; Lima 457; dm S30, d with/without bathroom
S90/66; )
Of Flying Dog's four Lima hostels, this is the best, featuring a lovely out-
door garden bar and 3rd-floor lounge area with expansive views over Parque Kennedy.
Two kitchens make for a shorter cooking queue, and the included breakfast is taken at the
terrace restaurant across the park.

Av Casimiro Juan Ulloa 328; dm S48, s/d S124/
135; )
This first-generation youth hostel caters mostly to groups. Dorms are spot-
less, and ample private rooms feature homey decorations, but the vibe is a little dull (save
for the friendly pooches). Infrastructure is a strength, with ample kitchen facilities and a
spacious backyard with a pool.

Friend's House $
( 446-6248; friendshouse_peru@yahoo.com.mx; Jirón Manco Cápac 368; dm/d incl
breakfast S20/S50)
Overtaken by young dudes, this backpacker haunt is unpretentious and
sociable, though dorms are cramped and a little worn. There's kitchen privileges and a
small lounge with cable TV.

Explorer's House $
( 241-5002; evaaragon_9@hotmail.com; Alfredo León 158; dm/s/d without bathroom
S28/64/70, s/d incl breakfast S70/84; )
Bare bones, this hostel is somewhat frayed and
busy with Spanish-speaking guests. The management is very sweet and there's a shared
kitchen, wi-fi and a rooftop terrace with views.
