I had a great time at this hostel and was only there one night! The staff were so welcoming and friendly and gave you great advice...the best was where to buy the best grilled cowhearts in the street! (FYI the lady in front of the art museum 30 seconds away!) And i felt safe! As a girl travelling alone people... More

We were placed in the most basic room initially, not even a shelf to place our personal items on. But the beds were ok and it was clean. The bathroom were clean (but run out of toilet paper before morning). Upon returning with my boyfriend, the room we had reserved weeks in advance (and had reconfirmed by email and in... More

This hostel is truly different than the usual hostels I have been. It is located in the center of Lima (already somehow special, most hostels are in Miraflores), only a few blocks away from the daily chaos of downtown. First of all, it is safe ! Everybody is going to Miraflores because it is safe, well, this hostel is an... More

Just after our arrival in Peru and we came back at the end as we liked its high level of safety, kitchen facilities and that everybody of the staff spoke English. What we didnt like: noises at night from the courtyard, shared bathrooms (just 1 toilet in the men's facilities!, lack of toilet... More

It is a really nice hostel if you are looking for a cheap place. It definitely has the feel of classic backpackers hostel. The rooms are nice, shared bathrooms are okay. Breakfast is simple but it's enough with bread, jam, butter, coffe/tea. It has a nice common room with a pool table. Also they have nice beers. The neighborhood is... More
