Worst Place to stay
I booked an overnight stay in this hostel. It says that they have a 24 hour frontdesk but It's a complete lie. I arrived in the morning around 9 am to just drop my luggage and go around. Take note I'm not yet checking in because I know that check in starts at 1:00 pm. I just wanted to leave my luggage and go around Lima. When I arrive in the property there was no one in site. I was buzzing and buzzing the alarm and waited for almost two hours but there was no one. People from the nearby coffee shop and the workers from El Condado Hotel help me and tried calling their number but the line is unreachable. Please give yourself a favor and never stay here. And also they said that this place has changed and now It is a long term apartment rental now. Never ever stay here there are still a lot more way better places to stay in Miraflores.

This hostel was great for the price we paid. We ended up being able to check in early and we also got a 4 person room for just the 2 of us (we paid for a private 2 person room). The accommodation was clean and the reception and service was great. The location was wonderful as well because it was only a few blocks from the main square. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location
I had such a great experience at Incalife, the location is great, the staff is very friendly and attentive. I had a incident in Lima and I had to change the booking dates, unfortunately the terms and conditions didn't allow me to change the dates, however the guys were very understanding and try to help me to look for different option more suitable. Thank you very much guys, that was awesome!!

Great Location
This hotel is in a great location in Milaflores, close to banks, across from a grocery store, a short walk to the ocean and a spectacular restaurant just around the corner called Saqre - the restaurant is a little pricey but worth every penny for the gastronomy. Only issue was the showers were "on demand" hot water that never really got hot - slightly above skin temp was the best we could achieve. Staff was helpful though and very accommodating.

Tres americanos
Three Americans in a triple room. Very clean. Bathroom adequate. Get a private bath because the shared bath is tiny and impossible to use. Great quality for the price in a triple room in the center of miraflores. No luxuries, very simple with a simple breakfast.

SLOW internet
The location of the hostal is A+, however, the internet speed is veeeeery slow like dial-up speed. I took the biggest room which faces the street. Well, the windows are not sound proof. I could hear people talking at the street. The toilet smells strong. It has a strong sewer smell. The staff was VERY friendly. If they fix these items, this hostal could be awesome.

Inca life hostel, Lima!
I spent 3 nights here before heading to Cusco. Perfect location, right next to a gourmet supermarket where I bought groceries and water very cheap. Upmarket Bars and restaurants are within waking distance. The staff were super friendly and helpful with information on the area. The mattresses could do with an upgrade though! Aside from that I would definitely stay here again.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
I guess for the money I paid it was barely OK, the free breakfast was instant coffee or tea with no cream or milk available, 2 breads with butter and jam, nothing else, not even napkins. Hotel has no wifi in rooms, only in a room that has no desks or chairs, only sofas and a tv, one dude was sleeping in a sofa, not sure if he was owner, employee or guest. Place is at best one star, very cheap, and when I say cheap, I mean low class, smelly, and even uncomfortable, they DO NOT TAKE CREDIT CARDS and wanted me to pay in advance, contrary to what Hotels.com said, to pay at end of stay. All in all, I can't complaint for only 36 soles, which are about $12 bucks, but even hostals in Lima charge $35 soles a night for better rooms with jacuzzis, always nice even if you don't have a ooker with you, if you know what I mean.

Cheap place to stay in great location
This is a hostel, not a 5 star hotel. It's clean, cheap, and in the midst of Miraflores. It's an easy walk to restaurants and shopping. They make the best of what they have to work with. If you plan on going out often and just need a place to rest your head, this place is perfect for that. The bathroom does tend to smell like sewage, but I've stayed in a couple of much nicer places with the same problem. Don't expect any sort of service or even much conversation. This place is purely barebones and functional.

Good location
This is a small third floor hostel with only a few rooms and separate bathroom. The rooms are a bit run down but ok for some where to sleep for a couple of nights. The best thing about it is the location

el hotel era el más economico, pero tenía un tema de limpieza importante, sabanas curtidas y humedad del cuarto, el calentador de la regadera se estaba quemando cuando se prendió y nos bañamos con miedo.
