Its a very short walk to the waterfront and there are shops and restaurants right outside the door. Great place to stay.close

Pretty decent place, the only thing is my girlfriend got bed bugs or something at this hostel. I on the other hand lucked out and didn't get bit at all, even though I was in the same bed.

The location was also great - easy walking distance to everything in Miraflores!close

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay here. Miraflores is a very safe and nice district of Lima. The owner Ricardo was very helpful and super nice. The hot water was 100% reliable, and the rooms are nice and clean. We especially liked it because it was quiet.

O Kusillius Hostel, apesar de ficar afastado do centro de Lima, fica num bairro muito agradavel e seguro. O staf é muito simpatico e prestavel. Para quem quer gastar pouco é uma boa escolha! tem um terraço magnifico.

Great place to stay! Right in the heart of miraflores and extremely clean. We stayed at quite a few hostels on our trip and this was by far the cleanest. Highly recommend.

Good hostel to stay at but its hard to always get information about what to see in the city if you dont speak much spanish because only one staff member speaks english and he isnt always there.

We developed a reputation for complaining about the noise, because the neighbours decided to get even with the party by drilling at 2am. Breakfast was a nice effort - a better continental than the usual but not enormous. Good location - safe and friendly staff.close

Better the second time around. More couples = quieter venue. Location really is good, with supermarket close by, and a well-appointed kitchen to self-cater. Only concern is usual Peruvian gamesmanship with respect to which room you reserved vs. which one they want you to take etc. Got us a cab at... more Better the second time around.

Great location in Mira Flores - right next to the coast with plenty of restaurants, cafes etc nearby and safe 24hrs. Very clean hostel, good size rooms, free internet and breakfast make this hostel a great place to stay.

The hostel is located at the center of Miraflores, one of the best neighbourhoods of Lima. It was safer than I had expected it to be, meaning that you can go on foot to the supermarket, by yourself, at almost midnight... Besides, there are many restaurants, pubs, streetmarkets near the hostel...... more The hostel is located at the center of Miraflores, one of the best neighbourhoods of Lima.

They made us move rooms once we got there and the ride to and from the airport is a bit of a rip off at 14USD but otherwise, everything was okay.

the rooftop deck was a huge plus and was a great place to have a drink or cigar before heading out. the rooms needed a paint job, but other than that, it wasn´t too bad. i would definitely recommend it because the location for the price was great.
