The location which had a rooftop. A homely atmosphere. Clean room and good shower. And ofcourse the host himself who went an extra mile to make sure that the stay there was great. Oh and the arcade gaming box, just awesome.

There was just the issue of going through 4 sets of doors to get inside the hostel, but it wasn't anything major, just for security I'm sure.

Marco was a fabulous host who made me feel at home from the first second. You quickly realise that he loves traveling himself by the countless little tweaks like descriptions on every door for which Lex to use. The Hostel is just 4 beds at the moment and has a family atmosphere. Whilst not in the direct center of typical tourist areas it is still easy to reach those via foot, uber or the metrobus. The breakfast was perfect for preparing yourself for a long day exploring Lima (with a lot of recommendations from Marco). I can highly recommend staying here!

Marco is a nice host who recommend us a lot of things and give us many advices

Nice and clean rooms, little kitchen to use and a beautiful rooftop bar. Very good breakfast and an unbelievable host. Marco helps you in every issue and is the perfect barkeeper at the same time - try a pisco sour ;) We‘ll come a second for sure!

Nothing is missing here!

I’ve spend two full weeks at this hostel and I can’t complain about anything. It’s really clean, the breakfast is better than in some Hotels (!) and the rooftop bar leaves no wish desired. I’ve been in other hostels/ hotels in Lima and I was really happy to spend most of my time in Lima Backpacker. The Host is really caring and gave some free Cocktail Pisco Sour Lessons, tips where to eat and what, as well as perfect company for some conversations during the night. Overall, I can’t recommend this hostel enough, especially if you’re staying for a longer time and you are interested in the daily peruvian life and culture. It’s the first time I really felt at home in a Hostel. When I come back to Lima, I will book it definitely again.

All was perfect.

Property was clean and small (sleeps ~8 people) so it’s not like noisy big hostels. People I met there were really nice and respectable. Host shared a lot of advice and local tips. The breakfast provided was simple yet great and healthy. I could easily see myself staying there for couple of weeks.
