Really cool building, organized and helpful staff. Only problem was the room was nothing like advertised. Website showed clean room with desk and giant bed for 2 people. Received room with 2 twin beds and an old chair in the corner. Room had no ambience at all. Hostel is big and surprisingly private for how many people appear to be... More

Good: it is old guesthouse with marble decor..., and is located within 10 blocks to the Palza de Arms, and I reached the Real Plaza, supermarket on foot, English speaking staff and tour agency in the lobby that I bought bus ticket. Bad: my room is near to the lobby and reception, the ventilation is based on the top window... More

Lima was just a stopover for us, but we had a really good experience at 1900. Things were well organized, beds and bathrooms were clean, the building and decor were really nice. Great social atmosphere too, even though we were a little tired from traveling to really enjoy it! With the short time we had we were able to walk... More

Well located in the center of Lima (near the historical center), 24 hour reception, hot showers, nice clean rooms with personal lockers and very good value for the price. Bathrooms could be better though. Bar and pool table disponible. Nice lobby and nice staff.

This hostel is affordable and a great place for anyone wanting to meet fellow travelers and see the city of Lima. They offered daily activities lead by their staff (some extended travelers and some Peruvian staff). We went to the beach south of Lima, surfing in miraflores, had a rooftop grilling night, free tour of the historic district, and more.... More

This hostel is a hip backpacker's hostel. The building is like a French mansion and the decor, especially in the double rooms is modern and cozy. The only problem with this place is that it's on a main road (a very safe and nice main road) but it gets quite noisy quite early, like they love their horns! So ask... More

In a beautiful old building, we stayed in a room for two people, with three beds. On the first night my friend slept in bed "wrong": she didn't know that the chosen bed wasn't clean. Then she changed the bad at next day. The guy at the desk seemed another guest: when I asked for a water bottle I had... More

Firstly if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Lima id suggest Miraflores, its a really nice area and you can get the bus to the centre to see the sights. If you want to stay in the very centre of lima, in the hustle and bustle then this is a good option. Its right opposite the art museum... More

On the pictures looks very nice - and indeed the first impression is very good. The rooms are quite shabby and you have to check if the doors would lock - ours did not, so we changed the room. The whole building is in great colonial style, but not maintained as it could have been. The bathrooms (on a shared... More
