Clean and Comfortable with Helpful Staff
The beds are good, the bathrooms have consistent hot water, and the breakfast is adequate (the kitchen is open if you wanted to cook for yourself). The surrounding neighbourhood is quite scenic and the owner Chris is laid back and a good source of info about the country.

We've been traveling through South America for a couple of months now and this is the best hostel we stayed in. The clifftop location is amazing; our room was bright, airy, and clean with a beautiful view; and Chris, the owner (a fellow Brit -- yay!), went out of his way to make us feel at home and help us plan our next move. We weren't overly excited about visiting Lima and only intended to stay for one night then get the hell out. We ending up staying for three days! For some reason, the guide books suggest backpackers should stay in Miraflores but, from our experience, Barranco is a far nicer area. Tons of nice bars and restaurants, without the hassle of being in the centre. Honestly can't recommend this place highly enough.

We had a great time at this hostel and were pleasantly surprised by the beauty and the spectacular views after a long flight. It's tucked into a quiet little corner of Barranco with a view to the ocean. Barranco is a cute area of Lima with a market, nice walks near the beach area, and discos. The owner was friendly and helpful, fluent in English, and helped us with questions we had about domestic flights, getting around, places to visit. The decor of the hostel is beautiful and bright, and it's very clean and safe. Easy access to internet (free!). Nice breakfast too. They were great at picking us up from the airport (on time, friendly), and taxi service seems to be connected with the hostel, so it's reliable. We liked it so much we decided to return on our way back!
