Hostal Las Fresas

The room was really small, and for some reason the bed made us so itchy that we couldn't sleep for a long time. After a few hours of sleep some women from the hostel started talking so loud in the early morning that we had to wake up. They also gave us slightly ripped bills that nobody would accept, and we had to argue with them for 10 minutes to change the bills.

We stayed here because it was inexpensive and close to the airport. The room was very small and we had to put our baggage on the floor, because there was nowhere else to put it. The toilet did not have a seat, and there was some mold in the shower. It is not a place that you want to spend more than one night.

The only reason to stay here is for convenience of the airport. It's really not near anything, and I would not go out I the neighborhood after dark.

very close to airport. Beds are not real comfortable but we just needed a 6 hour sleep before going back to the airport again.

We needed a cheap place, near the airport, to spend the night before an early morning flight, and Hostal Las Fresas fit the bill. For the $45, I wasn't expecting anything more, but it's very basic. We arrived late on a Sunday evening and there were no places to get dinner from within walking distance, the person on duty spoke no English, the computer /credit card machine was broken so we had to pay in cash, our room was on the 3rd floor with no elevator, etc. But, the room was exactly like the picture, it was really inexpensive, and it was 5 minutes from the airport (although it took 15 minutes to return during traffic the next morning). The breakfast included fresh made scrambled eggs, which was a nice touch. We arranged roundtrip taxi (to/from airport) via the Hostal, and the airport to hostal ride was fine, but in the morning they arrived 15 minutes later than requested which was a little stressful with a flight to catch

Great experience, Frank and Paulino were both amazing to us. They helped us with anything we needed, and showed us around the area. They also had a taxi who they frequently used and was very nice. The breakfast was pretty simple, an egg and some bread, and the rooms were pretty basic, but overall very good.

Since our plane got in very late at night we were thankful to have this hostel close by. We don't recommend paying for an airport pickup because the driver did not leave to get us until we found a pay phone and called the hostel (defeating the purpose of a pre-arranged pickup). The staff was friendly and helpful and the breakfast was lovely. We enjoyed it in an outdoor courtyard. The room did not feel secure, as it had sliding windows. Also, the pillows were bumpy. On the other hand, the room was clean and included a towel. The hostel is located in an area close to the airport in an infamous Lima slum. Stay here if you want to be close, but don't tell your mother, and come and go by taxi.

I booked this hostel twice because it was near the airport and they provided a car service. I was not happy with the front desk not taking my money because it had a tiny tear and some water damage (which I did not cause it was given to me that way). This is a common practice through Peru but still it is not reasonable when it is the end of your trip and your last $50 soles are being declined for not being pretty. Noise travels and echos very loudly. If you are sensitive to noise I would not recommend. It is very hard to locate so I would recommend using their car service. The driver was very friendly and he waited for me when my flight was delayed. He uses his personal car which is a very nice vehicle.

They were very responsible in sending the pick-up taxi, friendly staff. The only thing is that I chose a room with private bathroom and they charged an extra fee for that.

We got to Las Fresas at 2am and the guy was there to let us in, he was even nice at such an ungodly hour. It's a tiny room, right next to the airport, but there was hot water. There was also a neat little courtyard where we had tea in the morning. There are some quirks - like our room window was into the hallway, but at that point I was just happy to have a bed.
