y friend and I spent one night at this hostel and found it to be a very friendly and good place to meet other backpackers. We had a small clean room with towels, shared bath rooms were also clean. The personnel helped us without being asked with the organisation of the next step of our journey in an amazing way.... More

In a very safe part of Lima, clean and secure. Owners Christian and Pedro were great, we got loads of good advice and a free Spanish lesson! They had a free Pisco sour night too!! Rooms were good although a little stuffy but fine!

We stayed here for one night in November 2012 after arriving on a late flight from the UK. The building itself feels very safe behind a surrounding high wall and is full of classic character. The communal area has been painted with art to give the old building a modern hostel feel. Unfortunately for us it really fell short in... More

I stayed here with my boyfriend for 3 nights as a part of our round-the-world trip. We stayed in the 7-person dorm and it was full all the time. This seems to be a very popular place, but it is not a party-place - It was always very quiet at night. We met a lot of other travellers over the... More

In backpacker's family house we found a clean and really beautiful hostel with excellent facilities and staff. That was just one night. Upon return to Lima i stayed another 3 nights... More

This place is really good, strategic location just one block from the beach, surrounded by nice and safety area near the parks and a good bakery (tells the guys that show you, ask for empanadas). The staff is very helpful with a lot of knowledge about the LIma places and good bars and restaurant. The food in Lima is amazing!...... More

We only needed one nights stay in between bus journey and flight and it did the job. Owner is helpful, rooms a bit cold and shower was awful, just a trickle. Good location for beach though! We didnt try breakfast as flight was early but the owner recommended a good restaurant for ceviche called La Red which was very nice.
