This is a bad place to stay. It doesn´t have anything of "Backpacker Hostel". It´s far from anything good in th city and for anyone looking to have fun this is not the place. Very unsafe

Its not as bad as the other reviewers said, but it is a bit run down and needs a lick of paint. Its cheap though, and only 15 soles to the airport. Area did not feel too safe at night

The rooms and bathroom at this hostel are very dirty and there are no kitchen facilities. When we decided against staying we were practically made to pay so it is not advised to stay here!

Parts of the building had no roof. Hostel is in a bad area and despite paying a deposit with Hosrelworld.com, we had to pay the full price!!

This hostel is located 5 Blocks from the surrounding :-( of the historical center of lima. We thought, it is closer. The walking distance to plaza de armas is about 25 minutes :-(

Hotel owner was Very nice, but he ate our food without permission!!! Very dodgy area, but the hostel is very safe. Booked a dorm room and got a double room, a bonus, but we did want to meet other travellers, didn't find them here.
