Pool Paradise Lima - Hostel

I was traveling on my own, but it was easy to meet people here. There were plenty of activities, the other guests were nice, and the staff did what they could to make my stay great. Sergio deserves a shout-out for arranging my 2:30 a.m. airport cab and making sure I got it. I also had a ping-pong match with Angelo, took a ceviche class run by the nicest guy whose name I've forgotten, and joined a salsa class with its teacher. Loved this hostel!!!

The rooms were average, with decent bathrooms and facilities, and the place was okay for a night. Still, the atmosphere felt weird to me, so I booked another hostel after that first night. The staff seemed very flat and unwelcoming, the pool was closed, and there wasn't much of a social scene for a young backpacker. I moved closer to central Miraflores and had a much better time, with everything closer. D

We had a great time here, and the staff were fun and genuinely helpful. The courses they offer were enjoyable, really convenient, and good value. The hostel's location worked well too, with all kinds of things within walking distance, whether you're after food, art, night bars, the mall, or something else.

I spent a whole week here and had a really good stay. The rooms are quite big, and the staff are very friendly. Alex in particular gave me useful tips and helped me out when I got lost in Lima during my first few days. It's a shame there's no kitchen at the hostel.
