I had a great experience in The Point hostel. The hostel is clean, has friendly staff and above all there is a great atmosphere. I latterly felt home after 2 days. I stayed 6 days in end which was longer then I planned to. That had mostly to do with the great bar in the hostel and clubs where they... More

I stayed here a few nights and had an awesome time. The location is great, Barranco has a laid-back feel to it and there are good restaurants nearby. The bar has good drink specials and is a great place to meet other travelers. Also has a helpful travel center that will book bus tickets for you. Bathrooms are new and... More

The Point hostel in Lima is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. As per all Point hostels, they didn't have our reservation when we arrived (their online booking system really doesn't work!) but they found us a room anyway, and they even gave us a whole 4 bed dorm to ourselves (there were 2 of us)...

I stayed here because i stayed in the Point Mancora, this is a really nice hostel, the building very attractive and the tv rooms and bar is very nice, i did not find it to be that noisy like some people have suggested and the garden is a bonus. Its also easy to meet people which is important for me.... More

The time a spent at the Point in Lima was the best of the whole trip. The people are fantastic and the have an onsite cook that's pretty cheap. It will be even better when they have finished the new bathrooms (almost finished when I was there). There is a square nearby with the best market in Lima for tourists... More

We didn't book this hostel ourselves - we had a credit through STA travel and they booked it for our one-night layover in Lima. I read reviews beforehand that had called it "The Party Hostel," and it definitely was. The staff was not very helpful. The beds were comfortable and there were lockers to lock your bags in. The bathrooms... More

This hostel was great if what you are looking for is to meet people. We stayed there for two nights, and found it to be a decent place to base our stay. The neighbourhood is great, and it was easy to get to places to eat, shop and see. It's unfortunate that there are no private baths, and that the... More
