This hostel was lovely. The staff were so incredibly helpful. And there was a great free breakfast. I would recommend this hostel if your only wanting a night or two nice and close to the airport. It isn't the nicest location but great if your just in transit. They even organize your airport pick up and drop off if you... More

The building is not nice or in a safe area, but security seems tight. The proximity to the airport is really the reason to stay at this hostel. I flew in to Lima at night and had an early flight out the next day so this hostel was perfect for my purposes. I would recommend it to anyone doing the... More

I spent 1 night while waiting to catch a flight to Cusco. It's walkable from the airport (depending on your comfort with walking at night --- it's very well lit but you never know) and they arrange to pick you up / drop you off from the airport (don't get excited, somebody will find you at the airport and take...

I stayed 1 night here. Like most I arrived late into Lima and was leaving early the next morning. We paid about $40 including the airport pick up service. The pick up service worked well, it may be a little more expensive then getting your own taxi according to one of the previous posters however the convience is well worth... More

I have held back reviewing places in South America until I have travelled for several months (inculding 2 months in Peru) in order to, hopefully, give a fair review, in the context of the city, culture, price etc. Pay Purix, this place would be average at best (not great) for $20 per night. At $45 dollars per night, this place... More

We chose Pay Purix for its proximity to the airport. Lima is a city of over 8 million people and in our research we found that most affordable hotels are nowhere near the airport. We elected to book their airport pickup service and were very happy with it. It was well worth the few extra dollars to know we would... More

I'll start with the not-great, to get it out of the way: the place was a little expensive (though we had to leave for our early flight and thus missed the included breakfast; this may have made the difference in our opinion of value), and the beds were the second-worst I encountered during six weeks of travel in South America...

While we stayed only one night, we found the staff to be very helpful. We ordered dinner in after a long flight at a very reasonable price. Nice lounge area with movies available, 2 computer terminals. Our double room with bath was pretty modern and spotless. We would agree with many reviewers, this is not the best location to base...
