This hostel has a great location, friendly staff, and just a generally good vibe. I stayed there for 8 days and was very satisfied. Located in Miraflores, the nicest part of Lima, it is right in between Kennedy Park and the ocean. You can easily walk to anywhere in Miraflores, and the staff are very helpful with travel plans.

The staff was helpful, the accommodations were satisfactory and this is a great place if you're on a budget. The showers were a little grungy but the roof top patio more than made up for it. Overall I've seen a lot worse places to stay in.

This hostel is located in Miraflores (the best place to stay in Lima in my opinion). It is on the second stroy so you get a view of apartments and high-rises from above. It has a very relaxed, casual vibe and lots of outdoor seating and hanging out space. The rooms are nice and very safe and hosts are helpful.... More

Dragonfly is a lovely hostel with great staff and a good atmosphere. Julian, the manager, was extremely helpful during our short stay. The beds were comfortable and very clean. The location is ideal and within walking distance to tons of restaurants. We did the Palamino Island trip (organise through the hostel) and swam with sea lions-can recommend this enough! Rooftop...

Dragonfly was a fantastic place to stay in Lima. It is located a few blocks from the cliff side walkway, which is one of the most spectacular walks along the ocean and has a great running/biking track too. The hostel is also a 5 minute walk from Parque Kennedy, which is a great place to go out at night (try... More
