The room was OK. The bathroom did not have hot water. Looked like someone above us could see our bathroom. The bath area was deep and I was afraid of slipping into it. The front desk person charged me $6 more than was promissed. She arranged the taxi for next day for 8 am for our 10:45 am flight. We... More

The hostel is in a great location and you can get a taxi to anywhere for next to nothing. The area seemed quite safe too me and my husband walked 12 blocks down the main road in the dark and felt safe enough especially as it is south America. The staff are very friendly and helpful especially the sweet girl... More

Didn't plan on staying here but it was the closest to the bus station when we were dropped of (all the long distance bus companies have terminals 15 min walk away) and turned out to be a great find. Friendly helpful staff, plenty of space to lounge around including a suntrap garden, decent breakfast and wifi. Rooms are basic but... More

Our mail was promptly answered in very good English and when we arrived at Lima airport, our pickup service was waiting right after immigration, as the Hostel previously communicated.

Friendly and welcoming staff, clean big rooms, good beds, awesome big shower, a clean and big kitchen with all you need, a nice garden with hammocks,... More

Linen of the bed already used by someone else, as we found hair on them. comfortable location if you need to go the the Ormeno bus... More

If you like your hostel with a large dose of bad attitude (staff´s), incompetent staff, and prudish single-sex dorms, then this is the place for you. The workers lie to you, roll their eyes at you, make you wait 15 minutes so that they can write e-mails, refuse to get out of their chair to help you, order you around... More
