Inti Killa Hostel

All the other staff I interacted with were lovely, but I left late at night for another hotel and wouldn't recommend women stay here alone. The room felt unclean, so I didn't stay the night. It smelled very musty, especially the bathroom, which seemed to lack ventilation. The furniture looked old, with some quite stained, and the bedding had stains and black dots that can sometimes indicate bed bugs. I was worried about bed bugs and told the person at reception why I was leaving. He insisted there weren't any and wanted me to stay. Then the conversation became strange: he asked a lot about me, my partner who was due to arrive the next day, and what it's like to date British women. As a solo female traveler I started feeling extremely uncomfortable and a bit trapped, but eventually managed to leave. He asked how people say goodbye in the UK and hinted at hugging or something similar, which made me uncomfortable again. Maybe he meant no harm, but the conversation gave me a bad feeling.

The bed was comfortable and the rest of the room was good, though the shower wasn't great. The staff were nice, breakfast was good with egg, bread, banana, and beverages, and the location was fine. The Wi-Fi came and went but usually worked.

The service was excellent, and the hotel was clean and very cozy. The beds were comfortable and clean too. I'd definitely recommend it, and would come back more often if I could.

After searching for an affordable, well located hostel in Miraflores for my Dad and me, we chose Inti Killa. It was just what we wanted and didn't disappoint. Our room was a twin with plenty of space, and it worked well as a base for our trips around Lima. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. Kennedy Park and the Ocean Bluffs were a short walk away, with plenty of good places to eat and other services nearby. The front desk was staffed 24/7, and we had to buzz to get in. Breakfast started at 0800 and was more than enough to get the day going. The staff were incredibly helpful and polite. The bathroom ceiling was a bit low and some paint was peeling, but those were minor issues.
