It is about 10 mins to the hostel, not 3, and it costs about 35 soles to take a taxi if you don't arrange transportation with them. There is nothing to do close by, but a convenient place to stay if you are coming in late to the airport, or catching a flight out of Lima. The staff is very friendly, and the place is clean. The free breakfast includes made to order eggs, and fresh juice. Wifi does not work in the rooms, only in the lounges.

Great staff with a fun, comfortable, atmosphere. Perfect spot for quick access to the airport. Only drawback is the not-so-nice neighborhood and the distance from town center. Otherwise we loved the great people and all the fun activities there for us while we had 24 hours between flights.

Dear You wished you cancel the reservation after the first night sleeping in the hostel and I refuse to respect a number of reservations reservation. In every hostel there cancellation policies, in our hostel are canceled with 48 in advance. Imagine arriving at the hostel and did not find a bed for you? I am very respectful of online reservations. And I expect the same respect you. I hope you have a lovely stay in South America. By the way the score of 20% is only a reflection vengeful and has nothing to do with reality. Just wish you good luck, Friend : )

Shame about the location cause everything else is really nice :-) the people are very helpful and pick up at the airport was arranged...

I just needed a place to layover for a night until I left for my next location. I arrived at 1am and left at 11am. They picked me up from the airport so that was great after a long day of flying. I didn't see much of the place and it's not close to Central but it's close to the airport, which is what I wanted. Also, it was nice and quiet. The bed was cozy and they provided breakfast, towels, soap, and a locker for my things. I would stay there again for a layover.

A great staff and location is good if you're looking for a place with easy airport access. Also, there is an adorable cat named Sabrina, who likes to sit on shoulders. We only stayed at the hostel one night, but it was an enjoyable overnight. the breakfast provided in morning was also very nice (included eggs!).

Good if you need a place to stay close to the airport, as not a great area.

Good if you are staying overnight to get to the airport, but the locaion is sort of the in the middle of no where. We were the only people there. But was a pretty cool hostel... would be better if it was situated in Miraflores.

This hostel is not in a great location, but it is near the airport and the only reason I stayed there. I had an early flight the next morning so wanted to stay as close to the airport as possible. The rooms are basic and the one I stayed at had its own bathroom, which was very clean. There is not much to do, other than a pool table and a tv. The bar didn´t have any cold beer or that many options either. Not the friendliest staff but ok.

Dear , thank you very much for your comment. But I do not understand something, you say that is good for locaclización proximity to airport and that you served. The hostel is called Pay Purix Hostel - "Lima Airport". Lima is a city of 11 million inhabitants. It's a big city. Thank you again for your comment and wish you a beautiful trip : ). Cheers! very cold beer!

I arranged a taxi (early in the morning) to go to the airport and nobody was on reception, everything was closed. I needed to woke up a person in a room so he can call the taxi and open the door.

Excellent hostel for late or early flights. Rubbish breakkie but pool table and heated roof terrace with hammocks! Also good size lockers with keys provided. Only one bathroom for about 12 beds but clean & bilingual staff.

The building is not nice or in a safe area, but security seems tight. The proximity to the airport is really the reason to stay at this hostel. I flew in to Lima at night and had an early flight out the next day so this hostel was perfect for my purposes. I would recommend it to anyone doing the same. The staff was friendly, the pisco sours were delicious, the breakfast was nice and the room was clean. My alarm was a rooster outside the window. Don't have to be up early? Bring earplugs.

The direcction to the airport is realy very near (3 Minutes app.). In the morning they present you not only a normal "American breakfast" like in other hostels, no. I was very surprised of the breakfast, because it is so different to others. You get fresh juses, cakes, breath and not only one type of marmelade. And also cafe, milk o tea. What you prefer. The hostel is also very clean, the personal very helpfully. I stayed her for the 3th time & like to come back. It´s a very nice hostel.

The beds here are Amazing! It was a very comfortable and warm sleep, and the bunk beds are nice! The kitchen is good with all the amenities and a really relaxed chill out area and bar (with cable), and the staff are super friendly. I would definitely stay here next time Im in Lima :)
