1900 Hostel Lima

Good hostel for the price. The showers are really good with super hot water and good pressure, the common areas were being cleaned often, there is a decent breakfast (good quality bread, butter, jam, fruit, juice, coffee or tea), super friendly staff and there are some really cute hostel pets. Our private room was decent, had no windows but was spacious, had a comfortable bed, and lamps.

Cheap hostel prices and you get what you pay for. We got a private room which was big enough for two and had everything we needed. The shared bathrooms and showers were close to our room and were clean regularly through the day. The location is very central with walking distance to the main square of Lima and the cathedral or catacombs. The staff was friendly too!

So I stayed here during my time in Peru for about 2 weeks and I found the service to be exceptional and it's perfectly situated. The service from the team was great tmi here but I didn't feel well one evening as I asked if it was okay if they could get me some water and they got me a 4L bottle of water so they take care of the people that are staying very well. And the events you can go too if you book with the tour guides there are good quality for money absolutely so if you're in the area stay here not only did I feel safe but also felt welcomed nothing I asked was an issue

The hostel is really nice, clean and spacious, the breakfast is good, the staff really chill, giving some nice reco and always here to help with the smile. The rooftop is nice if we want to do some movements. Just need to know that it is noisy day and night but with earplugs all good.

Was given a private double room that looked nothing like the photos. On my last day I saw some rooms with dooors open that looked like the room I booked. The room I got was separated from outside with thin window. It was very cramped and dark and damp. Very disappointed by the room so for that reason would not recommend. Staff nice and breakfast was acceptable

Note: make sure to ALWAYS book via Hostelworld and never directly with them and not through booking. Directly, they will mark up the price, even though they avoid paying commissions if you book through a platform. Some places charge you less because they save on comission. You'll save 10 SOL or more per night booking with Hostelworld over booking, and 15 SOL or more vs. booking directly with the hostel. Otherwise, it's an amazing location, the staff are local and can provide you with lots of advice, especially the younger guy who sometimes work at the desk & Claudia. Bathrooms/rooms are well cleaned and have paper to dry your hands, the terrace is huge. Only downside is traffic outside is super noisy.

Young gent at the reception spoke amazing English and was very friendly. Room was small but nice, cold water in the evening but hot by morning. Very very loud from outside noise and loud music from inside until 01:00.

I didn't like being up-sold for a room. The guy who checked me in directed me to an 8 bed dorm and I thought that was the 28soles option, and I was tired and didn't count my money. He put me in a more expensive room and I don't appreciate that. The mansion itself is beautiful, there's a rooftop with a kitchen and space for yoga, the place is very clean. Not a super social vibe, a bit loud, and I never came back late at night but it would be preferable to have some sort of key code to the front door rather than waiting for someone to buzz you in.
