When we arrived, our room window was open which is off given the current dengue fever crisis. We didn’t actually stay at Waikiki. I feel there was a bit of dishonesty from the receptionist at check in regarding our room and booking. We booked a room with aircon, didn’t get aircon. They said we could change but the change would be in another building which was a hassle so we didn’t worry as it was cool enough at night. The room ended up being great so I didn’t let it taint our experience, and the receptionist was still very friendly and helpful otherwise.

Very big room with massive bathroom - apartment style. Fun rooftop, easy to make friends. Special shoutout to the bartender Jesus - he’s a legend. Pretty good value for money. Close to the cat park!! Clean facilities. All staff were friendly and helpful.

Rooms were big and spacious, with A/C too and an en-suite. There are other showers to use externally of the rooms too. Breakfast was lovleyyyy and definitely worth paying for. Location was great, super close to the beach and to the centre of Miraflores. Met an amazing group of people from the hostel on the walking tour and we hung out for 3 days after. All the staff are super friendly, helpful and there’s a lot of free shots going around! The surf lessons were also great value for money! I returned to Lima a week later and they let me hang out in the hostel and keep my bags there before my next bus.

A little outdated maybe needs a refresh in parts and a upgrade. Small kitchen.

The staff especially Felix and Gustavo were amazing and super friendly, helpful and hosted a perfect environment for travellers.

The hobs in the kitchen didn’t work particularly well - struggled to turn them on and off

Whilst we booked Waikiki hostel, we were put in Alpes Lima, so this review is for Alpes Lima. Comfy and clean room, very welcoming staff, excellent location (close to Kennedy Park Tourist Information Centre which is perfect for the airport bus). Also had free luggage storage and a lovely rooftop bar

Stayed in October 2023

Loud music in the evening (at least until 10pm) and there was a common area right outside our room where people were talking (walls were thin so it was quite loud!)

Comfy room, excellent shared kitchen with all the essentials, friendly staff, and free luggage storage. Very close to the coast and Kennedy Park. We did the free walking tour around Barranco which was excellent

Stayed in November 2023

WiFi was very poor Huge disparity between 8bed dorms of the same price (one downstairs has no lockers or space in the room and the bathroom is out through the reception) Staff were helpful but disorganised when sorting extensions/room changes

DISCLAIMER: review is about rainbow hostel (sister hostel) as I was moved there due to overbooking Rainbow was in a good location and rooms/bathrooms/kitchen were clean. Secure access and laundry offered. Can use facilities at sister hostels.

Great location and the staff were absolutely fantastic. Being able to leave our bags whilst we were out of Lima for a few days was awesome too.

Mattress was very soft and used, at least in my case.

Great Hostel, very good breakfast, cool staff. Especially Rose is a very nice and polite person. She helped me many times and gave me great recommendations for my stay in Lima, wonderful.

The receptionist Rose was so kind. The location is great. My only problem was with the internet connection, all other things made me satisfied.

Really close to town, decent price, good bar and the staff were really lovely and helpful. Can get sim card, Taxis to airport and further transport all sorted here

The WiFi was really slow/didn’t really work in the dorm rooms and my bed was right next to the AC so it was a little cold at night.

The staff were super friendly and helpful, and there was a good social vibe at the hostel.

Staff is absolutely amazing Comfortable bed Great parties Very helpful, I received so many advice for my travel

I didn't like that I could not lock my room since it was not a private room. I have almost exclusively stayed in shared hostel rooms when I travel and have never come across the problem of being unable to lock my door whenever. There was a working lock on the door and I was the only occupant for the night in my 4-bed room, but there is only one key from what I understood, so I wasn't allowed to lock it. I would have felt much safer being able to do so as the room is on the ground floor, and I felt that anyone could have walked in at any point during the night. The bar was also a little loud from inside the room, but I think they lowered the music after 10pm.

The staff are AMAZING here!! They spoke both English and Spanish and the front desk is open 24/7. Everyone is super friendly and it is such a cute hostel (it looks exactly like the pictures!). It is on a quiet side street in Miraflores, so there was no traffic sounds that I could hear as well. The room was clean and the adjoining bathroom was also clean. The two women that checked me in were great in showing me around and hastily getting me a taxi out of an unsafe situation later that night. The woman that checked me out, Rose, was also very kind and helpful during that situation. They also offered a complimentary shot at the bar upstairs haha I would recommend this hostel!

A lovely hostel with a great atmosphere. Very clean, the beds are super comfortable. The common space and the rooftop bar are pleasant and fun. The staff is amazing - Rose, Jessica and Armando were nice, kind and professional, and made me feel at home away from home. Thank you (:
