Not realy a nice hostel. It's far away from the centre of Miraflores. Close to the beach, but it's not a nice beach. With check-out there was none, so we just left the key at the desk. Weird place.

staff would be over "excellent". Grimmy is an excellent woman. As a former banker, she spoke perfect English, and was a delight to interact with.

Nice area to stay in, close to shops etc and easy to get around in. Staff very helpful. double room is actually a twin room, in peru a room with double bed is a 'matrimonial' so if youre fussy you should check. we just pushed them together and it was fine!

I booked in Sols and even though I had my booking form quoting the amount left to pay in Sols, she insisted that I pay in dollars and overcharged us(by a lot!) I would not recommend this place at all!

We were not very impressed by the Inka Lounge. We were in the second, I think smaller building, and our double/ensuite room was a converted garage. It was ok for just two nights, and, to be fair, the price is v good.

Una vez hecho el 10 por ciento del pago por hostelworld, nos anularon la reserva, alegando que tenian un grupo grande, sin ofrecer otra solucion. Aunque nos devolvieron el importe, la accion no fue correcta.

This hostel is split into two separate buildings a block apart so depends which one you stay in but... was very noisy (traffic was diverted down the street as a nearby road was closed off) and the downstairs room is right next to the common area so you get the noise there too. Had cable TV and...

Unfortunately, our experience was not good. We were given a twin instead of a double, with borken windows, a cold shower, wafer-thin walls and were woken up both nights by the staff member next door, who thought nothing of laughing and chatting away at 3am... even after we´d banged the wall.... more Unfortunately, our experience was not good.

Pity we didn´t meet the owner until we were leaving, because she seemed very nice and would probbaly have made a big difference to our experience. Our worst experience in a hostel in 3 months of travelling.close

The great staff made this place. Location was perfect for us in a quiet street just a couple of blocks from the ocean. A nice place to chill out but near enough to Miraflores nightlife if you want to party. Good clean rooms with comfy mattresses. Only downside is that they haven't made anything... more The great staff made this place. Location was perfect for us in a quiet street just a couple of blocks from the ocean.
