    This hostel, the house, is more than stunning! The old building and the way how its preserved might be something you won't see often - at least not as a hostel! Its insanly beautiful. What I also enjoyed a lot, was my dorm room, as the ceiling was very high, the beds build in a way, that they are absolutely stable and... they have curtains! My dorm room was also quite huge (though not all dorm rooms do have the same size!). The comon areas are beautiful, you can sit on the terrace, or inside, play table tennis, or visit the bar. The only thing I found was missing: A kitchen! But in this case, I do not mind, as the building is so outstanding. Also, you 'll find a lot of great places for food in the sourrounding of the hostel. Also the way to the beach (downstairs) is nice (it might take you roundabout 25 minutes, from the hostel, to the beach, the beautiful pacific).

    It was a bit noise at night, not from guests staying at the hostel but from the outside traffic.

    I like the location of the hostel. The rooms were comfortable and they have a private bathroom.

    Coworking space could probably do with some soundproofing but nothing major

    Excellent rooms and the facilities were great. Perfect location with everything right on your doorstep. Colonial style building was very nice, generally speaking.

    The staff is very helpful and friendly, they all can speak English. The travel agent stays all day at front desk helping people to book different tours around Lima. Location is very convenient, there are a lot of good restaurants nearby. The front desk Joel helped us to book a car to airport which is much cheaper than Uber and taxi, he even stayed with us waiting outside of hotel for the ride coming, thank you so much Joel! Highly recommended!

    I loved the historical building where the hostel is set. They just opened new bar as well and there were activities for the guests every day. Food tour with Chris at the local market was super fun and front desk guys, especially Joel, was really helpful during my stay :) would definitely come back.

    Would have been nice to have some air conditioning, but the room did have a fan.

    The hostel has a lot of character and it's in a great location in Barranco. My room was huge too and was a treat for my last 2 nights in Peru. Good bar area and free walking tours also leave from the hostel. I would definitely recommend. Trying to decide on a hostel in Lima felt like a minefield, but you won't be disappointed staying here. Lots of lovely streets to walk around and cafés etc. Ubers are really cheap to Miraflores too. Reception staff were very helpful.

    Everything. The building is just amazing, the beds are super comfy and the rooms are big, the staff are super friendly and it's clean. It's also extremely social and definitely do the food tour with Chris!!!

    The staff are amazing at this palace stay and are so hospitable. I had to move rooms and it was ok. I needed help and they did it with a smile. And there's no hidden bank charges, which was refreshing. And yes, it is a former palace...I recommend the walking tours too.

    Good place for meeting people, but would not recommend a private room.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Superior Double Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    I booked a private room but it did not have air-conditioning only had a fan. This was not clear in the booking and i thought it was strange given the share rooms have air-conditioning. It was also literally right next to the bar, even though I asked for a room further away. If you're a light sleeper, good luck!, because people are walking past late into the morning and it can get quite loud. Those in the share rooms had better experience as was quieter and had air-conditioning.

    Location of this hostel is perfect for those wanting to stay in the hipper area of Lima. I loved being able to walk to the nearby restaraunts and cafes and felt very safe as a solo woman. The hostel had a lot of social events which was great fun, met a great group of people which made the experience really memorable.
