Excellent helpful staff. Serious security. Really fun atmosphere. Great location. Free breakfast with hot tea and coffee, plus good food from an all day pay menu. My only complaint is our room was really dirty. The bathroom was dirty and the toilet paper bin wasn't emptied once during our stay, making the bathroom really smelly too. There was garbage on...

This hostel was great. Beware, it is a party hostel so if that is what you are looking for, you will not be disappointed. They also have a great space for meeting people with ping pong tables and computers and a BBQ with a patio. It is in a great central location and they can help you book all your... More

Stayed here one night before my Inca Trail trek. Clean rooms, decent beds, hot showers with good water pressure, good lounging in the common areas, lots of young travelers that like to party. Probably not good for light sleepers. Staff was really nice and helpful. The front desk guy let me check in super early free of charge because the... More

This is a party hostel at it's core. It's located just five minutes walking from the Plaza de Armas. The Wild Rover is like a mini colony in and of itself. The restaurant served delicious, economical food and at night became a bumpin' bar. I think my favorite part of the hostel, however, was the travel agency in the front... More

Brilliant hostel. Always very clean, especially the bathrooms. Lively bar and really good chill out courtyard with sofas and beanbags. Sociable place and a good place to meet lots of other travellers, with lots of English speaking too. Has computers for guests to use and decent wifi (for peru) although wifi is only in the bar and courtyard and didn't... More

This hostel was fantastic from the minute we checked in. If you like to party and meet interesting people, who are up for the crack 24/7, then this is your place! The bar is huge and the common areas are well looked after, the rooms are comfortable and provide a haven for when you're too pissed to stand up anymore!... More

I came here after a good experience in arequipas wild rover. Great location, close to everything, supermarket next door. Staff not as friendly as Arequipas but nice enough. Good bar with lots of free shots. As mentioned already, rooms are away from the noise and the beds are very comfy! Tourist desk good for booking tours but they seem to... More

I stayed here for several nights in the female-only dorm and had a great stay. Most dorms here have private bathrooms (toilet + 2 showers) which is a bonus. As with the other Rovers, this place is all about the party! Dancing on the bar and lay back shots are just par for the course here! If you don't feel... More
