Chimbote is neither the prettiest nor most exciting city in Peru, but this is a nice haven to spend it in while passing through. Very nice owner runs a modern small hostel that is clean and modern and has good wifi. Some shops and restaurants and a gym nearby.

If you stay on the top floor (only one room there) the narrow steep spiral staircase requires caution.

lovely stay, amazing host who was very hospitable and made us feel at home
