    Noisy, I paid more for a room with private bathroom in order to have my own privacy, however you can hear people talking around you or the sound of the ring bell. Old towels, pillows covered with leather case were unfomfortable. The hostess and the staff were great tho and the locations is amazing.

    The location is Perfect!

    Nothing for the price and location

    The host was very welcoming, full of information and tips for the centre of Lima, and helped us with everything we asked. The room was fine, no complaints. Bathrooms were regularly cleaned and had hot water.

    The location isn't great. While it's close to the center, there are other better places to stay in Lima.

    Very friendly hosts, always willing to help. Hot water in the shower

    We were able to get hot water, but the water pressure could improve. It did the job though! The location on Uber was wrong, so we had to redirect the drive to the actual hostel, but this is an issue with Uber.

    The staff was able to accommodate our 3 am check-in! They were super nice. The washroom was really nice and relatively new compared to all the other hostels we have ever stayed in Lima. We were able to get hot water although it took some time (but that's somehow an issue across Peru).

    The pillow here was unequivocally the worst pillow I have ever encountered in my entire life. The super loud doorbell going off at all hours of the day and night was annoying too. A bit stuffy and noisy at times too.

    Good, well maintained little place right in the center of Lima. Convenient to everything and well cared for by the staff.

    There is no water for showering before 8 AM in the morning. The hotel should have told the clients in advance. In addition, I wish the shared shower room has a rack for putting the shampoo and soap.

    The location is perfect. It is only a few steps from the historical center and museums. It is also close to the city center and transit center. There are lots of restaurants and bars for late-night dinners. The room and bathrooms are very clean. The staffs, although not speaking English, are great and helpful.

    None but only a suggestion if the management could change the pillow to a more comfortable one.

    Luis and Gris were very helpful and assisting. They helped me at their best capacity. I was placed in a very comfortable room so I can rest my mind and read and study more. The location is perfect, very close to plaza Miranda and Plaza de Armas and other major places. The shower is normally hot and the bathroom is always clean. Internet is not really that bad and there are restaurants available nearby. I recommend Korikancha and I will come back again. Thanks to Luis and Gris. I had a great time.

    Unfortunately it was so noisy at night with loud TV’s, doorbell ringing at 2am, people shouting/talking loudly in the middle of the night & early hours of the morning. The bed & pillows are plastic which made it uncomfortable.

    - Friendly staff - very clean - Good location for Historic centre
