Description:

The Point Backpackers Hostel can be found in the district of Barranco which is often referred to as Lima’s bohemian district. This is definitely a place for backpackers and students, it's a great place to hang out and meet other travellers. There are weekly BBQs and every night is party night!! There's always lots going on but it can get a bit noisy at times.

The hostal is close to the beach and offers great views over the Pacific Ocean. The large mansion house has more than 50 beds most of which are in dormitories although there are a few private rooms. There are also Point Hostels in Arequipa and Cusco.
