Few communal spaces means there is nowhere to hang out and meet people, and lots of people end up sitting in the corridors. I paid for a private room, but there was nothing private about it since with the door closed I could still hear people 10m down the corridor and they could hear me... no privacy. the room was hot and stuffy, no flat surface to unpack other than the small nightstand. showers never had hot water. I don't expect luxury but this hostel is missing basic things!

Bar au centre de l'hôtel, énormément de bruit le soir. Odeur horrible dams les chambres. Manque d'eau chaude pour les douches.

Nuestra experiencia en el hostal ha sido bastante desagradable. No hemos descansado bien por el ruido, los pitidos del tráfico son continuos desde por la mañana. Además el hostal alberga muchas actividades externas a los huéspedes, como fiestas en el rooftop y en las salas anexas a la recepción. No hay nada de insonorización. Por otra parte, nos robaron varias cosas y nos hemos sentido desatendidos.También la habitación 1 da a la oficina de tours y el chico entra y sale constantemente.

They played loud music all night so I couldn’t sleep one second. After claiming a refund I was told that was possible but it never arrived. Do not recommend at all

The people staying the hostel were weird, the private room was dirty and you did not feel comfortable. Most importantly: the location La Victoria is VERY DANGEROUS!!

Staff was SUPER nice, but that's it. Besides a 7 street lane, so super loud.Opening or closing the window gives you the choice of a loud room or a hot one! Those high ceilings look good? Yes but thay means every noise in your dorm resonates more! Kitchen hasn't been deep cleaned in years probably. Location isn't good either, the museum close by aren't the interesting ones. Their laundry service managed to lose some of my stuff, and give me something that belongs to someone else. Don't go here.

No outlets were working so everyone was changing their phones in the hallways, rooms suuuper loud, car hunking right by your bed all night, impossible to get any sleep and no AC either. Also a really shady area, would not recommend

Very affordable hostel, big with lots of room and a cozy rooftop. They offer different tours an activities. For the price this makes for a great stay. However, the beds shake and aren’t that comfy, and the showers were very dirty! Lots of wet tissue paper and dirt

Great hostel ! Stayed for 3 nights and wish we could’ve stayed a few more. The free breakfast was great! We really enjoyed the area, lots of nice parks, street food and local people. It’s quite a busy street and can be loud but that’s not an issue for us. The rooftop is really nice and chilled and overall just has a really good vibe. Also the staff are all really kind and put a lot of love into the place.

Loved it! This place has lots of areas to relax and is very pretty. I was only here one night but from what I saw this is a very chill hostel, and it worked for me perfectly since my bus station was very close to the hostel. If you’re looking to explore the downtown area of Lima instead of miraflores, this place is for you.

Excelente palacete reformado en el centro de Lima. 2 pasos del.parque de la Exposicion y el Museo de Arte de Lima. Precios razonables con desayuno incluido. Habitaciones individuales amplísimas..Cuantiosas duchas y retretes. Limpio, seguro y un equipo super simpático y eficaz.

Not the best location it’s very noisy, there is only a small fan in the bedrooms so people leave the balcony doors open where you can hear the traffic from the busy road late into the night and very early in the morning. There were a lot of families and couples staying there and it didn’t feel the best place to meet people as a solo traveller.

I think if you're the first time in Lima it's better to stay somewhere in Miraflores. since this hostel is quite far from many things to do. But I liked this part of Lima, breakfast was not bad,the hostel offers differnt activities what is nice.

Das 1900 Backpackers Hostel war mein erstes Erlebnis in Peru und es war wirklich toll. Ich wurde super freundlich empfangen und konnte, obwohl ich aufgrund der Zeit natürlich nicht einchecken konnte, nach einem sehr langen Flug direkt duschen und meine Sachen lagern um Lima zu besuchen. Jeremy hat mir einen tollen Pisco Sour beigebracht und Beka war eine tolle Unterstützung vor Ort. Vielen Dank für den guten Start in Peru

This hostel is located in a beautiful older building with high ceilings and comfy common areas with lots of charm. The staff is very kind and the hostel is so, so clean. I also appreciated the free breakfast and offered activities. I didn’t love the locations as it’s about a 30-35 minute walk to the Plaza de Armas and I was catcalled a lot while exploring the city center, but everything else was good.

这里本身上是一座漂亮的房子,但是缺乏维护。床不舒服,挨着街道,很吵。房子里住了很多当地人,我不能忍受的点是,没有热水洗澡。

Great place for the value. The location is alright although far away from the beach (however bike rentals are available). Plenty of nice parks in the area, although harder to get to and from the airport than the main areas. Staff were lovely and always able to help. Frequent free activities available with a nice light breakfast. Staff ask for feedback daily. Bathrooms weren't of the absolute highest quality, but still very much worth the price.
