Reviews of Pay Purix Backpackers Hostel - Lima Airport

09 February 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I was met at the airport and was hailed a cab, which I paid for upon check out the next morning (along with the cab to take me back to the airport that morning). They made it very easy for me, even though it was late at night - and we were only about 5 - 10 minutes from the airport at most. VERY convenient and the staff were quite nice. The room was clean and for the money was excellent.

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Its really close to the airport so it serves it's purpose when you arrive late or need to leave really early. Free wifi and the free breakfast where great.

Disliked: It is located in a really bad area so really only useful if you need to be close to the airport. There is no shop nearby and it would definitely not be safe to walk around there.The noise is a major problem, the staff played blasting music until 1am and then started again screaming at eachother at 7am, really not ideal after a 22 hour flight. We found them really inconsiderate. None of the staff can speak very good english, some dont speak english at all.

Liked: Near Airport. That's why I chose it. Clean room. Hot water.

Disliked: The website say that the airport pick-up is $2.9. After I contact with them, the price is twice expensive. They say it's because the date is Dec.30th and 31st. They should note this part on the internet because some people like me chose this hostel due to the cheap pick-up price!! And there is a restaurant next to the hostel. The music is too loud.

05 September 2011 Francesca would recommend this property

Liked: The staff were really really nice and helpful and spoke excellent English. The hostel had really good amenities and was only about 3minutes from the airport so it was perfect for early or late flights. They even gave me a packed breakfast when I left at 3am!

Disliked: Its a great location for the airport but not a great location for anything else and the area felt pretty unsafe. When I arrived around 10pm I was standing on the doorstep for a few minutes with all my bags which was a bit unnerving.

25 July 2011

Liked: very close to airport, great for when flying in/out of Lima.

Disliked: in middle of nowhere, except airport - wouldn't be a good choice to stay if visiting Lima, only good for transit. Restaurant advertised but actually dial in food. Airport pick up/drop off is from OUTSIDE airport gates not from outside the door.

17 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: impeccably clean, staff could not have been nicer, very close to the airport

Disliked: nothing about the property, but having a place to walk and feel safe would be nice

09 June 2011 Margie would recommend this property

Liked: The location is close to the airport - convenient for a late night arrival to Lima and departure the next morning. The staff was also very friendly and it was nice to have breakfast included.

Disliked: The taxi pickup was helpful but too expensive; the driver and I walked with the luggage out of the airport to get the taxi and the hostel was only a 3-5 minute drive from the airport. The decor is one of the worst I've seen, with florescent green walls and low florescent lighting, but that said it was perfect for what I needed in the quick stay.

14 May 2011 Carlos would recommend this property

22 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Friendliest staff of anywhere we have stayed. Nice and comfortable rooms with good facilities. Our airport pick-up was running late but the staff were apologetic and provided compensation. Excellent place to stay if you are flying in or out of Lima.

Disliked: Nothing.

03 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Close to the airport

Disliked: Electric shower

27 February 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Close to the airport, simple but easy. Arranges early morning transfers to the airport and is the cheapest place to get an ensuite private room in the area. The room was comfortable, clean and had a hot shower at 5am.

Disliked: Advertises itself as a fun/party place, I couldn't see how this would be given that its not located close to town or an area good for going out and because most visitors stay only for one night (so everyone would be arriving late from the airport or getting up early the next day). Think I was the only person in this hostel the night I stayed, thought the place was closed up because all the shutters were down when I arrived.

21 January 2011 Christopher would recommend this property

Liked: It was very close to the airport but in a quiet area too. It was extremely clean. And we were able to arrange through the hostel our lifts to and from the airport. We were very pleased with it all.

Disliked: nothing

10 January 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Excellent place. All you need to have: clean, friendly, honest, english speaking, free wi-fi, in a walk to airport distance, joy to do business with and stay! Located near Airport in very industrial area so do not expect miracles, next to hostel at the corner great native food for $0.50 (1.5 Sol), you have to do it to appreciate where you came from. Good luck, and support Pay Purix! I'm El-Cheepo traveled >130 countries so, it is a perl of Lima. The host is a guy who does more than average, you will feel like home, and no stress before flying out of Lima.

Disliked: Nothing. Near Airport is lust bunch of drab factories and dust, but inside is all great.

18 November 2010 Tamara would recommend this property

Liked: The rooms were extremely clean and comfortable. The room's were quiet. You are able to order dinner from the hostel when you arrive in from the airport. The bathroom was emmaculate and the shower was delightful. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It was really good for a stop over because the taxi pickup was really efficient and well organised.

Disliked: Whilst it was good to get food for dinner the food was not very good. The girl working in the bar didn't seem to know much about the drinks or the price.

05 November 2010 Kelley would recommend this property

Liked: There were a lot of great things to do at the hostel and we were able to meet other travelers the one night we stayed. We needed to be near the airport for an early flight the next morning, but we were able to hang out, have a few beers, and talk with others. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the multiple activities and chill vibe Very secure and clean, with friendly and helpful staff.

Disliked: The hostel is very close to the airport, making it easy to get to and from for early/late flights, but it's about a 30 minute drive from the historic center.
