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.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
