    This review is for the Alpes Lima Hostel as we were redirected there by the staff (Waikiki Hostel is shut down). In the Alpes Lima the vibe was great. The hostel has a rooftop with a bar, hot tub and games; It was fun hanging around there. Nice kitchen area. Great staff members paying attention to safety.

    We actually didnt stay at the Waikiki Hostel but were redirected to Alpes Lima Hostel which supposedly is the same owner. The Waikiki hostel was shut down with an official closure notice at the entry. We were not informed that the hostel was closed ahead of our arrival and the notice looked suspicious. When we called the hostel, we were advised to relocate to the Waikiki hostel which initially made us suspicious and nervous.

    Hello, we hope you are having a good day. Regarding your reservation, when you booked your private room, we sent you a WhatsApp message with the address of your reservation, which included all the information about the location, since the other building is undergoing renovations. We informed you about this on April 14. We hope you continue to enjoy your trip.

    Comfortable facilities, good to meet people if you are traveling alone

    I felt the springs of my bed, but I didn't give it much importance.

    I've tried almost every hostel in Lima, and Waikiki is the best. You can party every night if you want, but it super well isolated so you won't hear the party going in your dorm the staff is super nice and always willing to help. Fiorella (the bar girl) and Miguel (the manager) are the best!

    Staff are very helpful and welcoming, good location and shuttle to the airport, nice terrace area upstairs to chill

    No window in the dorm room, but not much they can do about this

    Decent place. Fresh rooms and nice beds.

    No towel included. Wifi does not work at all in the dorms, keep that in mind when you book.

    Hi Samuel! Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Keep in mind that you booked a shared dorm. Hostels don't include towels when you book a shared dormitory. ;) About the Wi-Fi, you never mentioned it to us to help you. All guests in the same room have Wi-Fi without any problems. Have a safe trip. ;)

    Welcoming, clean, bar upstairs wasn’t noisy, bed was comfortable and had its own bathroom. The staff were excellent. Could get breakfast for a good price at the hostel and coffee ! as I arrived at 6am, they assist to arrange a car prior and the driver was flexible; this is an excellent service for 24/7 and early morning flights. Staff are super helpful, rooms is other wise well appointed with all basic needs.bed lamps ports for phone chargers etc, and quiet times are respected for sleeping, and it’s clean and tidy.

    The aircon for the rest of the downstairs part of the building is located on the floor above and as it cools other rooms it tends to vibrate above the double room. This isn’t something that the staff can change; bring ear plugs as when it’s on it vibrates on its holdings and directly above the room.

    Hello Belinda! Thank you for sharing your time with us. It was a pleasure meeting you. What you're telling us comes from a shower that's already been fixed. We hope to see you soon. ;)

    If I'd be picky I'd say that beds with curtains would be nice

    We stayed in the private rooms and this was fantastic. Brilliant breakfast, amazing ambiance, very clean, everyone was very friendly. Oscar at the door with his dog was so wonderful, lively and kind. And Daniel was so charming, helpful and so amazing! Our stay was incredible and these 2 individuals made it really special for us. Alsp walking distance from everything! Perfect! Thank you Waikiki/Conto plata 145

    We booked private rooms and this was separate from Waikiki. Would have been helpful to have been given the new address in an email to go to before we arrived. Otherwise everything was excellent

    Overall, it was a good experience, but I wouldn’t stay there again. The dorms were clean, the shower is awesome and the area upstairs is very nice. The location was not perfect, cause despite being just a short walk of everything, it’s not right in the middle of Miraflores. The kitchen is fully equipped but the itens are old. The staff is nice, especially the girls at reception but at times it seems like they’re watching you and you don’t feel at home.

    Safe neighborhood. Easy to find. Showers hot and good pressure. Beds and rooms were reasonable with good linen. Nice sized rooms. Staff with good English generally and quite helpful.

    Get a lot of street noise through the day. Also, rooms near the reception area get to hear everything from reception, so the night staff should keep the noise and chat to low decibels at midnight and after

    staff were helpful, friendly, there was even a security guard on the door 24/7 which made us feel safe. we chose to stay in a private bedroom with private bathroom which is what we as a couple enjoy. we also like the rooftop bar and hot tub!

    when we booked the address advertised was not the address when we arrived, so we ended up staying in a slightly different area of town. which we were okay with, just make sure you are before you book.

    Property response:

    Hello Oliver! Thanks for your review! We have better options for our guests. We just relocated your booking because of an issue in your room. But we gave you the best option, and you liked it. Have a nice trip.
