More of a hotel than a hostel. Location was good as it was only a couple blocks from the plaza de armas. Breakfast was also good. Standard rolls but with bananas, cereal, meats and cheeses. Rooms were a little cold but the beds had plenty of heavy blankets. The staff that we encountered spoke english and were helpful.

Good location near Plaza de Armas and the busiest tourist street but it is quiet to sleep in. Rooms are cold. Breakfast better than other hostels in Peru. Staff doesn't speak so much english. 20 minutes walk to bus station or docks.

Helpful staff in a good location near the main square. Comfortable room and early breakfast so we could eat before being collected for trips.

The hostel was completely fine for the price. It is just the fact that my room did not have a window to the exterior. The only window opened up to a communal hall with public computers... It was hard to breath!

This is really a very nice, very affordable hostel. I had a private room with attached bath for USD 13 per night. They have a nice breakfast that goes beyond the basic bread and jam to include meat, cheese, and avocado as well as juice. None of the staff spoke any English, so be prepared to practice your Spanish. But they were all quite friendly. I recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a nice, cheap, non-party place to stay.

Only stayed here for a night but appeared quiet. Room was sparse but clean. Just a 2minute walk from the main square.

Okay stay, not the best not the worst! The shower was an accident waiting to happening having to switch water on then switch electric breaker switch on then switch it back off before the water, so when your still wet...and then went for breakfast on morning at 8:20am and told all gone because the people ahead of us ate it all, so breakfast not served until 9am it's first come first served! Staff were friendly but the hostel lacks the games room bar, pool table! So pictures are misleading on site
