Only drawback was there was little opportunity for interaction with other hostel dwellers.In that respect it was more like a good class hotel

Great place - good location - door locks could have been a bit more secure - but apart from that spot on. Would defo recommend.

En este hostal me he sentido como en casa. El personal es lo mejor. Volveré a Lima, y me alojaré en este hostal seguro.

Second year in a row I stayed here-an excellent bargain! Close enough to center area in Mira Flores and to nearby ruins, far enough away to avoid the noise and activity there. Main staff person Carla is very profesional!

The hostel is nice, clean, less than 10 minutes walk to Miraflores roundabout and staff are good. However it's not great for socialising, compared to other hostels i've been in. Good for sleeping, not great for meeting people and partying. (Might have been completely different if it wasn't so...

They seem not to check reservations made with this service. The man at the reception did not excuse or something like that but after some discussion in spanish is helped me in finding a new hostel. I can't say anything else about inkalodge but at the end i stayed at inkawasi for one week. it is very nice and secure. No hostel but some kind of private guesthouse.close

Although being in the nicer area of Lima - Miraflores - Inka Lodge wasn't especially close to the main square. You did have to walk about 6 blocks to get to anything worthwhile. However the staff were very helpful with maps and things, and for one night before a transfer to Cusco it was all I...

Myself, husband & 2 boys (7 & 6 yrs old) stayed here for 4 days. It was really nice and modern, safe, the rooms and bathrooms were very clean. Its about a 10min walk down to the main central area of miraflores - but even walking at night we felt safe. Would recommend staying here.

It's a great option if you're looking for a clean, secure and friendly place to stay in Lima-Peru. Close from Miraflores center and about 5-6 blocks from Miraflores Beach. I recommend.

However this is far from the truth, we encountered 3 different reception attendants during our stay and neither one spoke a word of English. This made discussing checkouts and organising airport transfers almost impossible. The website also states that you can organise surf lessons through them and although we emailed them several times before our arrival they did not reply.close

Massively overrated! made a booking for private triple room but were told that the only room available was a single room at almost the same price. not just bad luck however - a couple arrived a while after us with the same problem and had to take a dorm. No apologies either. Breakfasts are nice... more Massively overrated! made a booking for private triple room but were told that the only room available was a single room at almost the same price. not just bad luck however - a couple arrived a while after us with the same problem and had to take a dorm. No apologies either. Breakfasts are nice though and showers have hot water. Unfortunately there was no water at all for over a day and no-one seemed to be fixing the problem - not nice when all toilets are shared and stuff can´t be flushedclose
