Family Hostel Barranco — Hotel in Lima Metropolitan Area

The hostel is situated pretty well for people who want to explore both neighboorhoods, Miraflores and Barranco. The supermarket is 8 blocks from the hostel, so not too close but still within walking distance. If you want to go to the beach, you need to walk quite a bit or take a taxi. ||||The owners of the hostel are really really nice and I have never stayed in a hostel, where people care that much about their guests. Erik took his time to explain me everything I needed and gave me great tips. He knows a lot about the the whole city and seems to have friends everywhere, so he can easily help you with whatever you want. ||One night there was a party next doors and he tried the best for the guests to help them sleep. He even gave me another room to sleep in for that night and stayed in contact with the neigbors to keep the music down. This is apparently a one time think and occurs only for Christmas. But I have never stayed in a hostel where the owners are so attentive to the guests. ||||I stayed in the single room with private bathroom, which with 15USD is quite cheap. It was very small (which is completely ok for that price), but the private bathroom attached to the room was a bit dirty. As far as I have seen, all the other rooms were cleaner. I advised Erik about this issue and he cleaned the bathroom, but still, for my taste, it could have been a little bit cleaner. ||||The common area of the hostel is very small and dark, so not an inviting area to hang out. They do not have a 24 hour reception, or a reception of any kind, but they live downstairs, so usually you should be able to get a hold of somebody. Erik also gives away his Whatsapp contact, so you can easily contact him.||||The internet is ok and they are trying to improve it. They dont clean the rooms every day.||||All and all a simple hostel but with great and loving owners who make everything possible for you to have a nice stay and also try to improve their hostel...

Family Hostel Barranco is a lovely hostel located in the border of Barranco and Miraflores neighborhoods, the most trendy neighborhoods of Lima. It is located close from restaurants, bars, supermarket, the sea coast, the metro to the center and at the same time is located in a very calm street.||The rooms are simple but have the essential to make us feel confortable.||The ratio price/quality is very good especially considering the location. The breakfast is not included but can be added by a small price.||This is a family owned business, and I felt realy confortable here, the owners Eric, Vanessa and little Saul, made me feel that I was a part of the family, they are very kind and nice and give very usefull touristic information and Eric gives marvelous restaurant tips. I've ate the best Ceviche of my life, recommended by Eric, he has serious standards =)||Family Hostel Barranco also offers a very useful transfer service from and to Lima airport which is good for tourists that just arrived and don't feel confortable to take a taxi from the airport without knowing the corrent taxis prices.||I just have to thank Eric and Vanessa for making me feel at Home. ||Hope to visit you again in the...

My partner and I stayed at the Family Hostel Barranco for 2 nights. Eric and his wife Vanessa picked us up from the airport at midnight and brought us to the hostel. The rooms are basic but clean and the bed was comfortable. Eric made us scrambled eggs for breakfast with homemade juice and super fresh bread rolls. Eric was great, he spoke good English and sat with us on our first morning and explained the local area, what to do, see and most importantly where to eat!!||The Hostel is within walking distance to Barranco centre which is a really nice suburb it has loads of restaurants, cafes, breweries and awesome street art. The next suburb over Mira Flores is worth a visit too, it has more great restaurants and night life. ||Overall Family Hostel Barranco was a great option for us it was basic but has everything you need with great hosts! Thanks Eric...
