Hostal El Pilar

Я нашёл этот хостел, когда искал недорогое место для ожидания рейса в международном аэропорту Лимы. Приветливый персонал был впечатляющим, но хостел находился в очень отдалённом и запущенном районе.

I booked the hostel not realising that hostels in Lima are for something else. The area is a bit dodgy, when people found out I was staying in Callao they couldn’t believe it cause it isn’t safe to walk around unless you just get an uber straight to the place. It was really loud, the walls are paper thin and the windows don’t seal properly so can hear everything. I had to switch hostels and they didn’t refund me. They were still nice and I could check in earlier than I’m most hotels but if you want to rest please be careful as it’s extremely loud every hour.

It’s a small room by USA standards, but a great value. My room was clean, the shower hot, AND they offered me an upgrade (I don’t know why). Bonus mirror by the bed! Some noise from other rooms and the bar. It’s in a working neighborhood, but you can walk two blocks to Mercado Santa Rosa for breakfast, fruit, and early dinner. Calle 5 is on the cooperative van route to port attractions: naval museum, Submarine Abtao, and Islas Palominos. It’s an inexpensive urban hotel run by nice, helpful people.

Cet hôtel est près de l’aéroport, quand le taxi vous laisse et que vous ouvrez la porte, ça fait assez taudis. La chambre ok, mais l’hôtel, comme on dit en français ça craint… Le personnel gentil le concierge m’a porté mes bagages, m’a offert une bouteille d’eau. La literie peut vraiment mieux faire…

Mi papá se hospedó y le gustó mucho. Además, es un barrio tranquilo.
