Great find
It was great. Good price, friendly owners / staff. The bed is a touch on the firm side. The place was safe, clean, and accommodating, and 💯 worth the cost / convenience.

Hello Travis. Thank you for you comments. We are glad you had a nice and secured experience with us. We regret what you mentioned about the some streets close to the hostal during those days. Luckely, the problem with the streets' cleaning has been solved by the municipality. Best regards from Lima!

The hostel was close to the local Real Plaza and restaurants (20 mins walking distance). The worst was it's too close to a neighbor who liked karaoke sang songs loud until 2~3am in the morning and the beds were too old. Also it's not closed to Plaza de Armes (30 mins walking) but the posting's location said it's within 10 mins walking distance.

Hello Amanda. Thank you for your comments. However, please take note that Expedia´s system shows you the distance from the hostal to every touristic point of the city. Estimations are provided by this system, not by us. Thus, it is somehow unfair to blame it on us. Further, these estimations of walking distance are correct for the great mayority of people, as we are two blocks away from restaurants, and four blocks from real plaza and the begining of the historic center of Lima. Saludos from Lima!

Room is simple and not impressive. Everything for the price is good, especially in Lima. Very loud in the morning when school begins as well as during the night when there are loud parties, sometimes at the nearby church. All to be expected in Lima however. Not the best area but I didn’t feel unsafe.

Hello Maria, Thank you for your comments. We provide basic accomodations in a safe, clean and friendly atmosphere. We are located in the surroundings of the historical center of Lima. We haven been operating over 20 years and there has never been an incident with a tourist in the visinity of our hostal. We are located very close to major police buildings and official institutions as the Migration Office, thus it is a safe area. We would have like to know about your complaints about the city´s noise in order to help you by providing you a room at the back of the hostal. We were glad to receive you for three days. Saludos from Lima!

Buen día Jesús. Siempre agradecemos los comentarios de nuestros huéspedes, sin embargo, no podemos avalar comentarios que no corresponden a la realidad. Usted tenía el check in para el día 31/10. Sin embargo, llegó al hotel el 1/11 en la tarde diciendo que iba a viajar esa tarde y que necesitaba que le devuelvan el dinero del prepago de la reserva. Entonces, es falso que se le haya cobrado nuevamente y que por eso Usted haya decidido retirarse. Usted no tomó la habitación porque iba a viajar y se acercó al hotel a pedir una devolución del dinero. En ese sentido, se le explicó que debía contactarse con EXPEDIA para poder realizar cualquier gestión sobre la devolución del dinero del prepago realizado a esa empresa. Ese es el conducto normal, aún más cuando a la fecha no habíamos cobrado un solo dolar nosotros. Lamentablemente, Usted no tomó a bien la respuesta y se retiró. Luego de eso, Usted comenta que EXPEDIA no le ha respondido el correo enviado. En ese sentido, eso escapa a lo que nosotros como hostal podemos manejar, ni somos responsables del sistema de atención al cliente de EXPEDIA. Por eso, es bastante injusto que nos ponga la calificación 1/5, cuando Usted no tomó la habitación, nadie le cobró extra, y no somos responsables de la rapidez con la que Expedia contesta los correos electrónicos. Claramente, nos vemos afectados por una molestia que no hemos generado, por lo que le invitamos revaluar su calificación, ya que este debe justo y apropiado, basado en el servicio recibido y no con las molestias que tenga con otra empresa. Gracias y saludos desde Lima!

Freundlicher, aber schlichter Aufenthalt.
Die Zimmer sind eng und etwas zugig, einfach aber mit eigenem kleinen Bad und TV. Die Nachbarn hören lange sehr laut Musik. Die Herren sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück ist einfach aber gut, das Ei ist sehr lecker. Die Lage ist wohl nicht die Beste aber man ist schnell am Bus und kann für wenig Geld überall hinfahren.

旧市街の観光スポットアルマス広場へは歩いて20分ほど。ホテルの方は丁寧な対応でした。ホテルの近くに商店や安く食事ができるレストランもあります。フライドライスは2人前ぐらいあります。注文の際は少なめにしてもらう方がいいと思います。
