    The girl that was sharing our room was rude (not the hotels fault)

    Great location very near the cat park! Comfortable beds and linen, lockers in room that you lock with a padlock if you have one, hot shower, good budget accommodation in a nice area

    i wish they provide soap and shampoo, also bathroom rug would also be useful. i didn’t get to use the kitchen or refrigerator.

    location makes it very easy to walk to different places and restaurants. the room was clean and chic. all the outlets were functional and the wifi was okay. we loved the foosball table (although it was a little broken down), also the free use books were convenient too. convenience store are also available close by. the front desk was very nice and helpful too.

    I'd have liked some more soap in the bathroom.

    The staff was really nice, helpful and always open for conversation. Except for the usual noise of Lima, the hostel was quite calm.

    The bathrooms were moldy and because the beds weren't against the wall stuff kept on falling on me from above.

    It’s basic accommodation, no aircon which was quite hot during the hot summer afternoons.

    Great location, the staff (Kenny and another lady who’s name I forgot) were super helpful in getting us a bus card, recommending where to get cash out without charge etc. they also kept our bags for us when we went on a day trip after checking out for 5 soles a bag. 5 min walk to Ricardo Palma bus station which gets you to the main spots in the city

    I don't like to be asked to give a 10/10 review and leave a private comment by email. I look at reviews on booking.com to help me decide and it's no use if they're not genuine. So that bothered me. The room was fine but someone showing next door in the shared bathroom woke my partner in the middle of the night because it sounded like a drill hammering on the wall. I found the receptionist a little passive-agressive rude. Small things, like making me wait when I went to check in till she finished something, making me wait to get my bag out of storage, ignoring me the first time I asked. I had a query about the price being different to what it said on Booking.. She wasn't transparent(I'd upgraded but the app still gave the old price) and was a bit rude in how she answered me. These things didn't go unnoticed.

    Good location, good kitchen, good hot shower, strong fan in the room

    The fan in our room is a bit small for this big room. There’s no curtain in the room so very bright in the morning.

    We stayed room 7 which is quite spacious with clean and private bathroom. We can watch YouTube and Netflix on TV. The bed is comfortable and big. Shower is hot and water pressure is strong. The staffs are friendly. The location is close to Kennedy park.

    I am grateful to the staff for saving my room reservation in case of a problem with confirming my bank card. The staff responds promptly to chat messages. I liked the location of the hostel. I walked quietly to the Larcomar shopping center. The transfer (taxi call) from the hostel to the airport is carried out without problems, the cost was 50 Peruvian sols

    This is a reasonably priced hostel situated in the Miraflores district of Lima. The location was excellent since it was walking distance to many fine restaurants, cafes, boutiques and markets in the upscale Miraflores area. I had a spacious room with a private bathroom. The bathroom had great water pressure for showers and copious amounts of hot water. The bed was very comfortable and the hostel was quiet during the evening. The wifi reception was excellent and my room had a TV with access to YouTube and Netflix. The kitchen area was well maintained and organized. Hostel staff were all courteous and professional and spoke some English. This was a perfect place to stay in Lima for solo budget travellers like me and I would definitely stay here again when visiting Lima,
