The hotel felt very secure, there was a bell to get in from the street and our ground floor room had grates over the windows. The lady at reception was helpful, welcoming and spoke good English. They had received our booking and check-in was quick. They were also able to store our valuables. It was only a short was to the park and central area of the Miraflores district and we enjoyed the free breakfast on the roof terrace, although basic the rolls were actually fresh!

The staff here were very friendly and helpful and made me feel welcome as soon as i arrived. The room was clean with hot water and free towels. Nice breakfast (by Peruvian standards!) including yoghurt and fruit. Good location, 4 blocks from Miraflores, tourist centre. No complaints at all, felt very safe and at home here.

Our first room had a spider living in one of the beds, staff were reluctant to let us switch rooms even though the hostel was practically empty. Then made us move rooms again for no apparent reason. NO atmosphere. Showers were serviceable but often cold. That said, I guess its quite cheap. We stayed 4 nights, would never stay that long again. Would I come back at all? If I had no other choice, maybe. For as little time as possible.

Stayed at the hostel for 4 nights, on each of which the staff were extremely helpful in oranising our rooms, giving information about stays, and assisting in booking tickets through other peruvian companies. The breakfast was also great, with excellent fresh food and great coffee. Overall; a highly recommendable hostel with great staff, and great position into lima city.

We stayed at this hostel during our stay in Peru and liked it so much we came back to this hostel after we visited Cusco and the Inca trail. Plenty of hot water and internet access. the people here made our stay excellent and we would recommend this to other travelers.

Very nice staff. About 3 blocks from Huaca Pucllana and about 5 blocks from Parque Kennedy, so a good location off the main street but close for walking. Simple acommodations, but everything worked. Would recommend for the price.
