The staff didnt have a clue about directions. How to reach Caminito or where is the tourism office, they didnt know. A pity. However, they have a good attitude. And even I know that is a common practice in hostels, when you have a private room i dont like at all that i have to leave de keys on the front desk when i go out.

Great little place, right in the heat of BA - we loved the chilled out atmosphere, the facilities do need a little bit of work. There is certainly a late night culture in BA and this hostel is no exception the majority of the guests headed out on the pub crawls that started and 2am and it does make for a rowdy common area right through the night - I only mention that because 3 of the private rooms open straight on to the common area. Breakfast was great.

We enjoyed our stay in BA Stop! it´s one of the pricier hostels, and even though the breakfast wasnt as \"excellent\" as advertised, the general experience was beyond great - the staff was friendly, the rooftop terrace was very convenient (although it does not have a view whatsoever) and the facilities were super! The location is excellent, right by Lima metro station and the main streets of BA, where its still safe to walk around at all hours.

Staff not helpful at all. Property not good enough. Double room without air conditioning and extremely noisy. Nevertheless, we manages to have a good stay there! Good atmosphere and nice decoration.

I was lucky enough to have my own room with an ensuite for less than AUD $50 a night, and wearing ear plugs was not bothered by the noise from the street or reception where music was playing. As I was severely jet lagged, having come from Australia with a 14 hour time difference, there were times when I had to sleep during the day. Breakfst was media lunes and rolls, with coffee and cereals. he staff were very helpful, especially with helping me get in touch with friends using the phone.

Great hostel, is not very big so meeting people becomes easier than other big hostels. The staff is the best! always helping and giving information about the city. I liked the artistic murals on the walls & the piano, gives a "different touch" to the hostel.

Good hostel except for the noise at night. Street noise was high and thus it was hard to sleep.

The hostel is great. I nice space, full of people from all over the world, and this is the best, cause many people make the place better and with a great diversity. Cristian and Lorete were very lovely with me all the time. Tha breakfast was also very good. I like the paintings and the "street art" on the walls. The bad things: Some people of the staff don't know how to welcome the traveler. One of the girls was very unpolite. And gosh, the building is full of bats! :O I could give 8 in 10.

They need better ventilation in the bathrooms and communal areas especially when its 40degrees outside. Air conditioning would be a bonus, worth paying a bit more for too in Summer. The staff were all very friendly!
