Point Lima Hostel is set directly on Avenida Larco in Miraflores, a short walk from Parque Kennedy and the malecón coastal path overlooking the Pacific, making it one of the best-located backpacker hostels in the neighborhood. The building is a converted multi-story property adapted for hostel use rather than a historic structure, with its standout feature being a rooftop bar that offers ocean glimpses and hosts the hostel's evening social scene.

One of Lima's most popular backpacker hostels, located in an excellent Miraflores spot on Av. Larco. The Point Lima offers clean dorms and private rooms, a rooftop bar with ocean views, a communal kitchen, and a social atmosphere that makes solo travel easy. Regular happy hours, free pisco sours, and organized activities keep guests entertained.

Point Lima Hostel is set directly on Avenida Larco in Miraflores, a short walk from Parque Kennedy and the malecón coastal path overlooking the Pacific, making it one of the best-located backpacker hostels in the neighborhood. The building is a converted multi-story property adapted for hostel use rather than a historic structure, with its standout feature being a rooftop bar that offers ocean glimpses and hosts the hostel's evening social scene. Accommodation ranges from shared dorms of varying sizes to private rooms for those wanting more privacy while staying in a social environment. A communal kitchen lets guests self-cater, and there is no restaurant, spa, or fitness center, consistent with the hostel's budget backpacker focus. The social program is a defining feature: a free pisco sour on arrival, regular happy hours, and organized activities and tours build a strong sense of community among guests. Staff run a tour desk for day trips and city activities, and the atmosphere overall is upbeat and geared toward solo travelers and groups wanting an easy way to meet people while based centrally in Miraflores.
