Passion Hostel - Barranco

Friendly and helpful staff

The hostel felt very dirty and run down. The bed mattresses were terrible and very worn, the communal areas were dirty and cramped and I didn’t enjoy my stay.

Very good located hostel in Barranco. People here are very friendly. First night you get a free breakfast- good coffee and bread and jam. Roof terace is super cosy.

Everything was allright:)

Miguel was a great host and cooked us a nice breakfast which was free on the first day - good luck with your dancing :-)

difficult for our taxi driver to find in the dark

Excellent value for money

The beds need to have their springs changed

Water was off, meaning sinks, toilet and shower. Understand it’s beyond staffs control but there was no warning before we arrived or once we arrived of when the water would be off, and they did not know when it would be back on.

Nice vibe. Hot water heater right in the bathroom. The breakfast at 10 soles is worth it.

I stayed in the private room. The “private entrance” is you ring the doorbell, someone lets you in then you walk past them and others to your door. There’s a “tumble dryer” in the description but there isn’t one. The laundry is a washing machine that you use yourself for 5 soles a kilo then hang it to dry (if there’s sun it might) The laundry outside the hostel is 5 soles a kg. They do it for you and dry it and all.
