Pros -
-location, location, location, for exploring central Lima this is great, only one block from the Plaza de Armas, Cathedral de Lima, Governors Palace, museums, restaurants, etc.
- staff spoke English and was extremely helpful
- cool view from the rooftop patio
- family room was spacious and comfortable
Cons -
- rooms overlooking the lobby are loud, and some have shared bathrooms
- there was some sketchy activity going on around the hostel
- far away from Miraflores and typical tourist areas
- the towels and toilet paper were low quality
Overall a great low cost option if you want to stay in central Lima. We moved from a hotel in Miraflores that was twice as expensive and much preferred this hostel and location. It isn't fancy but great for the price and location.
