Sorta close to the airport but a bit sketchy
We only spent one night here - an extended layover before flying on from Lima to Cusco. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy - our cab driver from the airport didn’t think we were making a good decision to go there. But the hostel itself was clean and comfortable and the staff helpful and welcoming. We slept through breakfast but the outdoor courtyard looked very nice.

Friendly helpful staff offering to organise taxi from and to the airport, order meal delivery service, and change $ to local currency for convenience. I’m highly recommending

Nice little place in the blue collar burbs.
Nice little hotel. The area was a little rough and in a more industrial are of the hamlet. The main tourist areas are some distance from the hotel but the bus system is great and I did discover a strip of restaurants and shops just east of the location. There were many inexpensive restaurants between the garages and building supply shops to the west. Certainly an area to be aware of your surroundings but most of the locals were friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was rather no frills but that should be obvious at the price. The main staff did not speak any English but there was one gentleman whom they would call on who was extremely helpful, "thank you Victor." I definitely enjoyed my stay.

Didn't Bother Staying
The taxi driver drove me and my friend who had just arrived at the airport, and first I thought the area was a little sketchy but gave it the benefit of the doubt because most neighborhoods close to airports aren't the best. Then we get there, and there are no lights on and nothing to indicate it's a hostel. My friend starts walking to the door and before she gets to it, a guy opens the door and asks if we're staying there. The taxi driver then pulled me aside and said, "are you sure you want to stay here?" We said no, and he drove us about 5 minutes further to a much more comforting hostel.

Not a good stay at all
The room was really small, and for some reason the bed made us so itchy that we couldn't sleep for a long time. After a few hours of sleep some women from the hostel started talking so loud in the early morning that we had to wake up. They also gave us slightly ripped bills that nobody would accept, and we had to argue with them for 10 minutes to change the bills.

We stayed here because it was inexpensive and close to the airport. The room was very small and we had to put our baggage on the floor, because there was nowhere else to put it. The toilet did not have a seat, and there was some mold in the shower. It is not a place that you want to spend more than one night.

Basic, no frills accommodation
We needed a cheap place, near the airport, to spend the night before an early morning flight, and Hostal Las Fresas fit the bill. For the $45, I wasn't expecting anything more, but it's very basic. We arrived late on a Sunday evening and there were no places to get dinner from within walking distance, the person on duty spoke no English, the computer /credit card machine was broken so we had to pay in cash, our room was on the 3rd floor with no elevator, etc. But, the room was exactly like the picture, it was really inexpensive, and it was 5 minutes from the airport (although it took 15 minutes to return during traffic the next morning). The breakfast included fresh made scrambled eggs, which was a nice touch. We arranged roundtrip taxi (to/from airport) via the Hostal, and the airport to hostal ride was fine, but in the morning they arrived 15 minutes later than requested which was a little stressful with a flight to catch

Relatively nice hostel very close to the airport.
Great experience, Frank and Paulino were both amazing to us. They helped us with anything we needed, and showed us around the area. They also had a taxi who they frequently used and was very nice. The breakfast was pretty simple, an egg and some bread, and the rooms were pretty basic, but overall very good.

Convenient to airport but in a bad area
Since our plane got in very late at night we were thankful to have this hostel close by. We don't recommend paying for an airport pickup because the driver did not leave to get us until we found a pay phone and called the hostel (defeating the purpose of a pre-arranged pickup). The staff was friendly and helpful and the breakfast was lovely. We enjoyed it in an outdoor courtyard. The room did not feel secure, as it had sliding windows. Also, the pillows were bumpy. On the other hand, the room was clean and included a towel. The hostel is located in an area close to the airport in an infamous Lima slum. Stay here if you want to be close, but don't tell your mother, and come and go by taxi.

Close to Airport
I booked this hostel twice because it was near the airport and they provided a car service. I was not happy with the front desk not taking my money because it had a tiny tear and some water damage (which I did not cause it was given to me that way). This is a common practice through Peru but still it is not reasonable when it is the end of your trip and your last $50 soles are being declined for not being pretty. Noise travels and echos very loudly. If you are sensitive to noise I would not recommend. It is very hard to locate so I would recommend using their car service. The driver was very friendly and he waited for me when my flight was delayed. He uses his personal car which is a very nice vehicle.

They were very responsible in sending the pick-up taxi, friendly staff. The only thing is that I chose a room with private bathroom and they charged an extra fee for that.

Great for late arrivals and early departures
We got to Las Fresas at 2am and the guy was there to let us in, he was even nice at such an ungodly hour. It's a tiny room, right next to the airport, but there was hot water. There was also a neat little courtyard where we had tea in the morning. There are some quirks - like our room window was into the hallway, but at that point I was just happy to have a bed.

Nice, clean hostel - ugly location
We had about 4 hrs before our next flight and wanted a clean, cheap place to crash and shower before our next flight. I had read previous reviews about this place being perfect for that and it is. The rooms are clean and well kept, the shower is small (any really tall people may have to crouch down - I'm 5'6" and was fine), but has hot water and again is clean. I wish I would have booked the taxi through them b/c outside the airport we were being charged 45-60 soles, while they quoted 30. The one negative is the location. We arrived around midnight and I started to get really worried when I saw the neighborhood. Once you get to the hostel, everything is fine, but you need to be prepared to stay in during your stay until you return to the airport. Overall I would recommend to anyone in this situation, but not to stay as your main hostel in Lima.

Nice hostel--close to the airport!
Stayed here for an afternoon to sleep and rest before our redeye out of Lima close to midnight. Perfect set up! We booked right from the airport and checked in an hour later. Staff very, very accommodating and very gracious and friendly. Had room ready for us and let us check in early. They arranged for a taxi cab to take us to the airport that evening and even included it in the cost of the stay. Great set up. Comfortable room--we only stayed for an afternoon but it was perfect for what we needed!

Good hostel, for quick trip and good price!
Overall, I was satisfied with this hostel. It was exactly what I needed and expected but the room was even better. I paid for the room with my private bathroom and still got a good deal, totally worth it. I only needed it for a couple of hours and it did its job. Breakfast was simple but made fresh right when I came down. Staff was nice as well. I paid for the taxi service provided by the hostel. The only bad thing was the taxi was not there when I got in at 1am, so it was kind of frustrating having to wait and ask to use someone's cell phone to call. Needless to say he showed up and took me to my place in minutes. If you have a short stay and on a budget this is the place to go! If you want a 3 or 5 star hotel, don't look at hostels. You get what you pay for and this was just right!!

No hot water, unreliable
We used this location for an overnight stay since we arrived very late at the airport and had another flight the next day. I just wanted somewhere cheap and convenient. I typically would have looked around for a place once we got there but I didn't want to chance it since it was so late. I was offered transportation for a fee and I told them all of our information. When we arrived we walked around in circles several times and no one was there with my name. We finally decided to take one of the taxis that were available. When we got to the hotel they were angry that we used I different taxi. I explained that their transportation was not there. They argued with me which I thought was very rude. I told them we didn't want their transportation in the morning since it wasn't reliable. All we wanted was to sleep and take a shower in the morning. There was no hot water in the morning. We had to wake up the owner who went to fiddle with something. They apparently were out of gas so tough luck. I am not a picky traveler but this was such a bad experience. A bed and hot water are not that much to ask for since it was advertised.

Close to the airport
Only stayed here because it's close to the airport. Nothing else to offer. Location is bad otherwise. If you have a super early flight, this is a better option than waiting at the airport. For approx US$20 you can have a hot shower, internet and a place to rest while you wait for your flight. They help you get a taxi to the airport...
