Sehr netter Gastgeber. Wir durften früher ins Haus und am Tag der Abreise auf unseren Nachtbus warten.
Das Wasser in der Dusche oben nur leicht warm und nicht heiß, was an kalten Tagen sehr schade war.
Man muss Trinkwasser kaufen oder Leitungswasser abkochen

The owner is nice, hostel is cheap and located close to plaza de armas
Shower is sometimes cold. That was not great. This is a cheap hostel so you can't complain too much but a hot shower is a necessity, I think.
9.0
Very nice people and a very comfortable bed, also the rooftop with kitchen is nice, it has all equipment. Also I used a bike of the hostel. all this comes at a very good price
Sad that the owner had to leave soon after my arrival. He seemed like a very nice person. Also I think that a sign at the door and a doorbell would be nice, I spent quite long knocking on the door before someone opened

The owner was very helpful and friendly. The location was safe and only 4 blocks from the plaza. The terrace had a nice area with a group kitchen, a place to wash and dry clothes, and a lounge area.
None of the rooms seem to have much privacy. The bathrooms weren't clean.
8.0
It's a hostel that attracts very interesting people. The environment that was created there by volunteers and guests was just amazing
The owner is a bit pushy, he doesn't really see limits of other peoples. For example when you go out with him it's all about drinking games and he gets annoyed if you don't want to play.
In the night we went out at one point I needed air so I went out of the disco, then I just saw him coming out of the club, throwing my jacket on the floor, take a taxi and leave me there
8.0
Extremely nice staff which helped us a lot for information;
We arrived in the night at 3PM and they offered us a little (but cold) room to rest;
Kitchen was good equipped;
Good location (near to Plaza);
Very clean hostel;
Thick and warm blankets
The new hostel location is in progress but I still mention some points which might be fixed in future:
- meeting area at the balcony is pretty windy and cold when it's getting night
- 1 bath for several people (has another toilet in progress)
- it is very hard to get the perfect shower temperature (too cold or to hot)

The stuff is very friendly and the location is pretty good. You can easly walk from the hostal to the center and the surounding buildings carry the colonial vibe. I enjoyed my stay in this hostal. The hostal is super affordable and yet it fitted all my needs
9.0
The room size was a lot bigger than expected, we could basically work out together at the same time (there was so much space!). The communication with the host was smooth and he helped us store our luggage as well :)
It seemed like the hostel was moving locations at the time of our stay and we were informed about it via a message but there was no info about it in the Booking description at the time so that's something that could have been better :) I've seen that info in some of the reviews before booking the place so I wasn't taken by surprised but if someone depended on the Booking location, it might have been problematic.

I was the only one person staying at the hostel, excluding one staff member. I didn’t receive a key to the room, only to the main door of the property. My locker was broken and I had no place to leave my belongings. When I went to take a shower I found 200 soles missing from my wallet. The only person who could do that was the employee. The owner of the property was not helpful with the case as he said it has never happened before. I feel cheated and disappointed. I don’t recommend this hostel unless you want to be robbed.

Nothing to complain for this price.
9.0
It is like being at home. You are in a house with a dining room, a living room and a kitchen.
There is 1 small light and 1 plug for each bed.
Quite close to the city centre (15-20 minute walk).
Very nice owners. They don't live in the house but if you need something or have a question, you can contact them via WhatsApp.
A bit difficult to have hot water all the time (hot then cold)... You have to play with the buttons of the electric water heater.
7.0
Nice, quite location, chilled vibe with a nice space to socialise. We arrived on a night bus very early in the morning and were allowed in to the room straight away to rest.
It seemed a little chaotic, but this was probably due to the other guests there at the time rather than the way the palce was run.
9.0
There is a decent kitchen to cook and the rooms are quite comfortable. Good common area too. Excellent location and it's peaceful at night and early in the morning. I had a great time here and got on so well with the volunteers.
It's a small house and there is little privacy, although everybody is friendly.
