Good people, great vibe and staff. The rooms themselves and the included breakfast left something to be desired, but overall a good experience.

I stayed for very short time. I was accompanying my girlfriend to Lima for her flight home. The hostal let us store her things at no extra charge and even let her stay atter i had to catch a bus back to Trujillo. Didn't sleep on the bed since i had to cut my trip short but did sit on it and it felt soft. My girlfriend said she thought it felt comfortable. The staff was extremely helpful. The place seemed clean enough as far as hostals go but the common areas were a bit unkempt. Would reccomend.

All in all it was a good hostel. Very quiet and clean. Perfect for a person looking to visit the city but then crash and have some peace and quiet once at the hostel. No bar and the Kitchen could be a little nicer, but nothing unusable. Great location in Miraflores, walking distance to the beach and a quick 10 soles taxi ride to downtown Lima.

We only stayed here on a stopover on the way to Cuzco, but it more than met our needs. Fairly clean and quiet, our room was decent and the shower was hot.

Ok hostel for a short stay in Lima. Helpful English speaking staff. Lockers are in a common area which is not ideal. Every time I had a shower it was cold although they did keep telling me the hot water worked. Also for a big shared dorm of 9 people there was just one shower which is not great-expect queues in a morning.

This has been a great experience! The hostel is located in a quiet residential area but it is within walking distance to the heart of Miraflores. All the staff has been exceptionally friendly and helpful. I loved the pisco sour night on Friday, thanks, Christian! The hostel is very clean. There was hot water in the shower every time I turned it on. Overall, a great value for the money. I would recommend it to anyone staying in Lima. Dasha

The staff were really helpful with everything, particularly with supplying information about Lima. The room I was staying in was quite shabby though.

The Hostel doesn't have any sign on the outside - so it seemes not to be an official hostel. The staff was friendly but did't care about the dirt in the bathroom and a non flushed toilet when they showed me the room. They explained how the hot showers should work, but it was only cold water when I showered. The staff turned on very loud music at 23 o'clock in the lobby which is close to the dorms. Wasn't their fault but I had to share a room with noisy drunken girls who lamented loudly.

The staff was really nice, they helped us with all the bookings and pick ups. And they were fun to hang out with in the evening. The room was small but clean and it was in a quiet and save neighbourhood. There could be more bathrooms with showers. W would stay there again.

I loved my stay here! The staff was wonderful, and my room was very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend their airport transfers--they are safe and very timely.

One of the best place I've ever been ! After 6 months travelling in south america, Ekeko hostel was a really good surprise. I came back once and felt very lazy to go. I found the perfect place to chill, meet people, discover Lima in a chilling atmosphere. it's really well placed in a nice area of this busy town
