“The rooms were spacious and felt brand new, the common areas were inviting, and we barely noticed any street noise.”

“The staff were exceptionally helpful. It was interesting to see how young backpackers travel now—everyone had a computer, and the Wi-Fi struggled when they were all online, especially in the evenings. Mornings and late nights were better. But the youthful energy reminded me of our own traveling days.”

8.2Verified guest

“The view from the room was amazing and the staff were incredibly kind. Easily one of the best hostels I've stayed at in South America.”

8.2Verified guest

“Service was excellent and always available. They helped wake us up and arranged a taxi to the airport, and they spoke English well. It's not fancy, but it was exactly what we needed.”

8.2Verified guest

“I had a private room that was clean. The Wi-Fi in the room was a bit slow, but the lounge area worked fine. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was very convenient. I'd definitely stay here again when back in Miraflores.”
