08 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The owner is extremly friendly and helpful! We stayed in another house around the corner, which was new, clean and really good value for money. However the rooms in the main building are a bit dark with a mouldy smell. So make sure you get one of the two rooms in the other building in Av. Colon!

13 July 2009 Shane would recommend this property

Liked: The best hostel I've stayed at.. hands down. It's clean, cheap, comes with free breakfast and wifi, and it's a small place so it's not full of 18 year old's running around and screaming their heads off - just really chilled guests that want to hangout. My girlfriend was sick when we arrived and QuiQue the manager went above and beyond to try and find a specialist for her. I'll definately be staying here when I come back to Lima..

Liked: Arrived to a replacement receptionist as the managers were away so we did not get a good service. very unprofessional, didnt know any prices, didn´t check our booking, couldn´t call us a taxi, didn´t get up for check-out so we just had to leave our keys and no breakfast at 8.30am even though it should start earlier. but big rooms and private bathroom (with bugs)

Liked: the owner is incredibly friendly. we arrived at 6.30am, our room wasn´t ready but he made us feel right at home, found us a bed to sleep in and a shower to use. not the cleanest or newest hostel in the world, but with such a good location and a homely atmosphere, you couldn´t help but recommend the blue house.

Liked: Quique is one of the friendliest, honest, most hospitable guys I´ve had the pleasure of meeting. My only complaint is that from here on in, I don´t think any other hostel will be able to live up to Blue House.

Daisuke Nishijima

16 January 2009 Daisuke would recommend this property

Liked: The location cannot be better. 5 min walk & you can see the great sunset (and a shopping center if you like shopping). But the greatest thing about this hostel is the owner, Quique and the vibe that has at the hostel. As a former backpacker, he has lots of information and goes WAY out of his way to help you out!! Quique is such a great character - tt is difficult to put into words, but once you meet Quique, you know what I mean. I would definately recommend this hostel to any backpacker!
