. She also helped us with tips for our next hike. It's a shame we're leaving Huaraz today, otherwise we would probably have come back! Highly recommended.

Truly so delicious. Our favorite Thai we’ve had in Peru. We went twice and tried the green, yellow, and red curry. Each was packed with flavor, veggies, and had the option to be vegan. Highly recommend the ginger tea as well. The owner is very kind and helped us navigate some local travel logistics as well. Must try in Huaraz.

Zarela's is the best hostel in Huaraz by far. Best quality of service, excellent breakfast, clean rooms, great information about local hiking/climbing access. Definitely will go back
