Hostel Thay83 Miraflores Lima

Awful! Lazy staff who knows nothing about tours in the area, dogs in reception, not sure if it's a doss house. They were serving food despite no running water, which does not meet cleanliness or hygiene standards in my view! It's on a very noisy road. Would not recommend.

The location is really good as it's just a few minutes walk in a safe neighborhood to the main Miraflores square and the coastal parks. When we arrived the receptionist spoke decent English and our rooms were ready straight away. i was struck by how quiet it was, but I think it's just the time of year. Our room had 2 beds, both doubles. I thought we'd checked for bunks before booking but we made do. There wasn't much of a view nor were the windows able to be opened far but there was a fan and working air con. The beds were clean as was the room and shower had good hot water. The reason for 3 stars is we'd just 1 towel and it's a good custom to know we'd need 4 towels and get more but the receptionist didn't do that. We didn't stay for breakfast but there weren't a lot of people eating so couldn't tell if it was ready on time or not. Upstairs there was a bar selling beer for decent price and there was a DJ and it was quiet loud at night. We had ear plugs and were jet lagged so slept through the noise but if we'd been here a few days we would've been annoyed I guess. Overall it was fine for what we paid for, the convenient location outweighs any qualms about the service.
