I had a great experience in The Point hostel. The hostel is clean, has friendly staff and above all there is a great atmosphere. I latterly felt home after 2 days. I stayed 6 days in end which was longer then I planned to. That had mostly to do with the great bar in the hostel and clubs where they... More

We didn't book this hostel ourselves - we had a credit through STA travel and they booked it for our one-night layover in Lima. I read reviews beforehand that had called it "The Party Hostel," and it definitely was. The staff was not very helpful. The beds were comfortable and there were lockers to lock your bags in. The bathrooms... More
