Although we´re only staying in the hostel for a few hours literally, the staffs are kind and helpful. The location is excellent although we don´t have the chance to utilize that.

Nothing really special. Place needs a refurbish. Locker and curtains were broken. Only one plug available in a 5 bedroom. Colective bathroom should be more private. 3 blocks from the main plaza, and for the sane price, you can stay in the Plaza. Mafe (recepcionist) and Luis (driver) made the difference on my stay.

We always pay attention to every guest advice, to solve it as soon as possible, so Thanks for the advice about the lockers, we have solved that already, and we have take note about the plugs. Fortunately we haven’t found any broken curtains. Actually most of our guests are happy to stay here, because the hostels around the Plaza, are too loud, and it’s difficult to sleep. Hope to see you again.

Great place. Seemed a little expensive, but that's after spending the last few months in Guatemala and Venezuela where the rooms were only a third of the price. I think Lima it's just an expensive city.

Nice staff

The location was really good and safe, 25 minutes walk from the ocean. The lockers were sturdy but I prefer metal lockers as they are more secure. The Wifi was good but the free computers were painstakingly slow. Unfortunately most of the staff I dealt with were downright rude except for one young lady. The girls who worked the desk were obnoxious. When I stay at a hostel I am not very demanding as I realise I am sacrifing certain comforts for price but friendliness costs nothing.

Good Hostel, nice and close to the things you needed. We only stayed one night but everyone was very friendly and the place was fairly well set up. Great staff who were only too happy to help, the place itself is a little older so it has all the characteristics of such a place. Would stay again if we returned to Lima.

Lovely place, a small walk from the main strip. They even give you a breakfast to go if you have to leave early.

Great place to stay in Arequipa. Really nice chill out zones in the house and good enough proximity to the main square and dining options.

This was a clean hostel within walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in Mira Flores. The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was great. The dorm rooms were a bit small and once ours filled up it was like some awkward dance with the others to move about among all the bags and gear. Also, we arrived early and had to wait to get into our room even though there was clearly no one else in the dorm. Plenty of other places let you in early if the room is free. A tad pricey too.

Staff was great and so very helpful. Wish there was a double and/or private room available . When I travel alone, I am flexible but when my husband travels with me, he requires a more private room. So much available within a short walk.

The 6 bed dorm is too small to fit 6 and all the backpacks. Consider making it a 4 bed dorm.

Hi Friend! Thanks for your advice. We have already changed that room to a 5 bed room and it feels much bigger. You also have the option to upgrade your reservation to one of our newly renewed 4 bed ensuit. hope your next stay with us will be even better!

Great hostel in a superb location near Park Kennedy. One of the girls at the desk was really friendly and gave us some great advice and helped us hail a cab also. Definitely would stay here if I ever get back to Lima.
