We (my, wife, and sister in law) were going to stay one night but it didn't happen because a friends possessions were stolen at the mall in Miraflores. We were able to walk to the mall in about 35 min and the beach is really close. What amazed me was that David was so concerned with what happened to our... More

Family backpackers is only a 5 minute walk from the beach in Miraflores. The beach has a nice view, but is not so good for sunbathing, swimming etc, though it is very good for surfers. The dorm rooms are fairly spacious. We stayed in the downstairs 7 bed ensuite, which was fine, but got a little loud in the morning... More

We stayed at the hostel for 4 nights and had an absolute jam. Pisco sour nights are a not to be missed affair- I think they happen on Thursday. The communal areas are great, clean and the bathrooms are well kept. There is a great atmosphere at the hostel and you really feel like you are welcome. However, the room... More

Overall this place is okay, but of our entire travel around Peru it was probably the worst place we stayed in. Bad points: breakfast was standard fair, hot water was seemingly in short supply and the bathroom was not particularly clean or well kept. Good points: the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Christian was extremely helpful. The... More

Thanks Family backpackers for everything. Lovely chilled out and comfortable place. Nothing was too much for family backpackers and was always told you´re one of the family´. Excellent travel advice, help organising buses and things to do around the city! Will stay there everytime I pass through Lima!! More

We waited for a good hour for our airport pickup, but it turned out to be just another taxi. He also refused to accept our quoted rate. We were foolishly already in the cab before we confirmed his price, so we ended up paying $20 USD (Green Taxi's posted rate is S/. 45 or $16 USD). Also, we got two... More

My boyfriend & I stayed here for 2 nights and loved it. Great location, great rooms, great staff and great coffee. We have nothing bad to say about the place and would definately recommend it. Some of the reviews here complain about noise, but it was very quiet and chilled out when we were there. Definately not a party hostel. More
