Liked: They arranged pick up and drop off at airport. Good for staying overnight near airport to catch a flight in the morning.

Disliked: You need to take your own toilet paper!

Liked: Andy is incredibly helpful and available to guests. His English is very good so I was able to communicate with him effectively in both English and Spanish. The driver was waiting the moment I arrived at the airport and there was a car waiting the next morning to take me back to the airport for my flight to Cusco. Breakfast was basic but filling and the rooms were basic as well, but comfortable. The floor we stayed on ran out of hot water but Andy was quick to offer us the use of the showers on the 3rd floor.

Liked: Staff is extremely friendly. Only complaint is that there is a lot of noise coming from the courtyard area...ie. dog barking all night and a rooster crowing quite early.

13 June 2010 Niall would recommend this property

Liked: An exceptionally good hostel. Felt more like a hotel actually and i think it's marketed this way. We stayed for a night as it was close to the airport and much much cheaper than other hotels/hostels and were delighted we did so. Andy at the front desk was exceptionally friendly, helpful and efficient and even ordered in food for us. The TV area is also particularly nice with a good selection of DVD's and games. Room (double) was spotless and very spacious compared to most hostels we've stayed in anywhere in the world. Highly recommended!

26 April 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The water was terrible - the first night, there was none and we had to wait 15 minutes for the tank to fill up. And then when we returned for another night, the hot water didn't really work, just a dribble... which was a bit annoying as we had been in the jungle for 3 nights and were really looking forward to a good shower! The taxi prices are a bit of a rip off. USD8 (22 soles) for a pick up is fine, as they come in and wait for you etc. But the same price to get dropped off at the airport seems crazy -it's only 7 mknutes down the road. the beds and breaky were great and the staff were lovelyfine for a short night hear the airport.

18 April 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The staff here are fantastic! THe main lady and the younger girl are more than happy to help you with anything. It is an airport hostel, only about 10 mins to the airport. The staff will organise pickup from airport, and if you go into the city, you can ring them and they will have somebody pick you up from the city. Had cooked eggs for breakfast which is not that common to get so I was really pleased. Cable TV in room, wireless, ensuite and quiet. It's also in a very secure courtyard. I really enjoyed it here

27 March 2010 Robert would recommend this property

Liked: Very close to the airport. Ideal for layover basics. Probably not a bad value for this location. Now thet we know about taxi fare in Peru, their rates were pretty high, but maybe the security was worth the cost.

Disliked: Robert left no negative feedback.

23 January 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel was clean and the staff was nothing but friendly, they helped us plan the rest of our tip. On the negative side it is in a really bad neighborhood. The girl at the desk advised us against leaving the property at all. It is in a gated courtyard so we did not feel threatened in the hotel but were essentially trapped. Again, the staff was great. It was like being a member of their family.

09 January 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The staff are fantastic. Andy, the guy who runs the place, is so helpful and does all he can to make sure you can get a safe taxi. It´s also only 10 minutes from the airport which is very convenient if you have an early morning flight like I did. The rooms are great, a good size and clean.

07 November 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This place was a perfectly adequate place to spend a night in Lima when we had to go back to the next morning. Their taxi service was safe and reliable, the room was clean, we had hot water for showering, and they offered breakfast and free internet access. They also gave us bottled water for drinking when we asked. If you're planning on actually exploring Lima there's no reason to stay here, but for a night's sleep between time at the Lima airport this was perfect for us. Not really charming and certainly not luxurious but we were totally happy with our stay.

21 September 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I agree with all previous comments-ask for the pickup service (you will never find on your own)-scary neighborhood, but building is in a gated/secure courtyard-clean, but very basic-owner is great, speaks english and provided bottled water-breakfast simple but good, fresh squeezed OJ, fresh bread-bring cash to pay for roomI was only there for 8 hours between flights. I highy recommend this for short stays (as you will not want to wander the neighborhood). Much better than paying the $100+ rates at the airport hotel

12 August 2009 Sarah would recommend this property

Liked: A well run and clean place to stay. They organised our airport connections perfectly even though I contacted them the morning we arrived. They helped with a trip to Downtown Lima and also with ordering food. Shame it is not closer to the main centre, however not far from the airport. Didnt actually see anyone whilst there, however the people were very friendly who worked there, and well worth the money. Thanks for making our time there so enjoyable.
