Staff were helpful and suggested an excellent tour of Caral-Supe. The location was not great, however, as it was a little bit far from central Lima.

C'est plus un dortoir qu'un hôtel, personnellement rien a redire, vous voulez dormir vous êtes au bon endroit ! La.pression de l'eau manque un peu, mais sinon un lieu convivial !

good!!!
Tiene un dueño muy amable y gentil. La señal de wifi no era muy buena, pero la habitación era muy cómoda. Estaba un poco preocupado por escuchar voces de otras habitaciones, pero hay supermercados, tiendas de conveniencia y panaderías cerca, lo cual es conveniente.

LIMA HOUSE debe sacar mas ventaja de su ubicación
Lo que recomendaría a los viajeros es disfrutar la ubicación y accesibilidad. Quienes atienden son bien conocedores de las ventajas del sitio. Tiene una diferencial de acomodaciones que se adapta al presupuesto. Sin embargo hay factores que generan incomodidad y podrían solucionarse mejor. El uso de tomacorrientes con una luz monitor que fastidia al dormir (y son 10 peor). La falta de ventilacion entre zona de baños y cocina-comedor. Los deterioros de partes metálicas en los baños y cocina. por ejemplo

The staff answered every question and went above and beyond to help with directions. We had miscorrectly booked our days - completely our fault - and the staff was more than accommodating with helping us figure everything out.

Staffs were extremely nice & kind.
Very good location.
Facility was old but kept clean.
Very noisy at night because of the traffic.
Also a bar nearby had loud music on the weekend.

Best hostel in Lima. Everyone is friendly and helpful. 24hr reception. Bed is comfy. Rooms have electric fans. And my dorm has a locker. Breakfast is coffee tea bananas and bread. Restrooms and showers are nice and clean. Water not too strong but at least has hot settings. Coffee and tea available all day. Dead center in downtown. I will stay here again.
