    The host Carlos was really nice and helpful. He helped us with a lot of Information and even brought us to the bus when we were leaving. We also loved the rooftop terrace to sit, talk and eat.

    Plenty of toilets and shower cubicles, but the cubicles were very small. But I got showered so can't be that much of a problem.

    In a really nice location, parks, food outlets, shopping centre and various bus company offices/terminals nearby, Staff are great and helpful in terms of advice.

    A minor drawback - on my floor the shower cabins were too narrow, and the water pressure was quite weak. However, on the first floor there are no problems with this.

    A place where I felt like home, great atmosphere. Really friendly staff, always ready to help. The owner Carlos speaks excellent English. Good space, there is a place to work with a laptop, there is a kitchen, very fast wifi, great location, great price (in May).

    It was okay but the small room and bathrooms could be a problem for a long stay

    Carlos is a great good guy!!! The mom too! They helped me a lot!! Cheapest in town! I could check in as soon it was possible, they keep the bags for you. Nice furnished kitchen available for everyone. Nice living room you feel like going back home! Nice little rooms but with comfortable beds, blankets, clean sheets and a locker to store your bag. Shared bathrooms not so comfy 😂 small showers and toilets. Nice rooftop with more showers and toilets! Nice view of the city and the stadium. Really close to some bus terminal and you can see the entrance of the park with the magic fountains! You can reach easily the city center walking or by public transport, at he opposite side too to reach Miraflores, the metro stop is less than 5 min walk!

    Carlos and his family are super nice and helpful. The location is very close to the bus stations, and walking distance to the historic center of Lima. There's a small kitchen to prepare food, and hot water in the showers. The single room upstairs opens to the terrace that has a nice view of the surroundings.

    Great place! Karlos is the best hostel operator I have ever met. friendly helpful nice he can give advice, he knows a lot of information about the city and about tourist places in Peru. the accommodation is clean, quiet and in an absolutely great location. walking distance to the center and a short distance from the accommodation there is a fast bus station. the Viktoria quarter, from where most buses to the whole country go, is also nearby. this is your best choice!
