Frommer's Review

Well located on the southern fringes of Lima Centro, a block from Plaza Bolognesi, this small Dutch-owned hostal is very friendly and well run -- and one of the best budget bargains in town. It occupies an attractive, restored 19th-century colonial-style house and has a pretty patio. It's safe, clean, and understandably very popular with backpackers and other value-conscious travelers. Some rooms could afford to be spruced up a bit, so if several are available, ask to see a couple on different floors. The hostal is also very gay-friendly, and it features solar heating. In case this one's full, the owners also operate a second, more basic hostal around the corner.
