Make no mistake, this is a gringo party hostel - but it's very well run by a group of staff both Peruvians and travellers. Spotlessly clean. Reception and bar staff spoke very good English. Good rooftop terrace (bit of a smokers area) and bar which showed the Champions League while I was there. Restaurant in the bar serves affordable food... More

Pariwana is a hostel with dorm rooms and privates. It is located in what I think is the best area of Lima. It is central to everything at Parque Kennedy, Miraflores. Having been there on two different occasions, more than a year apart, I was impressed that the management is always committed to improving upon the already great operation. It... More

Great location in a safe area of lima. The hostel is in a really nice building (doesn't look like it from the outside but inside its got beautiful features!). The rooms are good, if a little squished with big bags everywhere, but you get your own locker with electrical plug inside the locker which is really good. Breakfast is good... More

Very nice hostel -- everything looks new, beds are comfortable and there are large lockers in the rooms, private bathroom was very clean. Kitchen is a bit small, but functional and available for use. They had a BBQ on the night we stayed in the common are -- food was good. Noisy party was going on in the common area... More

This is the sister Hostal to the one in Cusco. Situated right in the heart of Lima. It has a very steep winding staircase, looks impressive but be careful if you have had a drink or 9!! Food is served in the Bar and outside smoking area and patio. The patio is grubby and dirty and noisy, with very bad... More

There's a huge difference between a trashy party hostel and a good party hostel. This is the latter. It's a big, clean building with a huge beautiful spiral staircae with various common areas, clean bathrooms, and good dorm rooms. The whole rooftop turns into a bar at night and the crowd is pretty good. You can't hear the noise from... More

I have stayed in many hostels on my travels and after staying in the Pariwana in cusco I decided to book into the one in Lima.. And I wasn't disappointed its so fun, friendly and in a perfect location, different activities to get people together on an evening, staff are very helpful, it's all about the summer party on Saturdays...

We stayed here for a long time in the end as we passed through Lima multiple times during our stay in Peru. I can only really be positive about my stay here; the beds were the most comfortable we've stayed in during our entire travels. The rooms were spacious and cool and surprisingly, even the rooms right by the bar/terrace... More

I was staying in Lima for a longer period of time and tried different hostels. This one is great! The only bad thing was that in our dorm of 10 people and a badly working airconditioning, it was soo hot every night. No air! Other than that i really liked pariwana. Apart from the perfect location in the center of... More
