I stayed here in 2012 and was then forced to write a positive review on Tripadvisor, otherwise they would not give me back my valuables that were in their safe!! 
They turned on the pc and stood behind me in the lobby until I wrote the review. 
I stayed here 2-3 nights and the boy behind the reception offered to show me around Lima, I said fine. He showed me around and we had lunch. Later that night I went out alone and came home late that night. I had to leave my key at reception when leaving. When I came back and asked for my key to enter my room the reception guy said I could only enter my room if I kissed him?!?!!? I felt so uncomfortable as a solo female traveler, I yelled at him and demanded my key! Of course I did not sleep that night as I was worried he would enter my room. The next day was checkout and I did not want to leave a positive review but again as said above otherwise I would not have my valuables!! Really awful.

Uncomfortable! Harassed by staff.

This is first time at a hostel ever and it’s been a very nice experience.  I didn’t expect much and I was pleasantly surprised.  I was fortunate to be in a newly renovated room so as you see in my photos - it hardly looked or felt like a hostel experience.  The ladies that run this place are very nice and helpful.  If I needed something it was always fulfilled.

I like the location as it is walking distance to a few grocery stores and not to far away from the hustle of Miraflores.  

Overall, this place is very cute and quaint and I would come again and of course being in the newer rooms.  

Really great value!

Pleasant Stay

Floors were dirty and sticky, there was mold in the bathroom and no hot water.  The door to our room must have been punched in at one point as there was a board nailed to it, assuming it covered a hole. The bathroom door did not close and had no handle on the inside. Service was mediocre at best.

Not good at all

The ubication its great you can go everyplace just by walking around however the smell inside the room is horrible, the sheets are not changed everyday. The person who was at the reception the night we arrived was not well educated and was not that nice. There was not shampoo just 1 soapr if you wanted toilet paper or a towel you had to requested. It was not that comfortable.

Not that good

We arrived at the Casa Nostra at midnight from Buenos Aires.  I had called three times the day before with my name, had the names of the receptionists, but the women who worked at night, who was not Peruvian, gave our room to someone else.  She said my name was not on the computer (it was right there, she did not read it).  She said there are two little single rooms available.  I said no.
She finally found a small double room and there was one towel.  We took a walk at 1 AM to the ocean and when we came back, the gate was open , anyone could come in, and our key with room 4 written on it was on the receptionists table.  She was asleep even though we rang the bell several times.  We went downstairs and I said that we would leave in the morning, and she said 'you cause more trouble than you are worth'.  She then tried to make peace by offereing me someting 'to smoke' .  
In the morning I told the receptionist about the gate and the key.  They fired her.  She had skated int two weeks before after telling them she was in Europe for years and was on probation.  She never came back after she said sometimes we leave the gate open.  It was a lie.  I then told them about the 'smoke'.  I think they were very embarrassed.
Then they told me that I could only deposit my things in their safe until 3 pm, that no one had the key after that.  The next day I complained and they said that if I tell them beforehand, I can get things out after 3pm  .  They put us in a room that was full of mold on the ceiling .  It is dangerous.
There was no hot water most of the time.  Then, they told me that the safe was avaiable 24 hours a day.  Still no hot water most of the time, plus this mold stain on the roof.
When I left, the taxi driver told me that the 'hostal' had been closed down a year or so ago.
I don't know if it is registered as a hostal with the city.  I wonder.  It is disgusting, and I have been to Lima over ten times.  Every time I asked for the owner, they said he is on vacation.  Only one person knew his name.  Although the receptionists were smart , they acted as if we didn't exist.
I think this is a scary place and would not recommend it to anyone.  I see that the price has gone down on Trip Advisor but beware, they are  totally disorganized.  At least the night worker who 'skated it' two weeks before' was gone.  The maids were good, breakfast was good, but the place is truly dodgy and dangerous.  I say dangerous because of the mold in room 3.  I have photos.

horrible

I am an outdoorsman, I can rough it with the best of them, 
and then there's this place. When you first walk in you will enjoy a warm, humid, stail  smell of urine. The floors were sticky, the sheets were NOT changed everything was dirty and to top it off, there were dead cockroaches in the bathroom. One nice surprise, was the fermented urine left for us in the unflushed toilet! 
I really wish I was exagerating! The girls at the counter were unhelpful and not friendly. I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to stay here. We've stayed at several hostels across peru, though you can find flaws anywhere, this place is in a leauge of its own.
