Very nice! I asked the taxi when I arrived at the airport because I don\'t speak Spanish, it was at night, and I\'m a single woman traveler. As the other ppl say it was expensive, but I\'m satisfied with it. On the next morning I walked to the airport by my self at around 9 am. I think it wasn\'t dangerous, but it took me around 20-25 min. I was kinda sick and had 10+kg backpack, so it was hard. The way between the hostel and the airport is pretty simple, so you can walk.

If you´re looking for a place close to the airport for a stop over, this is a great place to stay. They even made us bag breakfasts before we left early in the morning for a flight. Very nice, comfy hostel.

When I got there they said that they do not receive the initial payment paid online to hostelworld, which bothered me a bit. Not financially but I was made slightly un comfortable because either the hostel or the website was not behaving as promised. Other wise, my stay was great.

Taxi was on time to meet me at the airport. Excellent for overnight stay close to airport. I got in late and flew out mid morning next day. Much better than sleeping at airport. Staff was friendly, breakfast was good and taxi was arranged to return to airport.

Good option to stay if you arrive late and have a flight next day morning. Nice people, sure the surrounding area is not the best but the hostel and the people were really nice.

Very friendly staff at this hostel and it good to have a pick service to and from the hostel. Just makes things so much easiers instead of putting up with the taxi maniacs out the front of the airport. The location of the hostel is good and bad. Its great for conneting flights and one night layovers however the area is a bit average. . Great breakfast and chilled atmosphere and would get better reviews if in a better location but will give you a taste of real Peruvians on the streets.

Reasonable stay at this hostel, liked the fact they had lots of facilities (pool table, DVDs, good wifi,etc). It was also great to see there was a bar inside the hostel especially given the area around the hostel didn't look particularly safe to go out to. The airport pickup was good (not located close to the city -its an airport hostel). My one big complaint was that the bed I slept on was ROCK hard as if I was sleeping on a sheet of plywood. Overall apart from the bed it looked an ok hostel.

+ friendly people, good breakfast with fresh fruits, bright colors and nice decoration, very close to the airport. - expensive airport transport (25sol, taxi from outside was only 6), smelled a lot like cats downstairs, no other people so not to much of an atmosphere, rather expensive for the type of hostel. But a good choice for one night in between flights!

we were only here for a couple hours. the problem was, i corresponded with a hostel staff and they confirmed they'll arrange for taxi pickup. well it was 0300 and we waited at the airport for 15 mins, but we gt our own taxi snce i already told them we need to get picked up on time. on arrival to the hostel, the girl on the counter was con brfused about our arrival date/time and was slow to move to get us settled. breakfast was good tho.

Great hostel for layovers. They'll come and pick you up from the airport for an extra cost thats well worth it to avoid the crowd of taxi drivers that you'll have to face, plus since the traffic in Lima is terrible, going into the city is kinda of pointless.

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.

Very friendly and helpful staff, and the taxi service from the airport was expensive but very convenient (the driver spoke english and waited more than an hour for me after my late-night flight was late). Nice clean place with comfy beds and friendly communal areas with bar and sunny courtyard. Location is pretty dodgy however, so I'd mostly recommend it for proximity to the airport rather than your whole time in Lima.

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 : )

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!).
