Pariwana Hostel Lima

Amazing Hostel with a great rooftop, I was extending three times and stayed almost three weeks. It has a great Restaurant and Bar, I was eating there several times it´s very convenient and you get delicious food for a good price. Activities every night such as Dancing Classes or Beer Pong and every Saturday a Motto Party. It´s the best place to connect with people, you won´t be alone there. Only thing I was missing was a kitchen.

I was two times in the hostel because I liked it really much. The rooms are not the same so look what you need before you make the booking. One room I had was for four people. I don't need curtains but for whom it is important - it does not have any. The windows are very good - so good the noise from the loud street does not get through. But neither does air and the air conditioning is not good enough for four people (or needs some cleaning/maintenance?). The other room I had has six beds and with curtains and it was more quite and the window could be left open during the night. The kitchen is ok, but rather to prepare something small. There is no stove to cook. But there are a lot of options to eat in the area which are of cause more expensive than cooking yourself. Not at all expensive is the integrated restaurant. The dishes vary in quality but what I always liked was the porridge for breakfast and pasta with vegetables and soy balls for lunch/dinner.

Nice location, decent rooms and decent service, but the tourist information is dodgy at best, depending on who you talk to they will give you with confidence terrible advice or give you half information. They "stop" the music at 10pm but in reality they put the volume so loud in their bar upstairs that the volume in fact increases. Had to complain about noise more than half the nights I stayed there.

Brilliant location, restaurant does amazing breakfasts and rooms are well-designed with v comfy beds and regular cleans. The tour desk was really helpful and the staff are very kind. When I was ill Liz, one of the staff members, literally came and applied anti-nausea scents to my neck, brought me food, and checked up on me every hour.

I had such a great time here. Met some amazing people, sung karaoke and celebrated the hostel's 15th birthday on 13-7-2024. Highly recommend!

Beware those seeking a good nights sleep! The upstairs bar can blast very loud music until 1am. I felt the dance floor above our dorm and it was like people were dancing on my head it was so loud. I got very little sleep.

Great hostel with an awesome atmosphere and a lot of activities offered, so it's easy to meet people. The staff is super friendly and Manuel makes the best Pisco Sour in South America!! Thanks for everything and I would always stay again at Pariwana whenever I come back to Lima!

When we asked for a bottom bunk we were told we could not have one, even though there were plenty available in the room. The next day I heard someone ask for a bottom bunk and they were easily moved. Very rude. Otherwise the hostel isn’t bad, the food takes forever to come out but is quite cheap. Not very much party atmosphere. Location is pretty good in the centre of Miraflores.
