A comfortable family atmosphere abounds here. The cut-rate prices make this a highly sought after home-away-from-home for the young back-packer. Located a few blocks from the city's main monuments, it is conveniently close to several tour agencies for planning excursions. The large period-style building has wood-panelled hallways and cozy rooms equipped with hot water and a television. There is a sitting room, and a cafeteria, which serves a hearty breakfast.

Warning! Not all promises are kept!
Good location, multi-language speaking owner. But: - nobody brought me from the airport although it was promised; - taxi cost to the airport was refunded in 50% only! - they copied my passport - the trip to Colca I booked with them at arrival occured to be more expensive than agreed in emails - the Sunday breakfast was delayed by an hour

great location and very safe
This hostel is just down the street from the Santa Catalina Monestary and in the other direction, the Plaza de Armas. The hostel has a roof-top terrace where you can sit and enjoy the surrounding volcanoes. Our room had sporadic hot water, but very comfortable beds. Breakfast was served by request once we were ready. The hostel can arrange tours to Colca Canyon and all your bus tickets to further destinations. The hostel has a very secure gate where someone has to let you in and out. The price was very reasonable and the service was good, however we had arranged a pick-up at the airport and they didn't show. Taxi was about 15 soles (US$5) from the airport.
