Positives: The kitchen and outdoor area are really great and well equipped and the neighborhood is safe. Negatives: Not very well organized (they switched my room from a 4bed dorm to a 10 bed dorm because the 4 bed dorm is basically unusable since it has no windows and smells moldy), the hostel is not very clean or secure (anyone...

we booked 3 nights in a private room with bathroom. We were given a room with no bathroom without any explanation. When we questioned it the told us that there had been a flood in one of the other rooms. We were then told they had an empty dorm with a bathroom which we could have to ourselves, they then... More

great location, great breakfast, super clean, great management, super safe, super price, great atmosphere....everything...best in lima and surely one of the best in the world price/quality.

Negatives: Worst beds I have ever slept on and I have travelled extensively, literally just a peice of foam, you sink to the bottom on to the wooden planks underneath you and the rest of the foam envelops you in a sweaty mess. Regularly there is no water, for hand washing, showers or toilet flushing - a fairly fundamental requirement... More
