    I really love the stuff, especially Nadia, Alexa e Dayana, very professional and always ready to give me advice with nice smiles. I also loved the way this hostel is organized (games, night activities at the bar and so on) The breakfast is lovely.

    Really bad bathroom situation (2 showers, 2 toilets and 1 sink in tiny room for aprox. 20 people), no kitchen available, can be quite loud during the night as it is located in a really vibrant street, I also missed some areas to chill (besides the rooftop bar and one small couch in the lobby no common area)

    Really nice rooftop bar with daily events, liked the design of the hostel with the paintings on the wall and the creative lobby

    Bought a Sim-Card. First it should be unlocked in a few hours, which wasnt the case. Then it should be unlocked the next morning, which wasnt the case. In the afternoon it was finally unlocked. As mobile internet was needed it would have been nice to know exactly when its unlocked. Would we have known before that it takes over 24hours, we would have gone to another place. NOT part of our feedback, just info: Noisy at night, as it is close to a busy street with traffic and music.

    Amazing Design with plants and paintings everywhere, friendly staff that supports in every question.

    Location was great, terrace is lovely, decent sized clean dorms, and the staff are amazing. Nice breakfast... Shout out to Diana, Carlos & Jose Lewis who helped me during and after an unexpected emergency. Huge thanks to you all. Stayed here a few times in between other cities and will definitely be returning.

    Wifi was not stable

    The location is very good. Parque del Amor and Parque Kennedy are in walking distance. The bus stop to/from the airport is 2 mins from the hostel. The reception staff is kind and supportive. Breakfast is great. The shower in the room is tiny but is hot and good pressure. Also there is a hairdryer.

    Bed was not the most comfortable mattress. Also, I think it should be very clear on the website the hostel is in a loud party area. We had an early flight leaving Lima and honestly didn't get the best nights sleep because of all the noise from the bar below us and noise on the street. If I knew it was this loud I would have stayed somewhere quieter. Overall hostel is nice and modern though.

    Hostel is very clean and modern and seems to be very safe.

    We stayed in an 8 bed dorm. Some nights, other guests would close the window to block out the noise from the street (I'd not realised it was a party street) -- but then that meant the room got really hot! Kind of a lose-lose situation but not something the staff can do much about. Also one bathroom on our floor was out of order during our stay which meant one toilet on the floor between multiple rooms, which wasn't ideal

    Great central location. Cool interior decoration. Friendly staff. Super clean everywhere, there always seemed to be staff cleaning. Comfy beds. A good selection of breakfast options. The roof terrace / bar was a nice environment to work or travel plan in. A good balance of guests - not just couples or just solo travellers like in some hostels - which made for a nice atmosphere.

    Great location,, friendly staff, cool atmosphere. One of the best places to stay in Miraflores. Lobby is really pretty with all the plants and we had a movie night at the upstairs bar. Great views from the room. Good breakfast! Short walk from Parque Kennedy and the Malecon, lots to do in the area.
