Hostal Gemina — Hotel in Lima Metropolitan Area

We stayed at Hostal Gemina for 2 nights. The Hostal itself is quite quirky with random items collected and displayed in the communal areas. The staff were very friendly. The room was cleaned daily and the facilities were a little bit dated with the plumbing being a bit hit and miss! The wifi signal was very weak in the bedrooms and stronger in the communal areas. The room was pretty basic but fine for 2 nights. We had breakfast with our room rate, which was Bread, Butter, Pineapple Juice and Tea.

They lock the front gate at night if it's late so you might need to shout for reception to let you in after a night if...

Located in Barranco and close to a supermarket as well as cash machines. The hostel is located inside little alcove shopping centre so you might not see it from the street until you walk down the corridor. My flight was delayed so I didn’t get in until 1am - I gave them my flight details and they must’ve known as they stayed up to wait for me. |The staff are friendly, the rooms are basic and good sized. The breakfast is simple with juice, hot drink and some nice bread with jam and butter. So I would say a good...
