Hostal Las Fresas

We had about 4 hrs before our next flight and wanted a clean, cheap place to crash and shower before our next flight. I had read previous reviews about this place being perfect for that and it is. The rooms are clean and well kept, the shower is small (any really tall people may have to crouch down - I'm 5'6" and was fine), but has hot water and again is clean. I wish I would have booked the taxi through them b/c outside the airport we were being charged 45-60 soles, while they quoted 30. The one negative is the location. We arrived around midnight and I started to get really worried when I saw the neighborhood. Once you get to the hostel, everything is fine, but you need to be prepared to stay in during your stay until you return to the airport. Overall I would recommend to anyone in this situation, but not to stay as your main hostel in Lima.

Stayed here for an afternoon to sleep and rest before our redeye out of Lima close to midnight. Perfect set up! We booked right from the airport and checked in an hour later. Staff very, very accommodating and very gracious and friendly. Had room ready for us and let us check in early. They arranged for a taxi cab to take us to the airport that evening and even included it in the cost of the stay. Great set up. Comfortable room--we only stayed for an afternoon but it was perfect for what we needed!

Overall, I was satisfied with this hostel. It was exactly what I needed and expected but the room was even better. I paid for the room with my private bathroom and still got a good deal, totally worth it. I only needed it for a couple of hours and it did its job. Breakfast was simple but made fresh right when I came down. Staff was nice as well. I paid for the taxi service provided by the hostel. The only bad thing was the taxi was not there when I got in at 1am, so it was kind of frustrating having to wait and ask to use someone's cell phone to call. Needless to say he showed up and took me to my place in minutes. If you have a short stay and on a budget this is the place to go! If you want a 3 or 5 star hotel, don't look at hostels. You get what you pay for and this was just right!!

Just one night but was all right, nice room with WiFi, clean and polite staff

This place is close to the airport which makes it convenient, the staff was waiting for us even though we arrived at almost midnight. The room was small but clean. The breakfast was an egg, white rolls and tea.

We used this location for an overnight stay since we arrived very late at the airport and had another flight the next day. I just wanted somewhere cheap and convenient. I typically would have looked around for a place once we got there but I didn't want to chance it since it was so late. I was offered transportation for a fee and I told them all of our information. When we arrived we walked around in circles several times and no one was there with my name. We finally decided to take one of the taxis that were available. When we got to the hotel they were angry that we used I different taxi. I explained that their transportation was not there. They argued with me which I thought was very rude. I told them we didn't want their transportation in the morning since it wasn't reliable. All we wanted was to sleep and take a shower in the morning. There was no hot water in the morning. We had to wake up the owner who went to fiddle with something. They apparently were out of gas so tough luck. I am not a picky traveler but this was such a bad experience. A bed and hot water are not that much to ask for since it was advertised.

Only stayed here because it's close to the airport. Nothing else to offer. Location is bad otherwise. If you have a super early flight, this is a better option than waiting at the airport. For approx US$20 you can have a hot shower, internet and a place to rest while you wait for your flight. They help you get a taxi to the airport...

It is close to the airport. Setup driver to pick up. Wifi. Clean just enough for what we were looking for. I wouldn't stay there more then one night. Small bathroom don't think it has hot water.

We stayed here just overnight between flights, and it was perfect. It's close to the airport, so it's very easy to get to and from the hostal. They also have a very friendly driver who can pick you up and drop you off (we recommend this as taxis can sometimes scam you, as happened to us). The area around the Hostal is not very nice, and there's nothing to do or see. But again, it's perfect for an quick night's stay.

This is definitely a you get what you pay for situation. Tape on the windows. Shower is not really hot. Exposed fluorescent lighting.
