I had made plans with the hostel to pick me up around 2am and had my days switched...I actually arrived a day earlier and when I called the hostel, they informed me I had done this. BUT, they were so nice about it. They called their taxi driver who got out of bed to come and pick me up! That... More

No downside at all at the dragonfly, we were there at the end of january 2012, booked there before arriving almost randomly and were not disappointed at all. -Some may find the breakfast "basic", but the bread is coming from the bakery down the hotel and is very good, same for the butter (in so many country you get only...

I'd never been to Peru before, and I didn't know what to expect, so I booked this hostel on Hostelworld.com before I left. The staff was easy to work with, and when I let them know I would be arriving late, they arranged a taxi to pick me up at the airport. A guy was there holding a sign with... More

I stayed several time at Dragonfly and always enjoyed my time there!. The staff is very, very friendly and makes you feel like home.The rooms and bathrooms are very clean. The hostel is also very conveniently located and you can easily walk around to Parque Kennedy or the Malecon. This is definitely the best hostel I stayed at in Peru! More

We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. You've booked a room for the january 8th, with an arrival scheduled between 8-9pm. You arrived after midnigt and we had no news about a late arrival. The receptionist this night was new, there for a replacement, doesn't speak english, and thoughts that you wouldn't show up and decided to rent the room. That... More

The best hostel I found in Lima. The staff is awesome, always here for a piece of advice or if you need anything (covers, heater...) and very friendly. They make you feel like home. The bathrooms are cleaned several times a day and the huge + is the 24/7 hot water (which does not seem obvious for every hostels in... More

All comments are welcome, here is our response. Safety: the hostel has only one entrance, with only 10 rooms we know exactly who get in and out. Our policy about visitors is clear, they have to leave a ID at the front desk, always be with a hotel guest present, stay in common areas (no visitors in the dorms). We... More
