90%Backpackers Family House

Backpackers Family House was amazing! The staff especially. I felt like I was hanging out with friends I had known for a long time, not just one week. I liked it so much, I will be going back to visit the staff while I am living in Lima. They helped me with everything I needed, buses,...

Funky guest house. You can make many friends here. The staff can speak good English and have much information for backpacking in Peru.

Highly recommended! Everyone was lots of fun, yet it was quiet enough to sleep. Hot water. Staff was just like family. A bit of a distance from Lima Center, but cabs & buses are easy to use.

When I got sick, needed travel advice, ticket assistance, wanted another side of Lima, needed to talk, they were there in all the ways possible. These guys make sure you consider them friends when you leave. I do. Do yourself a favor and book here.close

Its hard to rate this place as they`d just moved location but we saw many signs of how this is going to be a great hostel. The staff (Pedro and Christian) were lovely. Christian was going to the same shopping centre as us one day and offered us a lift in his car, just an example of how helpful...

The best hostel in Lima! Pedro and Christian and Isabel are the nicest, most helpful people.

Pedro and Christian and Isabel are the nicest, most helpful people. They gave us maps of the area, told us some typical Peruvian food to eat, gave us good restuarants to go to, told us what sites to hit up, and always answered any questions we had about Lima or Peru in general. And Pedro makes the best pisco sours for the hostel guests! The house is super cute and has a lot of character. It's always clean, the bathrooms are impecible, and the beds are amazingly confortable. There is a full kitchen in which to cook and the best grocery store (Vivanda) is just a few blocks away. From the rooftop patio you can even see the Pacific Ocean and the amazingly gorgrous coastline. The shore is just two blocks from the hostel, and it's great to walk along with pretty parks, a lighthouse and Larco Mar not tooo far down. We have stayed with Pedro and Christian three times now, and I would never think about staying anywhere else in Lima.close

Great hostel. Fantastic staff who helped us organise where to eat, go out and tourvisit, even made us pisco sours! It should be noted that it can be a little noisy if people are watching tv in common area at night, so make sure you are one of them! Would recommend.
