Liked: An awesome place with comfy beds, a bar, TV room and lots else on offer. Staff are friendly, bathrooms are good. A nice place to chill out. Not to mention it's just across from a beautiful lookout across the water! It seems like they've put a lot of thought into what travellers want out of a hostel.

Liked: This isn´t a bad hostel but in Lima there are 100 hostels so you are better of at one of them

Disliked: The travel center is Useless, couldnt even book me a bus ticket i had more help from a taxi driver booking a ticket during the easter weekend. Also caused 2 guys to miss a flight due to miss information... Also a girl lost her passport 3 hours before she was supposed to get on a plane only one staff member seemed to care...other items reported missing from storage...

Liked: Met some amazing people, some staff and some backpackers. Theres fooseball and pool. Good food at the restaurant. In a beautiful, tranquil neighbourhood which is not as commercial as Miraflores. I loved it. To be honest, the best thing was the people i met. Not far from the beach where you can surf either!
