    Their neighbours were quite noisy, bordering on antisocial Their (the neighbour's) dogs attacked cars which I have never seen in my life, might be a plus as the first 3 times were entertaining 😅 Honestly for the price category this place would be perfect without the neighbours, that being said once you closed the doors to the balcony they had little impact on your stay.

    Great little place, spacious balcony and comfy beds were big plusses. Cheap and cheerful but with a great location (150m ISH to the beach) Short walk to all the key attractions Nice decor and cool despite hot weather outside. Staff were lovely and took good care of us at check in and brekky, would thoroughly recommend.

    The room was missing a shower curtain which isn’t a big deal in a big bathroom. On a quiet back street, the road is not paved but your little luggage wheels should be able to make the journey from the main road.

    Very clean and well maintained. It seems like a nice family business and a quiet place off the main street. The room had a fan and a big shower. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet overnight.

    Keep in mind: if you have a balcony room, it will be loud into the night (music, kids playing, etc). This didn't bother me, but it might keep some people awake. There's also very little air movement in the rooms, so they get stuffy. They do provide a little fan, but it's not that powerful. I still sleepy fine, but on a hot night this might be uncomfortable.

    Excellent value for the price. Basic, but clean and decently comfortable. Breakfast of fruit, bread, and scrambled eggs is a very nice touch.

    The is a roof that you can get up to but is currently being used as storage etc, this could be a real asset to the hotel if they used it as a roof terrace.

    The hotel was great. It's set two streets behind the main area/street in Paracas which is a good thing as it's very quiet and you avoid having to deal with excessive approaches for tours. From the bus station I'd recommend taking a taxi which would be 15/20 soles max. It is walkable but you'd be very sweaty/out of breath on arrival with large bags. The owners/staff are really nice, they speak very little English but that's negated with google translate. They will go above and beyond to help you and can organise a tour of the islands from the hotel, which saves a lot of hassle. The hotel itself is extremely clean and tidy and this is the same for they rooms, which are also nice for a budget price. Breakfast is good too.

    Hot water was an issue although it was sorted when it went wrong. Fans in rooms (very necessary given the area) were very noisy.

    Good location, 5 minutes walk from the main area. Nice staff and very good price for the area.

    The room was quite small and I wish there was a bit more room to put our clothes in. Also we got the room without a window although not a lot of them were taken.

    Common space made a nice atmosphere, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Localization is ok, close to the main boulvard. The man who made us breakfast was really nice. I generally recommend but rather for short stay.

    We didn't have hot water, one of the staff managed to fix it for a bit, but still did not come properly hot. And there was a bit of mold in the bathrooms. Otherwise all great.

    Hotel was in good location. Staff was great, once of the woman working there did earlier breakfast for us, as we needed to go early and she didn't want us to go without out breakfast.

    Not very quite area, the cars horning all the time also in the room you could hear every door. For that value of price it was good

    Clean room, great wifi, the staff was nice, they speak bad english, but they are trying. Breakfast was simple (bread with butter and jam, coffee). We booked a buggy tour through them.

    I wasn't aware of the tax that would be added on at the time of payment. It wasn't too much anyway but I just would have liked to know about it. There wasn't a wardrobe or space for clothes. That was fine for us as we were only staying 2 nights but worth mentioning.

    The location was great - not too close to the main square that it would be noisy at night but close enough to get there in 5 minutes walking and head back to the Hostal if you forgot something. Breakfast was simple but nice - some bread with butter and jam, delicious orange juice and your choice of coffee, tea or chamomile. The shower was lovely and the beds were comfortable. All the staff we talked to were so nice.

    the breakfast is very basic (bread and jam) and the staff were not the friendliest.

    It seems to be a very new building and as such the rooms feel very nice and clean. the location is one block off the Main Street however we liked this as the main area feels very touristy.

    Poor breakfast: two old small buns with butter and marmalade. Not very quiet area, under the window is streetfood stall operating until midnight and it's customers are quite noisy, as so as dogs around the street. Bed isn't comfortable, old sagging mattress.

    Clean and cozy room with balcony. Smiling staff. Everything is near: beach, restaurants, small local shop literally next door, bus station. Not on main road position, but still very central.

    Breakfast is just bread and butter. The shower was pretty weak and either super hot, or cold. The door to the bathroom was broken and almost got stuck inside.

    The room was clean and comfortable. Small family run place.

    The shower did not give a lot of water but enough to get clean. Not very strange considering you're in a desert.

    Very cheap hostel, especially since the breakfast is included. Everything is clean, comfortable beds. Just a few minutes by foot from the main boulevard. The staff is nice.

    I couldn’t seem to get hot water in the shower. Not sure if that was a temporary issue or if it’s always like that.

    The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, location very close to everything you could need in Paracas. Super clean and neat building/room. Great value for money.

    It's not the hostals fault, but there is a huge amount of noise outside from a local bar or restaurant until very late hours of the morning. The walls are also very thin, so if someone is talking in the corridor, they will hear. Breakfast was like a Bolivian meal - bread with jam, a little plain but did the job. We had a lot of mould in our bathroom.

    The room was otherwise very clean and the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. A great spot before doing your boat tour, if you're after a quick, cheap fix. A few parking spaces outside perfect for a car or camper.
