This was probably the most homely and one of the most intimate hostels I've ever been to. Great value, with intimate, laid back atmosphere and friendly, helpful hosts. If most of the stuff you want to do is in Miraflores or Borranco, you have to factor in the travel price to get there and back, which - if you don't... More

I have spent months traveling in Peru and South America and this is the best hostel I've ever stayed in. Yes it's in a residential area, yes it's not a party hostel, but it's safe and you can walk around most of San Borja at night. It's close to the now open electric train which gives you access to many... More

Friendly helpful owner and a comfortable lounge area with wifi, but that's as good as it gets. The small 'hostel' is just the top floor of her house located in a residential district very far away from the tourist/backpacker attractions. You will be at the mercy of taxi drivers who find it very difficult to locate the address. Contrary to... More

The staff are so helpful and informative! And the hostel itself is very cosy and homely. A great place to relax on comfy sofas in the common room with an unlimited number of films. Nice breakfast, clean bedrooms, convinient localization in a very safe part of Lima. Great value, 100% worth recommendation.

Imagine your perfect holidays: you are in South America, doing some gringo stuff - drinking coconut milk on Copacabana, singing Girl from Ipanema, painting in Valparaiso, licking earth in Uyuni, climbing on Wayna Picchu, (...), and when you finally rich the last stop of your dreamed holidays - you just can't believe that you can feel more like home.

I'd say that it was one of the most comfortable places that we stayed, my boyfriend Christopher and myself- Anna. Joanna and Jeremy they are perfect hosts with great hospitality, very comfortable beds and delicious mixed menu. We came from Germany and we could taste Polish (in South America!) and Peruvian cuisines. We would highly recommend that place for all... More

It's a quite new hostel with good people inside and lots of positive energy vibring around, they really care about you, so feeling like home, but also no-one disturbs if you need to be alone, anyway...
