Outstanding hostel in the best location in Miraflores. The staff are outstanding; helpful, friendly, kind. The place is clean and well run. The rooftop open-air lounge is comfy and the restaurant is great value and quite tasty. Excellent breakfasts and pasta dishes. Stay here if you want the buzz of a hostel in the best location in town.

Checkin was extremely slow, I was standing at the desk for 10 minutes before someone acknowledged me. After I was checked in, I waited for 20 minutes while my room was ready while other people checked in later and were brought to their room. Quiet hour is supposed to be at 10/11 but the loud music is blasting all night long and there are rude guests in the room chatting at 130 AM and coming in and out and slamming the door. This is the worst hostel I’ve ever stayed at and do not recommend this to anyone

I could not get to Lima due to flight cancellations. I spoke to customer service and they said to book with insurance going forward. The cancellation Fee is 3x the general nightly cost.

Hi Sheila, thank you for your comment. After having talked with us, the free cancellation of your reservation was given, having booked with a non-refundable rate was the right thing to do, but we understand your situation and we hope to have you soon at our hostel.
Greetings!
Great location! The employees are awesome and very helpful. Breakfast was yum! Only downsides I found were water pressure in communal bathroom and in the dorm room there’s an automatic air freshener that goes off loudly every 15 minutes. Those who don’t stay in dorms won’t have that issue - and maybe it’s just the bathroom I had

Hi Laura,
Thanks for sharing your experience!
We have been checking our water pressure and it's been working ok, we payed more attention to it after your review, thanks for that. We do have an automatic air freshener since Lima is really humid and we have it to prevent in our bathroom walls/roof start appearing stainds and fungus due to humidity.
Your comments give us the chance to continue improving,
Best regards,
I have stayed at hostels all around the worldand Paiwana Lima is the best Ive ever stayed out. Its like a high quality hotel. Can't fault anything. Really good security with in room lockers, with power point inside. Facilitates, each bed has light power points and a shelf. Airconditioning in rooms turned on about 9pm. Very clean showers, and reliable hot water. Free breakfast, wifi and nightly activities on the rooftop and bar area. Really good meals in the bar. All this with amazing friendly service from all the staff. Do yourself a favour, skip the fancy hotels save some money "champagne on a beer budget".
A hostel is a hostel and that’s why you go to a hostel..... meeting people, affordable accommodation (shared/dorm rooms) and location. I thought everything was in order at this location.
The hostel was excellent, staff were very friendly and helpful. Food options were good! There the hostel can get a bit loud due to parties and traffic noise but that wasn’t a massive issue at all. Meet some great people! Overall good vibe and atmosphere!
I loved the location. The staff was VERY friendly and helpful. The events planned are fun. BUT it's never quiet here. Between the late night parties, construction all over the building early in the morning, and general hostel room noises one can never get a good night's rest. There's also never any privacy with the beds lacking curtains.
This place is probably one of the best hostels I've been in, and I've been in a few. I constantly saw the bathrooms and facilities being cleaned, and things being kept neat and tidy. The location is overlookng a park and major street intersection - but they provide earplugs free of charge in the event you need them to sleep! That's how thoughtful they are here.
The staff were super-helpful and knowledgeable about the area and gave great advice on getting around. Very friendly and the food is also great as well. They even have a travel agent desk in the hostel to help with booking tours and just travel info in general around Peru. It might be a bit more than other hostels, but it is *definitely* worth the extra. When I come to Lima again, I am definitely booking this place.
I didn't stay here so will not comment on the facilities, only on how this hostel treats its guests. I booked for five nights (Feb 5 to 10) expecting that my Cusco-Nasca bus will arrive on time in Nasca, I can do the Nasca flight, and take bus to Lima and check-in. Cusco-Nasca bus was delayed 6 hours due to road-closure because of rock-fall so I couldn't get to Nasca on-time for flight and hence couldn't get to Lima the same day. I asked hostel to take this into consideration and not charge me for the night of 5th Feb. No go by hostel. I told them if they want to charge for the missed night, I will cancel remainder of my reservation. They preferred this (!) so I cancelled the four nights and found a better place to stay. So, my advice: stay away from this hostel if you care for consideration, respect and value for money. For them, guests are NOT guests, only money-making machine. It's also possible that they sold my bed to someone else and made twice the money - from me and from one who used it that night.
I would NOT use Pariwana Hostels anywhere anymore - Lima, Cusco, or Santiago.

El hostal Pariwana es exactamente lo que esperábamos, un lugar céntrico en Miraflores. Cuenta con una localización ideal para movilizarse, en bus, taxi, incluso cercano al metro bus. Lo recomiendo, unicamente saber que por su condición de Hostal no es el lugar más tranquilo para dormir por el ruido.
