I stayed here with a friend in May 2010 during an 11 day trip to Peru. We had originally planned on staying here one night before we flew out to Cuzco, but ended up getting stuck in Peru for a few days (stupid standby tickets) and stayed at the hostel for two more nights at the end of our trip....

Stayed at this hostel the first few nights after arriving from Europe. Its a rather small and very quiet hostel which was perfect after a 27h journey. It's very clean and in a very secure and beautiful neighborhood plus they have a 24/7 guard. There are millions of good and cheap restorants around the corner a big metro store and... More

Loved our stay in One hostel and our host Melissa was very helpful. Barranco is a super cool area and the best place to visit Lima from as its not crazy as the city centre and you are near the beach to watch the sunset every eve! so fab..wish we had more time there!

Highly recommended! Great location, great staff, and clean rooms. Its just far away from lots of noise, but close enough for a short walk to a dynamic nightlife. I felt secure throughout the stay. Would recommend to anyone!

We only spent a couple of days here but enjoyed it. The location in Barranco was good near to supermarkets, bars & restaurants & close to the beach front. We felt very safe in this area. There was also a guard & security gate to the hostel. The breakfast which was included consisted a couple of rolls with butter &... More

It’s odd to show up at a hotel or hostel, and have only a security guard to let you in and show you to your room. It’s even odder when the security guard and someone putting out the morning breakfast are the only staff you see for the first three days. Admittedly it was very quiet, only two or three... More

We stayed here a number of times (one stay lasting two weeks) during our six months in south america. One Hostel became our home away from home. The rooms are great, the staff is fantastic and location is very convenient. I would highly recommend the place for anyone who has to stay a night in Lima.

I stayed here with a friend on a few different occasions while visiting Lima (between going to Cusco, Mancora, etc). It was recommended to me by a coworker who stayed here a couple years ago. The pictures in their website definitely show how cute the common areas (inside and out) are, but the rooms especially are just not that clean.... More

We apologies for the inconvenience you had on your last stayed at One Hostel. I wasn't aware of this situation, since no one had made a complain about it before. I have taken action and closed the hostel for 2 days for a deep fumigation. More

Very safe-- they have a guard at the gate 24/7--- which makes you feel very comfortable staying there. Very clean- very hostel like but that was fine. Fairly empty which was a bit suprising but fine. Good location for barranco-near lots of bars and restaurants.
