Ekeko Hostel Reviews

A good location, 10 minutes walk from Miraflores 'centre'. David was incredibly friendly and helpful. We didn't try the breakfast as we had to leave early for a flight and only stayed one night but it had a good atmosphere and there seemed to be nice people staying there. Really excellent value for money and comfy beds!

Nice management but Bug issue a nightmare, terrible bites ? Bed bugs, had to leave

Very cheap enjoyable hostel. Interesting interior, good vibes, main worker uses google translate to solve language barriers. Good kitchen, needs a collider though. Don't touch the pipe in the shower or you will get electrocuted, maybe sort that out ekeko or include a sign? Good location as it's a 10 min walk from party Miraflores, bus at top of the road to Lima centre, close to bus terminals and right by a supermarket.

Kind staff, good service, poor breakfast, excellent location

great hostel 10 minute walk to the city centre. the staff was very nice. typical breakfast of bread with jam/butter. good atmosphere, good rooms. would recommend to a friend.

The hostel is in Miraflores, so pretty far from the center if you want to go there. On the other hand, there are nice things in Miraflores as well (Lima is just too big). There is a receptionist who does not speak English, so the communication is sometimes an issue. Quite sleepy hostel, but good enough to rest and sleep in. I guess the price is pretty cheap in Lima conditions. Very stereotype breakfast (but this is the thing for all Peru hostels).

Great hostel, staff was extremely helpful. Room was comfortable and shower was hot. Wifi worked great and theres a nice communal room to watch movies. Location in Miraflores is perfect.

Excellent!

Nice but not a party hostel, for sure.

Lovely, helpful staff. Kitchen is big and great for cooking, pretty dirty though. A big supermarket is close and lots of good places to eat.

Christian was an excellent host, with great suggestions so you should take any recommendations he has! Thank you Ekeko!

Great place to stay whilst in Lima, very close to amenities and touristy things. The staff were excellent; so helpful and cheerful and always there for a chat. I would definitely stay here again!

The place is very cozy. The bedroom was really confy, and there is plenty of hot water. The Staff (Juan Miguel) is really kind and helpful. The nearby area is safe and there are many venues like restaurants, fast-food dinners, banks and supermarkets.

Nothing to complain about with this hostel, we only stopped one night so can't really comment. However the kitchen use was appreciate and the staff were really helpful. They let us keep out stuff at the hostel, have a shower and cook food for the bus journey, until about 9 at night (virtually stopping for another night) without charging. Small and clearly not a party hostel, the location is still good and the atmosphere pleasant.

Almost a twin of Backpacker's family hostel / same owners. Calm place to stay, closer to the center and airport (2 soles and less then 60 minutes by public transportation) but further from the beach. The area around is very safe but lacks budget places to eat and in my opinion is very snobbish. Nice kitchen, excellent common areas, everything is very clean although my roommates have had some serious issues at ni. Good price (7 USD/ dormitory) only valid when booking via hostelworld.com.

Nice hostel in the north of Miraflores. 20 minutes walk to the beach. Supermercado 7 minutes walk. Several minimercados in the close neighborhood. Great to stay a few nights. Compfy TV lounge with more then 100 DVDs. Lockers. Little garden. Everything is good. The only negative point is, there is only one shower, which can be busy in the morning...

It's a nice hostel and staff, small but confortable, It just need more showers, there's only one and could be busy every time.

The best in this hostel is the living room and the area for integration of the guests

Good helpful staff and great location, only around the corner from some ruins. However I was surprised that this is the only hostel in Peru where they didnt provide toilet paper and towel in the private room. Luckily I came prepared!

Lima was much better with the warmth of the staff and the home feeling environment. Thank you Miguel and Cristian.
