3 Best Hotels in Huancavelica, The Central Highlands

This standard guesthouse provides travelers with a clean bed, hot shower, and friendly service at a bargain price. That it does all this while being one block from the plaza makes up for the lack of charm. The rooms have Wi-Fi, and the owners can arrange tours of the outlying villages for intrepid travelers.

On the plaza, Huancavelica's top hotel is an attractive, Spanish colonial building with bland but sizable rooms that have individual heating, Wi-Fi, and hot showers. The hotel is now part of the Casa Andina chain, so the common areas and staff are looking a bit spiffier than in the past. The restaurant serves good criollo dishes and chifa.

Sleek, modern decor and an extremely personable staff make this small hotel a good choice for first-timers in Huancavelica. The on-site restaurant is a notch above other local eateries, with decent criollo fare and a homey feel in the main dining room.
