Reviews of Lima House Hostel

This hostel is close enough to the historic center of Lima, not so far away from museums, close to multiple restaurants, and 1/5 of a mile from a mall with a Plaza Vea grocery store where you can buy bottled water and supplies, and more restaurants. I was able to use the stove in the kitchen at least once to prepare lentils, although it is a gas stove that you have to light with a match after you turn the knob.

I stayed here for 4 nights, Tuesday night through Friday nights. Unfortunately, I could hear loud music, from an adjacent venue, in my room, until 10 or 11pm on my first 3 nights. On my 4th night, a Friday night, the problem was even worse. The loud music lasted until 2am. I was not able to sleep. I had to wake up at 2:50pm to catch my taxi to the airport. If I had known about the music, I would not have stayed here.

Very nice place. Clean and empty. I was the only person in 6 beds room.

Location

Traffic in front of hostel

Nice hostel, noisy location. Small bathroom cubicles. Mainly Peruvian clientele. Nearby shopping centre with food mall - plenty of junk food if you want 😋

There's A bar right underneath that makes a lot of noise till 3 am in the morning, hostel is in the main avenue and you can hear all the traffic, bathroom was always dirty, staff is very rude and unwelcoming . Room is windowless and extremely hot, they got angry when I requested a fan. Breakfast very poor. Stressful.

Location is nice, close to the historic center, and a bus station is nearby. There is also a mall near the hotel with a lot of shops and restaurants. The place is not crowded, we were 2 in a 4-bed dorm. Shower is hot and clean

Breakfast is really the strict minimum, there is a lot of noise from the street

Good location. You can request a late checkout, just add half of the price. Near the shopping mall and supermarket.

I arrived late at night, but the staff welcomed me with a smile. Breakfast was self-service and the selection was excellent. The location is also great for exploring Lima. I felt safe around the hotel unless it was late at night.

Nothing

Firstly, my request for early check in & bottom bed were granted. Milagros was accommodating & showed me around in the clean hostel. The 4 bunks( 8bed) has electric fan, individual locker which keys were provided. Comfortable bed. Very respectable dorm mates. The shower rooms & toilets are split between men’s & ladies which are provided with bottles of shampoo & body wash. Hot water is available in the shower as well for free hot drinks. Basic breakfast is complimentary. Across the road behind Sheraton Hotel are restaurants, shopping malls & other amenities. High recommended for travelers on budget.

Nothing

Convenient central one night stay

Overpriced for what it is

The location is great as it is very close to the city centre. The rooms are ok with small lockers. The kitchen is quite nicely equipped. Breakfast was ok.

The first receptionist was great - she introduced me to the hostel and the city itself. Her English was really good. However, the other receptionist's English was quite poor so when I needed something it was hard to ask about it. I would not go for the private rooms here as they are nothing extra. Too noisy because of the nearby bars.

Cleanness

A GUEST THAT SHARED THE ROOM WITH ME ROBBED ME OF 2 OF MY CREDIT CARDS, BREAKING THE LOCKER. WHEN THE CRIMINAL CHECKED IN HE SUBMITTED A FAKE ID BUT THE HOSTEL DID NOT CHECK IT WELL THEY LET HIM CHECK IN. ( After the incident, they realized it was fake…)

Loved the breakfast and ease with which everything was handled
