Puriwasi Hostels Reviews

Puriwasi Hostels is a large, social, and centrally located hostel in the Milaflores district of Lima. Split over a couple of floors, it has a warm and friendly atmosphere with decent amenities. The rooftop bar is a definite selling point and the social centre of the hostel.

The Location

Located close to Milaflores's main plaza, the hostel is close to a lot of fashionable shops, bars, and clubs and is within a walkable distance from the popular Barranco neighbourhood. There is a bus station located within a five-minute walk from the hostel as well. It is a taxi ride away from most of the main bus terminals and the airport.

Rooms and Bathrooms

Rooms are spacious and have a lockable storage box located underneath the beds, which has space for a large backpack. This storage method can be inconvenient when wanting to access your belongings, and the boxes closest to the doors in some rooms can block access if being used. There are modern-looking bunk beds in the rooms, which all have individual power sockets for use and are comfortable. Some rooms are located next to the street, so you do get some noise.

The bathrooms on each floor are clean and spacious, but the water pressure is not that strong and the temperature does take a while to get warm.

Common Spaces

The reception area has some seating and a computer for use, but it does get crowded at certain times of day. There is a common space with bean bags, books, and a TV located on a central floor. The reception is loaded with leaflets and information on a blackboard about the day's activities and events. There are murals painted on a lot of the walls, which look great.

The kitchen space is very small and tucked away to the side of the bar and includes basic kitchen equipment.

The rooftop bar has a lot of seating space covered and uncovered. The views from the top are nice and there is a buzzing social atmosphere there in the evening for food and drinks. The hostel will usually have a theme or activity in place for each night, but doesn't have a massive party vibe. The bar is also where the free breakfast is served in the mornings.

Summary

Puriwasi is a friendly and modern hostel with clean and open dormitory rooms and excellent common spaces. The atmosphere is energetic, but it is not a party hostel. The location is excellent and the hostel provides a lot of information for your trip to Lima and is a good base from which to explore.
