Good location in Miraflores, short walk from the beach. The hostel has a nice big roofterrace with pingpongtable, a good tv room with a lot of movies, clean bathrooms and good beds (with two pillows). Dislike: the streetnoise. Other than that, it's a good and safe hostel (big lockers where you can charge your phone), worth the money

I have travelled extensively and stayed in many backpacker hostels around the world and I can easily rate this place in my top 3. A few key observations: - It's in a great location, walking distance from the beach and a short (7 soles) taxi ride to the Baranco party district - Everything is very well organised and there is an atmosphere of professionalism - The beds are amazingly comfortable - The staff organise great social events and take you out to hidden spots - The roof terrace! Stay there

We had a great stay here. It's in an excellent location and the staff are mostly friendly. The shared bathrooms are great as they are shower/toilet/basin cubicles with lots of room so your stuff doesn't get wet. I'd recommend this place to anyone coming to Lima! :)

This is the most fun hostel I´ve ever stayed in. The staff is fantastic and they have set up many interesting activities to help you get to know the other guests. It´s a little crazy, so you could probably find a quieter hostel, but the walls are actually fairly thick; the noise from the bar didn´t bother me. Comfortable beds, decent breakfast (a few types of bread and cereal, coffee and tea), and hot showers. It´s one of the more expensive hostels I´ve stayed in, but it´s well worth the $15.

Beds were super comfy and I loved the outlets in the lockers! The staff was friendly but not overly helpful. The hostel was a little loud due to being located on a busy street, but that's the price you pay for a good location. Also liked that a travel agent came to the hostel daily. Normal padlocks don't fit the lockers...

Activities arranged by the hostel were very good! Hot showers!! Bathrooms are reasonably clean. Rooms are spacious and lockers big with electric sockets inside.. Beds are comfy and you get two pillows! When booked through hostelworld you get different color wristband- meaning you're treated "VIP" because you can leave a review of the hostel..

This is a very big hostel with a huge diversity of people. I made friends and had a good time. Considering their volume of people, they could use a few more bathrooms, though I know that's not a suggestion that can easily be met. Its a bit on the rugged side, but that's not to say dirty or unsafe. The staff planned fun activities and outings that definitely added to my Lima experience.

A very good hostel. Not the quiestest one you´ll find, but they did a good job splitting the sleeping rooms and the communal places, so one can sleep very well. They could do with some more computers. Otherwise, the staff is great and helpful, and the place is secure. Everything you need to start a good trip through Peru.

Great hostel if you like the party vibe. My bed was next to a window which stayed open the whole time and is on top of a busy road so I hardly slept. I was planning on staying longer but left after 2 because of this reason.
