Staff was very sweet and accommodating. Let me store luggage when I arrived way before check in. I was a bit let down as many reviews said this was a very social hostel and had fun activities, yet no one staying there ever really talked to each other or me. Totally depends on who’s staying there at the time, I just expected some more hostel lead activities. Overall a great hostel if all u need is a place to leave your things and keep at night ;)

This quiet hostel is located in a prime Miraflores location that is close to great restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, laundries and Peruvian craft shops. This was my second time staying in this quiet, well managed and comfortable hostel. I had a room with a spacious private bathroom that had a walk in shower, good water pressure and ample hot water. In addition, the room had a large comfortable bed, wall mounted smart TV and ceiling fan. The shared kitchen was well maintained and kept clean. The hostel staff were all professional, courteous and English speaking. An optional breakfast is available for a nominal fee. The wifi reception was very good. All in all I had a very pleasant 2 week stay in this hostel and would definitely stay here again when visiting Lima.

The area is ok, but the installation is in poor condition, no towels, no hand soap, no shampoo, no bath soap. The person from the second shift with the last name Miranda is rude. We checked out by 11:am and my son forgot his headphones We got back after two hours and asked about the items. Then he stood up from his desktop in a challenging way when I said that those items had to appear, I asked if he could ask the housekeeper, and he told me that his personnel are very honest and they are not thieves. I respond that I never say they are thieves. Then he tries to intimidate the police. I told him I did not care because I knew how can defend myself and he could do it whenever he wanted A few minutes later we left the premises. The next day somebody from the hotel left a message saying that some client found the item on the other side of the desk counter. We went and picked up the item that was raped with a plastic. For myself, this is a serious problem that do not have to repeat with other customers Thank you for your time.

We stayed in the private room with a private bathroom and it was bang for buck :) the tv is amazing - it even has Netflix! Wasn’t expecting a 42 inch Samsung tv. Great place to stay with a safe and convenient location, near kennedy park. Also siete sopas is just 30 seconds away so you know you’ll be well fed! Thanks also to the perfect staff !!!!!
