...with the best location for the price, Miraflores is the trendy place to stay. We requested a room on back of the building to avoid the noisy traffic and honking of cars. This hostel is very clean, the room with two beds was on the small side, however, the bathroom was very spacious and clean, the beds were very firm. They have an elevator which helped my mom avoid the steps, a safe box in the room which helped us with the stress of not carrying our valuables and a computer with free internet in the hallway in case you didn't bring your laptop. Service was excellent, Continental breakfast is included and right on time, employees are super friendly, everyone was so helpful. The place is very safe as it is that part of town, which is what makes it such a bargain - clean, inexpensive and well located.
You can walk everywhere, very nice walk to the boardwalk and parks (Kennedy park on Sundays), shopping, 'locutorias' which are places where you can make very inexpensive overseas phone calls (a 10 min. call to NY cost me a dollar!). And restaurants!! Lots of good choices. About 15 minutes (without traffic) from downtown Lima, cab $3. I was happy to find reviews about it, I just had to write one in appreciation.
