Reviews of Pirwa Backpackers Nazca

02 May 2012 Elsemieke would recommend this property

Liked: It's a good located hostal, a few blocks from the Playa de Armas. They picked me up at the bus station. De rooms are big, dorms have their private bathroom and refrigerator and a blower, which was neccesary because of the heat. We got towels and there was wifi. I had a really nice stay and the staff was really helpfull and interested.

Disliked: The man at the reception can be a bit pushy when it becomes on trips you might wanna do. Take your time to look around if you're not sure if you wanna do a trip. And go to travel agencies, you might get a better price there. The organisation is a bit messy sometimes. You are supposed to check out at 11.00am, but there was no one there and they don't really care. The staff, except for the guy doesn't speak english, that can be a problem when you don't speak spanish.

Liked: A really top hostel - certainly the best I stayed at in Peru, and one of the best I've stayed in in South America. A very helpful owners there who went to a lot of trouble to ensure the stay was pleasant. Great breakfast with the usual juice, hot drinks and bread and jam but enlivened with a sliced potato dish covered in melted cheese. I stopped in the 6 bed dorm (4 of which were bunk beds, 2 singles) which was very roomy and had plenty of space for table and chairs and had an immaculate private bathroom. All very clean and comfortable. I booked a flyover of the Nasca lines at the hostel and was driven to the airfield by the owner (along with a number of others) and was sheparded through the formalities by him. On the way back he stopped off at the Cruz de Sul offices so we could buy the onward bus tickets. On departure he also gave the three departing guests a lift to the bus station as well. Top place - highly recommeded!

Disliked: None at all.

Liked: Location is good, just a few minutes walk from town center. They served superb breakfast complete with some Peruvian dish. I could store my luggage in the hostel while I went sandboarding and even allowed us to take bath free of charge in the evening.

23 September 2010 Sarah would recommend this property

Liked: Nice big rooms, and a lovely garden with hammocks to lie in. Good wifi.

Disliked: It is NOISY - we were kept awake by late-arriving travellers and then awoken early in the morning by the cockerels opposite who start crowing at 5. Also the staff are a bit pushy about getting you to go on tours - you have to be firm to get them to stop!
