Lima


Occupying an enormous century-old casona, this longtime hostel has a wide array of rooms. Secure and sleeper-friendly, it includes a lounge with cable TV and a DVD library, while a bare outdoor patio has barbecue facilities and ping-pong. There are also parking spaces for campers (S20 per person). Overall, a good choice.
