Great place to stay.

Very very good. Viajero hostels in general seems to be a very reliable place to stay. Localization: Amazing. Cowork: Amazing. Spend 4 days working from there and it pretty good. Internet connection could be better. Rooftop: Very very good. Better then many restaurants. Staff: Very very kind! Features: Great. The option to buy a bottle to fill up with water for free is amazing and a tip: I'm currently duing this review from the Viajero in Lima and you can use the same bottle. Breakfast: Very good. I thought it was expensive when I saw the price. But it's big and really tasy. What could be better: Internet connection Organzization on the rooms - lack of organization makes people leave all their stuff everywhere.
