Flying Dog

Lima


Of Flying Dog’s four Lima hostels, this is the best, featuring a lovely outdoor garden bar and 3rd-floor lounge area with expansive views over Parque Kennedy. Rooms have hardwood floors and lockers. Two kitchens make for a shorter cooking queue, and the included breakfast is taken at the terrace restaurant across the park.

The biggest branch, across the park, is rather dusty and run down.
