I have stayed in a number of hostels in Lima, but this is by far my favourite, so I have come back to One Hostel various times throughout my time in Peru. It feels like home away from home. So nicely decorated and cosy. The staff are super friendly and go out of their way to make sure you have... More

I came to One Hostel three years ago on a family vacation. It was the first time I'd stayed in a hostel and it was incredible. The family who runs it was very kind, spoke english fluently, and helped us with all of our travel questions. I came back years later on my own to visit, after having stayed in... More

Having traveled to Peru countless times, I made plans to travel with a group of five people in May of 2011. I wanted to stay in Barranco as it promised good restaurants, nightlife and an interesting insight to Lima's aspiring art scene. I chose One Hostel because of it's location, price, and pictures that I viewed on their site. We... More

I stayed here for over week and have never felt so welcome. Melissa is super helpful and sweet. In a couple of days you will basically feel like you are staying at a friend's house and not want to leave! The quality to price point is perfect and the entire staff is very kind. It is close to everything in... More

Not sure why/how this hostel got such rave reviews. I admit, the staff is incredibly friendly. Don't get me wrong, if you need a place to stay, this is adequate and an OK price for this location. I just don't understand why people are oohing and ahhing about it. They could use some cleaning, organizing, painting, scrubbing to really get... More

I absolutely LOVED One Hostel! Melissa and her staff offer exceptional service. Melissa goes out of her way to make suggestions about places to visit, dine, and much more. The place is beautiful and clean. There is a kitchen if you would like to cook, but the hostel is located near many of Lima's top-rated restaurants and bars so many... More

This is a great place located on the main street in Barranco. Melissa and her family are friendly, helpful and welcoming. Not only is the hostel clean and comfortable but the people who stay there are also really friendly. It's only a few blocks from the Metrobus too. I stayed there twice and was not disappointed! More
