Their initiative for recycling as much as possible is great to see in a hostal but they´re missing a compost!!! We really enjoyed our time there as its very comfy, staff are extremely kind, breakfast is tasty but too small for us.

Nice hostel- decent facilitites, staff friendly and helpful but it was very quiet when I was there (just unlucky I guess) and the internet connection is very poor.

They have really great music and I really liked the atmosphere of the common room, even if I stayed only one night.

TV, dvd, lunging area, and the biggest collection of counterfeit DVDs we found in 2 months in South America - we were very happy! Location isn't too bad, it's just a couple of minutes away from the centre of Minaflores where everything is (food, shops, etc). Rooms cleaned every day, hot water 98%... more TV, dvd, lunging area, and the biggest collection of counterfeit DVDs we found in 2 months in South America - we were very happy!

This hostel is great. I had the best included breakfast since I arrived in Peru. The hostel has a lot of character and neat ideas in the decorating scheme. The only trouble was the lack of bathrooms and the communal showers. The staff were very helpful and friendly and having free internet...

They were helpful with getting me a bus to Huaraz and when I arrived back, they let me store my bag there for free until my flight at 5am while I partied.

Great hostel with very friendly staff. They were more than happy to help and nothing seemed to be too much. Great location in a quiet street just off the main drag right near Kennedy Park. I would recommend it to anyone.

Good location with comfortable beds and easy to get everywhere. Food and supermarkets close by. Rooms could be a little larger but still adequate and people tend to lock the communal bathroom door. Still good and I would stay again.

In a brilliant location, with an eco-friendly theme. The name a play on the word ´recylce´ (red psycho).

Staff are friendly and you may find yourself going out for a drink, bite or nightclub with them! Has good beds, very good social areas. Breakfast could be better, although it is individually prepared. My dorm was a bit tight on space (it could have done with a bed or 2 less). There are no individual lockers, but the staff will lock away valuables. All in all a very good hostel.close
