Ica hotels

Pros: Beautiful penthouse room. Staying in owners home on the top floor. Great place to stay no matter what but especially in crappy expensive town of Ica. This place is off town center and that’s great because it’s hard to sleep in the noisy city.

Pros: The host is super helpful, whatever you need he provides you with information and arranges for you the excursions (we did Huacachina and wine and pisco tasting at 2 bodegas). The room we got was very spacious, super clean, mattress very comfy and the flat screen tv was the cherry on top! The accommodation is outside the crowded and loud Ica, and easily reachable by collectivo (2PEN/person). We felt like at home!!

Pros: Comfy bed and spacious

Cons: Could have used some cleaning

Pros: Super nice host and the room was amazing - a king size bed and a big balcony that we could use all by ourselves because no one else was there at the moment! We also enjoyed the breakfast a lot - with eggs and avocado and fresh fruit and juice!

Pros: Hands down the best place we have stayed in all of South America! The comfiest bed in the world with huge extra pillows to use while watching the countless film channels in both English and Spanish on the fancy tv. The neighbourhood is far from the tourist zone which means super cheap dinners just around the corner but only 5-6 soles by taxi if you don’t fancy walking to the centre of Ica. The shower is huge and wonderfully warm too. The owners are a lovely family with lots of useful information too and they let us leave our bags after check out before a night bus. If you come to Ica, STAY HERE!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Modern and clean with warm customer service. Highly recomend Ica Adventures to anyone visiting Ica.

Pros: Great, clean and comfortabel room. The owner is really nice and helpfull. It's a good place to relax on the amazing bed and watch Netflix on the tv. Also a good location for visiting the tacama vineyard!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Friendly & welcoming! 8soles max in a taxi from the centre of Ica, great as it wasn’t noisy. We had a lovely room with a comfy bed & plenty of space. Excellent laundry service, so quick which we really appreciated. Booked a great sand boarding trip with them for a low price. Absolutely loved checking out the street food with them in Ica, tried loads of different Peruvian food! Really recommend staying here!

Pros: The rooms were spacious, bedding comfortable, the pool area inviting, the breakfast selection ample, and staff was friendly.

Cons: It took a while to check-in and check-out since there was only one person at the front desk. Also, the way to the room (the signalization) can be somewhat confusing.

Pros: breakfast was really good

Pros: Breakfast was great and service was great too, staff in general was outstanding

Cons: The mattresses are not the most comfortable, plastic disposable glasses instead of glass at the entrance/ reception and their eco towel service failed even when the towels where hung.

Pros: Setting of the hotel is quite unique as it has a massive duna which one can climb and watch the sunset from

Cons: Pillows are hard and not comfortable at all

Pros: Very helpful and cheerful staff. Excellent facility - amazing. Early morning going around the huge gardens with all the birds and animals around.

Cons: Swimming pool closes at 6 pm. Weather and time allow to keep it open till 9 pm - some people will prefer it away from sun, and some people are always busy outside during the day.

Pros: Meals, pool, activities.

Cons: Relaxing

Pros: Nice bar and very comfortable beds.

Cons: No kitchen.

Pros: Free upgrade, air conditioning, clean, safe, well managed and good value.

Pros: I like the welcoming staff and a great bar in the hostel! The food and the drinks were really nice and very affordable.

Pros: The commodities were very good. Clean, very nice staff, economic, the location is central, near Huacachina.

Cons: Nothing to say. Everything was very nice.

Pros: Very clean, convinient rooms, nice breakfast and lovely shared spaces, where you can play pool, watch movies or just relax.

Pros: I was in a 6-bed dorm which was big enough for 10 or more people and had big lockers. The included breakfast was simple but it was also really nice :) The stuff was nice and helpful, even with buying bus tickets. Great price-performance ratio!

Pros: Really good prices for what you get, it includes breakfast! The skybar is also very nice and offers good, affordable food with veggie options. The girl that works at reception was really helpful for us as well, thank you!

Pros: The breakfast was good

Cons: Not enough showers

Pros: Great Hotel, friendly staff, excellent breakfast and food. Nice pools :)

Pros: The staff in the restaurant and bar were excellent and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and helped with our granddaughter. They found time to entertain her, cleaned her cups and warmed her milk. Thank you Ronald and Wilma and the lady in the kitchen!

Cons: The reception staff were quite officious. The roads approaching the hotel were virtually unmade.

Pros: I like the installations, the bedrooms are big and comfortable

Cons: There were mosquitos and some small inoffensive bugs inside the bathroom

Pros: Clean, quiet, excelent breakfast, attentive staff, warm pool

Pros: The hotel is located in a quiet and tidy part of Ica. The restaurant has jummy food and the breakfast is good. We had a great time relaxing here after a week of hiking in Cusco.

Cons: The bathroom had a bit of a funky smell.

Pros: The pool and rooms were nice. The staff was friendly. Coffee at this hotel is good

Cons: The restaurant isn't always open so coffee/food isn't always available. The gym could use a couple more things.

Pros: The facilities and the quality of the food

Cons: Service was a little slow

Pros: Everything was nice and clean The resort is a very nice and peaceful place

Pros: The staff was incredibly nice and professional. The breakfast buffet had great variety of cheeses, cold cuts, fruit smoothies, fresh fruits, cereals, etc. Can't wait to go back and have breakfast by the pool!

Pros: Thé hôtel is nice and the staff is helpful and efficient. The pool is perfect as well. Room was comfortable.

Cons: The price is high for the quality, compared to what we have paid in other places during our trip.

Pros: The property is well tended, the pool area is awesome and the dunes tower above the facility...amazing

Cons: Not one complaint

Pros: Very clean, great location and breakfast was delicious. Front desk was great and helpful with our every need.

Cons: Nothing to complain about.

Pros: El Huacachinero is a nice property. It’s centrally located, has a nice pool, a cool view of the dunes, and it has an oasis feel with the garden and outdoor seating.

Cons: However, I’m giving this property a 1 star because it failed in its primary purpose as a hotel, which is to provide guests with a restful place to sleep. After an exhilarating day with the sand dune buggies and sand boarding, all I really wanted was a good night’s sleep. I didn’t get that at El Huacachinero. First, the walls are paper thin. This means you can hear everything going on outside. There’s a party hotel a few sites over. The music was reverberating in our room and didn’t stop until 2am. They’re not responsible for the music, but this could have been dampened by better walls. Second, in the 2nd floor, there is a clear glass panel above the door. This means that light from hallway light spilled over in our room. This light didn’t go out until 1 am. I forgot my sleep mask, but it wouldn’t have mattered since we could have hosted a party in our own room with the music from the other place. Third, and most frankly, what I found most unrestful. At 7:30am, when I finally got a solid 5 hours of sleep, the hotel staff started cleaning the pool area. They were dragging plastic chaise lounges across the deck. They were loudly dusting off sand from each of the chair cushions. Remember, we’re surrounded by sand dunes. There’s sand everywhere! All the rooms face the pool. This constant dragging and pounding sound echoed in our paper thin walls and forcibly woke me up from deep sleep. I called the reception to please ask them to stop. It’s only 7:40 am! The receptionist said he’ll ask the cleaning people to stop. At 8am, I called again!! They didn’t stop at all. The receptionist said that the cleaning people just need more time. This is 100% within the hotel’s control. I’m writing this review at 8:15am because I can’t go back to sleep after all the dragging, pounding, and metal scratching in the pool area. Even right now, at 8:30am, all the noises are still being made, just different from before.

Pros: Great pool. Helpful staff. Convenient location.

Cons: Noise from in town bars kept me up all night. Average breakfast

Pros: The staff was amazing. And the restaurant was top shelf. Try the Fried Ice Cream...incredible

Cons: A king bed would have been nice

Pros: Nice little pool Great location Decent breakfast Hot water Airconditioning Decent WiFi

Cons: Room was a little dark as the lights weren’t that strong, and there were very few power points.

Pros: The pool was lovely. Great location.

Cons: The room and breakfast were both quite basic given the price.

Pros: It was clean, rooms were big and comfortable. Nice facilities, lovely bathroom and massive bed.

Cons: Location could have been more central

Pros: Staff genuinely appeared to care about quality of guests experience. Great pool.

Cons: Eggs cold as pre-made and not kept in a warm container

Pros: The staff was very friendly

Pros: Really friendly service, coffee for free 24/7, smart tv in the room, good breakfast, great pool, airconditioner!

Pros: It was ok for the money

Cons: Food was mediocre; staff was indifferent.

Pros: Comfy place to stay if Hotel Las Dunas is full. Fair price, clean room w/ a nice bed. big swimming pool.

Cons: Be aware that this is a family hotel (kids running around and making noise at early hours).

Pros: Location and Pool

Cons: I went to rest with familly, but unfortunately there were a group of school trips that make lot of noise. I know it is not fault of the hotel, but we could not rest at all.

Pros: The pool was nice.

Cons: Hotel Huarango charge me a lot more at the time we arrived. Their excuse was the price offered online was a discount price for foreigners. We travel with 5 other family member from Peru. I wasnt prepared for the extra charge. Very disappointed ☹☹

Pros: Location was excellent. The hotel was really nice with quiet rooms and beautiful facilities (pool, bar, green areas).

Cons: There was unusual rain in the area during my stay, so the room flooded. However, the personnel were very helpful and came several times to take out the water and clean the floor.

Pros: Well maintained property with loads of staff.

Cons: Pool should open earlier for sure. By 10:00 am, Ica is already too hot. Plus, would love to take a dip when I wake up.

Pros: Location and price

Cons: Children around the pool from 7am

Pros: The grounds of the hotel are lovely. The room size is good. Policies regarding the taxes are not properly explained on the website. The hotel is about 20 minutes from La Huacachina which is also misleading on the property display

Cons: You cannot tip the waitstaff on your restaurant bill which seems very odd. The staff is not attentive at all with the exception of Leo who waited on us for lunch. He was amazing

Pros: Great service and great breakfast! All of the staff was very friendly. Extremely helpful front desk!

Pros: Great staff! Especially the older gentelman working Monday night, very helpful and attentive, thank u for the ice again!!! Fan in the room was great plus, good internet and great comfy bed. Plus they bring u a hot water if u ask over the phone. Also one of the staff memebers got cutest little dog ever.

Cons: No kitchen

Pros: This location was booked last minute after we were unable to continue our trip on to Paracas due to a problem with the bus schedule. We chose the location because of the price. The staff was incredibly friendly!

Cons: It could have been a little cleaner, and the bathroom did not have the best smell, but for the price and the last minute booking, we were happy.

Pros: We get the room number 202 and it was a very big room with a little table, a shelf and a own bathroom. It was absolutely comfortable for us. The breakfast was included and it was served to our room. It was definitely okay for the price. The staff can't speak English, but they are very friendly and courteous. We stayed there only one night. We could store our luggage and we could walk to the bus terminal. So everything was fine.

Cons: There was no public kitchen, even in the information from booking.com there is one.

Pros: Excellent price, and the bedrooms were clean.

Cons: The neighborhood is not very clean. There is a market nearby.

Pros: Hot water, WiFi working alright, room size very decent, friendly staff, very secure with doors to the hotel closed at all times

Cons: The hotel seems to be past it's prime a little. The size of the room was good, but one could hear everything happening in the hotel. The breakfast is not particularly good, yet they tried to make fresh juice.

Pros: The rooms were very clean. We arrived early and the owner had the rooms ready and it was no issue to check in early. The location was central and easy to find. There were restaurants close in case you did not have transportation to venture around the city.

Cons: It took a long time to get hot water in the morning. Some of us just took a cold shower as we needed to get going. Not sure when the hot water was to kick in. Not a show stopper as the temperature of the city was very warm so it was a refreshing cold shower.

Pros: I liked that hotel stuff did realy take of our safety and allowed to park our car inside of the building, loved interior.

Cons: As we were tired after a long way we did from Lima to Ica, we went to sleep a bit earlier and somewhere about midnight stuff woke us up and asked to park our car to another place. I understand that it was done for our own safety, but still, left me a bit unsatisfied.

Pros: Breakfast was adequate if a little different from what expected - the Peruvian factor. Staff very friendly and helpful. Beds very comfortable. Location close to main road and relatively easy to find.

Cons: Some members of group, (not the men), woken by noise outside on both nights although did not appear to be a particularly noisy area in daylight.

Pros: The quiet location

Cons: I think heating was not available.

Pros: Good location and nice rooms

Cons: you can hear everything happening outside the room

Pros: Clean room and nice bathroom. Hot water with a good water pressure. Staff are friendly but they don't speak English. But it's ok.

Cons: The windows are very thin and you can hear the noise from the street. But during the night it was ok.

Pros: Location

Cons: The hotel doesn't guarantee hot shower, what is unacceptable by the price

Pros: The room was basic but clean.

Cons: The window opened up on to an indoor atrium which was very noisy.

Pros: Centrally located, comfortable, clean

Cons: They should state on booking that hot water is only guaranteed on sunny days, since they work with solar panels. They do not accept any credit card. The most unfriendly staff I ever met in a hotel

Pros: The room was clean. Hot water in the shower and good pressure. Friendly staff and willing to solve your requests. There is also a restaurant.

Cons: Lock of elevator. Location wasn't great.

Pros: good location

Cons: expensive for what you get very noisy no wifi in rooms no hot water in the morning

Pros: nothing

Cons: The hotel is in a VERY DANGEROUS AREA! We have been traited like animals by the staff, the lady from the reception had no respect for us, she didn't want to help us finding a tour. No hot wather and no external window

Pros: Staff!! From the reception, the housekeeper and lady who served the breakfast. They were all really super kind and make our journey better. Breakfast was also good!

Cons: Water

Pros: The staff was friendly and helpful. The room and bed were comfortable... we were in a 4th floor room that was spacious and clean. Elevator available and secured by key access. Neighborhood was not wonderful, but okay. Location off the PanAmerican HIghway was good for us.

Cons: We had no hot water ... and as it turned out, our traveling companions did not have hot water either. The parking garage was a joke... parking space for 6 cars, one behind the other. When we wanted to leave in the morning, we waited for 1/2 hour for other guests to get their cars moved that were parked behind us. If I had been one of those guests getting bothered at 8:00am and told to move my car, I would have been upset. Breakfast was not worth the effort. Typically, we are accustomed to a breakfast buffet... sometimes well stocked, sometimes not so much. But always an assortment of fruit, breads, juices and one or two hot items. Not here. The staff took an order for eggs (which were quite good), provided a glass of either Pineapple or Papaya Juice and a small bowl of mixed fruit. Coffee was available, no herbal tea or hot chocolate. It is unbelievable the cost for our double room was USD $100.... twice what we had paid the night before in Nazca at the Casa Andina Standard.

Pros: Very nice staff, amazing!

Cons: Some rooms might be noisy

Pros: The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. Keep it up!

Cons: Breakfast should have more choices. Keep the coffee warm and the water hot.

Pros: The staff

Cons: Saw a uninvited guest, it was on the restaurant area!

Pros: You can get nice food and drinks for a comfortable budget. They have a nice swimming pool.

Cons: The hot water had very low pressure, it was almost droplets in the shower. The breakfast had some drinks mixed with water and sugar.

Pros: Room was clean, beds were made with clean linen, air conditioning in the room.

Cons: not even a chair in the room. Not many plugs to charge your devices. Air conditioning was really high and hard to reach controls. No water our first night so we could not shower but at least the reception gave us a free dinner the following night. The food was not good for Peruvian standards

Pros: The exteriors are nice. Lots of space in the room and outside. Great location. Has a nice pool.

Cons: The hotel is outdated. Bathroom needs renovation. Mildew on tiles. A/C only in one room not enough to cold down whole apartment.

Pros: I thought the garden was very beautiful and well kept, also, the lights in the trees were a nice touch. The staff on site was very friendly, and i loved the way the pool was separated and properly attended by the staff.

Cons: I had to leave early for a booking in Paracas, and left my bathing suit outside of the room, when i reached paracas and noticed, I tried to call and see if it could be sent with a tour or taxi or car to Paracas so I could pick it up, but the phone system was horrible, and when i finally reached someone, they told it was the wrong number, and gave a number no one answered, and i called like 20 times!

Pros: Big room and the AC,,, swing pool good for that weather,

Cons: Location is perfect

Pros: Treated us like family, during a difficult time. Relaxed, lovely gardens, large separate pool area, good communication, restaurant and terrace, air conditioned clean rooms.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Good water pressure in the Shower.

Cons: The beds were old and very uncomfortable. In fact they sloped in on direction. We both woke up sore. The rooms were not upkept and felt dirty. Hair dryer was broken. Door knobs were falling apart. Probably the worst hotel while in Peru for three weeks.

Pros: I got a very big room but outside of the hotel The bad are comfortable and the room is big and nice

Cons: That the suit is outside of the hotel

Pros: Nice ambiance and service. Good restaurant. We simply loved mango juice. It's a pity we could not stay longer.

Pros: Cool vibe, free activity is such a good idea!

Pros: Huacachina itself is insanely beautiful. This hostel has a chilled out vibe, it’s secure, friendly and social. Each dorm has its own bathroom so you’re not sharing with too many people. The beds are big and comfy and I met someone with a private room which I’d say is well worth the extra money. Don’t be put off by the price - it’s worth every penny as a really nice bbq dinner is included with a salad buffet and there’s even a vegan option. Can’t fault it

Cons: Nada!

Pros: Loved the complex and facilities

Cons: Room hot at night. Could do with AC I was there at Easter and thought too many people

Pros: Dinner and breakfast was excellent.

Cons: Good for young people

Pros: Good hangout, you can order nice food and drinks all day, good breakfast (choice of pancakes with lots of fruit, coffee and juice; or eggs or yoghurt with fruit), location is good, but huacachina is very small so everything is nearby anyways. Staff is very helpful and speaks English. We did the free Pisco tour and it was fun, we also did the BBQ, but I don’t recommend that when you are vegetarian (even though they say it’s ok as vegetarian since they have 1 veggie burger), meat eaters will find there luck and have a choice of many meats. Good place to wait and hang around to catch your night bus, there is a luggage room and there are showers to use.

Cons: Very noisy, there is loud music from 8am till 11:30pm, the room was very hot and there is not much privacy since the rooms are next to the bar and swimming pool, so we couldn’t open the doors or window. The room was not clean: I found a contact lens and lots of hair spread around. Don’t book the Islas Ballestas tour in the hotel: you pay a lot of money only for a kind of very slow shared taxi service (it took us 2,5 hours with stops at all hotels to pick up people). Once you are in Paracas you have to pay for the boat tour separately. So you can better arrange the transport yourself (public bus from Ica). The boat trip itself is recommended though!

Pros: Literally everything. We stayed in a room, it was very clean and comfortable. It has very clean and welldesigned bathroom and toilet. Music, staff, food, location.. everything was well better than expected.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Great vibes, good food, awesome buggy & sandboarding tour included in the price

Pros: Great location and great food.... nice pool!

Cons: Music went a bit late.

Pros: If you like to visit huacachina this hostel is a good choice as they offer activities for each day you booked with them. I went to the sand buggy and wine experience. I enjoyed it very much :)

Cons: Huanachina is very touristy I would recommend to go to paracas national reserve instead :) but it was still a very nice trip.
