A hostal with added value. It is a small hostal with 8 beds, so you are treated as a person, not a number. The rooms are clean, the shower warm and the location relatively safe. You are well taken care of, including super cocktails, good breakfast, incredible wifi, maps, tips and Marco will often join to cool places (food and... More

I really loved my experience in this hostel. I felt like staying with friends in a good neighbourhood of Lima. Marco, the owner, helps you with everything you need and provides you with plenty of maps, guidebooks, touristic information and personal advices. Location is good, close to Miraflores and Barranco, though you will have to take taxis (short rides) and... More

The first time after I arrived in Lima from Europe and the second time before I had to take my flight back home. The location is a bit off the main tourist destinations, but public transport in Lima... More
