O Hotels Peru — Hotel in Lima Metropolitan Area

Yup,any hostel that welcomes kitties is alright by me. Orchids is super central, right next to Plaza San Martin, with plenty of things to see and do within walking distance. ||The first thing you'll notice is how clean and spacious this hostel is. The lockers are simply the biggest I have ever seen- seriously- they were taller than me! My 4 bed dorm had lots of space as well. Bunks have lights and power. I believe there is a common area on each floor, and a balcony for you smokers out there. The showers were solid and the super sized shower heads were luxurious. Super sized extra thick towels as well. Note to whoever keeps the bathrooms clean- keep up the good work! ||Note that in some travelers photos, there is a a fountain and courtyard. Not the hostel's fault, but these are not accessible to guests.||There is no public kitchen, but filtered water is available, and you can stash things in the fridge if you ask.||Some reviewers say the noise from a neary club is too much, but I hardly noticed a thing.||Breakfast is AYCE and included. If they could just add some whole wheat bread and any kind of protein- even peabut butter- it...

The hostel is in a great location, but can certainly be noisy outside (I didn't have much of a problem being on the second floor). The room I was in with three other women was spacious with large wooden lockers (bring your own lock), but any light in the hallway came through the textured glass. There is no AC but that is typical of South America, and they provided a fan. There is an outlet by each bed, and additional outlets on the common wall between the beds. Breakfast was typical, but mediocre (watermelon, bread, jam, tomatoes, milk, juice, tea, coffee). Water turned off at some point, but I...

I've been travelling for +3 years by bicycle and have stayed in many, many hostels throughout the world. This hostel is NOT "one of the best", it is "the best". Beautiful old building with non-creaking wooden floors, 10' high doorways and windows, spotlessly clean with sturdy bunk beds, personal plug and light and a seriously comfortable mattress. Class of traveller also seems upmarket even at these low prices and there's very little fellow travelers' noise. Located in the centre of the city so traffic noise is constant but that's what a city is all about. Even has a breakfast of real coffee, tea, juices, bread rolls, jam and sliced tomato...
