“Good option near the airport”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011

We stayed here the night we landed in Peru and thought it was a good place for when you're waiting between flights. We arranged for an airport pickup when we made our reservation and that all worked very efficiently. The ride took about 20 minutes from the airport through Saturday night traffic and about 15 minutes back to the airport the next morning. When we arrived at the hotel in the evening, we were escorted through the gated all very quickly. That was welcome as we've heard of problems at some other properties closer to the airport. The hotel is very close to the beach, but we didn’t have time to visit the area.

The room was perfectly adequate and the rate included a basic breakfast and Wi-Fi. There are also a couple of computers in the lobby for guests. The friendly owner speaks at least English, Dutch, and Spanish. For the price and location, we would come back.

“Perfect for an airport stopover”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

We arrived at night on our flight from Australia and our taxi driver was waiting as promised, drove us to the hotel where we were given a very spacious and clean room opening out onto a pleasant courtyard. The bathroom was good. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, giving us good advice on a restaurant for that night and organising a taxi to the airport for us the following morning. Since we only stayed one night I can't say much more than that it seemed a charming, oldish hotel with friendly staff, very reasonable prices. We would be very happy to return for a longer visit one day.

“Great safe & quiet place to stay for good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

Pretty nice and quiet hostel about 30 minutes from the Lima International Airport. Our flight was cancelled on us and we also forgot to inform the hostel before we left, the driver still found our right flight number and waited for us at the gates. The driver spoke minimal english but a few of the staff were completely fluent. The hostel was very friendly, helpful and welcoming when we arrived past midnight.

We received a room on the second floor with two connecting rooms -- 1 matrimonial & 1 single bed sharing a private bathroom. The beds were comfortable, rooms were clean but it was a little bit chilly at night. It is their winter at the moment (End of July/August), so just bring a sweater to goto bed in. Heating seems to be lacking (but that is typical in almost all hostels in Peru unless you are paying some five star hotel. it really isn't that bad at all. Heating might be lacking but this definitely wouldn't stop me from returning to this hostel.

Hot water was plentiful and breakfast was also served at 7:30am as promised. Don't expect anything gourmet, breakfast was just bread with ham, cheese, jam, margarine with freshly squeezed juice, instant coffee and/or coca tea. (Drink the coca tea if you are leaving for Cusco) :)

The hostel also has two functional computers and wi-fi access. Wi-fi worked perfectly fine in our rooms as well on the second floor and all around the hostel.

The only issue I can see some people might find of a concern at this place was the bed sheets felt a little bit "sticky" as if humidity had got to them which doesn't phase me as they do not have dryers but hang dry their items up on the roof. I had my own sheet so i just lined the bed before sleeping (that was just me being picky about my travelling -- I would've slept in it even if I didn't have my own bed sheet). I'm not too picky, I just needed a place to stay and also where I could get some shut eye safely - this was a good place, also just by the coast as well.

Our stay was short-lived as it was only a stop over for our next flight to cusco but for $26 that included pick up/drop off safely at the airport and a room, this is a really nice place to stay.

TEMPERATURE IN AUGUST 2011:
Reviewers don't mention the weather much I noticed. I arrived in jean shorts, and a merino wool hoodie. I felt a bit chilly but manageable. Comparable to the warmer fall nights in Toronto if you can relate :)

Special clothing note worth mentioning:
Merino wool was my lifesaver for all sorts of weather in peru. If you have or haven't heard of merino wool, try looking into it and invest in a clothing item. I highly support icebreaker (brand) as I recently purchased one right before my trip due to the difference in weather changes from day and night as well as the different altitudes I was going to experience on my trip. It kept me warm, cool and odourless!! despite sweating up a storm on the inca trail and sweating to death in the jungle -- all without having to wash it for at least 1.5 weeks before the clothing saw clean water.

“It's a cheap airport hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2011

Stayed one night after arriving in Lima late at night. Prearranged transportation was waiting for us and we got to the hotel without any problem. Rooms were basic but noisy and basic breakfast.

It was okay for one night -- don't expect too much. It is okay for what it is, a place spend a night between flights.

“convenient to the airport”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2011

Picked up at the airport with our names on a card. Everything was ready when we arrived late at night. The rooms were basic as well as the shower. The breakfast was basic..bread, meat and cheese. For the price, the hotel was adequate. Overnight was sufficient.
