“Amazing!”
El Mural Backpacker Hostel was the best hostel during my trip to Peru. The rooms are very nice and quiet. The huge terrace is an amazing common area where you can relax and even work out. There is also a large, well-equipped kitchen, and the fruit market is just a few minutes from the hostel. The breakfast is amazing, and the staff are super friendly too. I loved spending time here and I warmly recommend it!

Very nice staff, they were super flexible when I decided to go to the Amazon spontaneously and a friend could use the night I had booked but didn't use, also they let me wait for my flight in the hostel when I came back even though I hadn't booked another night Very nice rooftop :)

This is a super nice hostal, clean, good price point, nice rooftop, comfy beds, quiet area. It is a bit far from the centre, and not the most social hostel. But if you are looking for a quiet, restful place this is perfect. And close to the bus station for other big cities. The murals are super cool.

A hostel with a massive rooftop terrace. Kitchen is well equipped. Private rooms are very comfortable. Not the most social hostel, but certainly one in which to feel comfortable in.

Big, bright room with everything you need, including 2 big fans to keep you cool in the heat. Fully equipped kitchen. Roof terrace to hang out on. Also, I loved the situation - out of the noise of the main city, and yet close enough to be easy to get to everything.

It's a place were you can meet fellow backpackers. Rooftop terrace is nice. Waterrefill is possible. Facilities are basic but just still alright for the price.

“Further out but worth it”
Large rooms, great terrace, relative distance from the city centre hence a bit more quite but at the same time dusty roads and far from things.
