Good Service. I suggest though the hostel not use a gate to lock out and in their customers. It's a fire hazard.

one little complaint is that we were sent a different address then the one we were given over the internet... so in the middle of the night we had to wander between hostels because you've got more then one Flying Dog... but beside that it was a great hostel!!

I would not stay here again. Lots of mess-ups with booking and staff unhelpful at resolving. Had only one minute of hot water one morning. Reception told me I was not using shower correctly, but next morning, same problem. Smoking allowed throughout. Kitchen fine, but no contents,1 mug, 2... more I would not stay here again.

Door buzzer heard throughout at all hours. Not nice!close

The staff is friendly, helpful, and speak English fluently. Free internet is nice, but very popular. The wandering cat is friendly enough, but you may want to consider staying elsewhere if you're allergic. Free breakfast is decent. Overall, I'd certainly recommend them, especially for the price.

Nice modern, clean hostel. Although they dont tell you that there are 3 flying dog hostels in the same area so when you arrive at 3am, its a bit of a nightmare. The rooms are clean and good but really loud (from the outside street, car alarms every 5 mins!). But good location.

With only a single push button lock on the door it is easily defeated - Better locs would help me feel safer. The roof was patched and leaked and when the quilt got wet from rain, we were offered a hair dyer to dry it out. Only by pointing out this was unacceptable did a spare blanket arrive.... more With only a single push button lock on the door it is easily defeated - Better locs would help me feel safer. The roof was patched and leaked and when the quilt got wet from rain, we were offered a hair dyer to dry it out. Only by pointing out this was unacceptable did a spare blanket arrive. Our wake up call never came!!!! Luckily we had a spare method availible to us. Not much of a cleaning job in the bathroom, and the funky smell in our room was tangible!close

When we arrived they hadn't received our booking and there was no room left in the Hostal for us, but they gave us a room at one of their other slightly more expensive hostals for the same price. Great location surrounded by heaps of restaurants. Staff speak really good English. Would...

OK place.Had a good time and staff were really friendly. Didn't have any problems ourselves, but they did start spraying for bed bugs in some of the rooms while we were there. But, had a really lovely time here.

For the girls, the bathroom was very small, had only two showers, no privacy whatsoever and no place where to put your stuff (clothes, towels, etc.). The stuff was a little odd but in general friendly and helpful. Their pick up service to and from the airport worked great and it's highly recommended. I wouldn't go back but I got to meet some really cool people.close

Central hostel in the heart of mira flores in Lima. Friendly staff and a helpful airport shuttle for $16. Rooms are basic, but there is a nice pool table and fussball table. and a good atmoshpere.
