when we arrived we found the hostel was misrepresented online. we were not at all comfortable bc the room was stuffy with no where to change. when we tried to speak to the owner about the possibility of changing hostels he exclaimed that he would not lost money because we were uncomfortable. he proceeded to call me a liar, tell me to shut up, and then hang up the phone. i would recommend you do not stay at this hostel because it is uncomfortable and the owner is not respectful of his clients.

By far the best hostel in Miraflores, perhaps in all of Peru. Great staff, great location, and excellent amenities for the price

The pick up from the airport was fantastic, the guy at reception was great and obviously really tried to do everything for me. The bed was comfy and the shower had hot water. However the room didn´t lock, the cable tv only showed peruvian tv through snow, there was no light in the bathroom and the walls were made of paper.

the location of the hostel is very good, situated near supermarkets and restaurants and bars in Miraflores. The staff was very helpful and very friendly and the breakfast was very good. They offer a safe and cheap taxi service from the airport. We recommend staying at Kusillus Hostel while in Lima.
