I chose Viajero as a spot before and after a Peru Hop tour. It was great for two one night stays that were mostly sleep. I stayed in a 4 person room and the bed was clean with a dividing curtain and adjoining bathroom with two toilets and showers. Everyone was quiet and kept the space clean. Staff was very helpful. Wish I could have stayed longer to check out some of the social events or the bar!

The private room was surprisingly large. Everything was clean, staff was attentive and helpful, and the location is perfect for exploring Barranco. The building itself is stunning, and the nightly activities are good bonus if you're looking to socialize.

Amazing!! For a hostel, the rooms were clean. Great people, great location, and beautiful building!

The staff is 11/10 in service and helping ya figure out anything ya wanna do basically anywhere not just Lima. Thank you to Sarah (booking events ) and Sophia (good breakfast and service) and thank you to front of the house for helping me find my lost phone. Can’t say enough good things

My stay was ok, you get what you pay for. I wouldn’t recommend this hostel to a family or older adults. I had a couple of issues being the most noticeable the water shutdown during the day, I wasn’t able to do any personal hygiene during the whole morning. Also, don’t expect this space to be noise free, so if you are a light sleeper, this place is not for you.

The private rooms are next to the bar downstairs and the music and noise are extremely loud until 3am. There’s no chance for sleep. Walls are paper thin.

I booked a private room and it was beautiful and very clean. It was my first time staying in a hostel, and the experience was even better than I expected. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. It does get a bit noisy because of the bar next door, but it wasn’t enough to bother me, was like white noise, almost soothing. After a certain hour it becomes completely quiet, and the lights in the hallways turn off, no light seeped into the room. Overall, a great stay! In addition, they had free activities to get you engaged with other hostel members which is nice to take advantage of.

Perfect atmosfere

If you're looking for a super friendly, social hostel in Lima, this is the place!

Plus, the location couldn't be better—right near bars and party spots, so the nightlife is just a short walk away.

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in, and I've travelled to 20+ countries. The rooms are spacious and beds have enough privacy even in large dorms. The hostel bar is incredible and they have activities for everyone every day, all day. Christian was the best host I've ever had and led an immersive 5 hour food tour through Lima, and during the night he was the life of every party!

Property is really cool and in a great location. We met some fun people in our 12 person room. Not an ideal setting for someone who wants their own personal space and quiet, but was fun for us for a few nights. Bring a towel (7 sol to rent) and lock for your bedside locker. Lots of activities offered at the hostel and the bar is attached to it- so it’s loud (bring earplugs or AirPods).

Luis was awesome! I arrived very early in the morning and he was super attentive and helpful in getting me settled in. Thanks again Luis!

Don’t knock a hostel until you try this one. It’s right by the coastline, there’s a popular convenience store right by the corner and plenty of coffee and eating in this area. Perfect for a solo traveler with a wide age group at this hostel too. Definitely recommend

Amazing staff, nice bar, wide beds, close to alot of nice attractions and restaurants

Loved staying at the hostel

Stay away! The place was falling apart. We had private deluxe suites. The over whelming smell of roach spray gave me a head ache in 5 minutes. Got in the shower - walked from the shower to the bed and my feet were black with filth. That night we were getting in bed and it was full of bugs. We ended up changing Hotels at midnight because we could get in the bed. So gross. I would not recommend

Good location

Enjoyed my stay here! Really beautiful building with a lot of original features. Comfortable beds, warm showers, though could do with more bathrooms and the one in the dorm I stayed in was very small. Lots of spaces to sit and chill. Staff very helpful and friendly. Central to Barranco area (across the road from a supermarket!) and cheap to get a taxi elsewhere in Lima. Do take earplugs - the street outside is noisy!

Nice staff, beautiful building
