Great host and amazing rooftop bar
Marco is the best hostel owner I've ever come across and I've stayed at about 45 different places. He even invited the guests to join him for dinner then we all hung out on his rooftop bar while he made us specialty Peruvian drinks. Most fun I had in my 2 weeks in Peru!

Cute hostel
It was a little hard to find since it isn't in the main tourist areas like miraflores or barranco, but once we settled in it was quite a lovely place. Marco is very helpful host and even got us some nice bread and ham for breakfast. He also makes the best pisco sours on his rooftop bar.

Excelente servicio y estancia, le faltaría el manejo de tarjetas de crédito para ser perfecto. Pero eso no es un impedimento para poder vivir la experiencia, vale la pena.

Hostal limpio, bien ubicado y cómodo. Recomendable
Excelente servicio y calidad. Buen ambiente. Buena limpieza y está ubicado en una buena zona. Muy recomendable. Gran atención de Marco, el propietario. Sin duda uno de los mejores hostales de Lima. Cuenta con una terraza con bar, para disfrutar las bebidas típicas del Perú.

Gemuetliches Hostel, wie daheim!
Ich habe mich in dem Hostel sofort wohlgefuehlt, es gibt nur zwei Zimmer und man fuehlt sich wie zu Hause. Der Gastgeber Marco nimmt sich viel Zeit, um Fragen zu beantworten und den Gaesten die peruanische Kultur naeherzubringen, beispielsweise hat er uns beigebracht, unseren eigenen Pisco Sour zu mixen :) Es gibt eine kleine Bar auf der Dachterasse, ein gemuetliches Wohnzimmer und die Kueche kann jederzeit genutzt werden. Barranco und Miraflores sind zu Fuss erreichbar, ins Zentrum kommt man mit dem Bus. Ich empfehl dieses Hostel auf jeden Fall weiter und wuerde es jederzeit wieder buchen!
