财产 — 1900 Backpacker's Hostel

A functional base in central Lima, 1900 Backpacker's Hostel occupies an old republican-era house with high ceilings, creaky wooden floors and a courtyard that smells of damp stone. The lobby feels like a colonial parlour turned into a hangout: mismatched sofas, a foosball table, and a receptionist who can tell you which combi to catch to Miraflores. It suits budget travellers who want a social vibe near the Plaza de Armas — you’re here to sleep cheap and explore, not to lounge in a spa.

Lima编年史

Lima was founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro as the 'City of Kings', becoming the capital of the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru. Its historic centre retains colonial balconies and baroque churches, though much was rebuilt after the 1746 earthquake. In the 20th century, the city sprawled outward, absorbing shantytowns and modernist high-rises. Today, Lima is a gritty, vibrant metropolis where pre-Columbian huacas sit between traffic jams, and cevicherías outnumber coffee shops. Its identity is a tense mix of colonial grandeur, indigenous resilience and chaotic modernity.

参观的最佳时间

Lima完整指南 →

最佳月

April and November: dry and mild, with fewer tourists than in July or August. April has clear skies perfect for walking the Malecón; November offers the same calm before the summer heat kicks in.

峰会 / 节日 Surge

July and August: Lima’s winter — grey, drizzly but not cold. This is Peruvian high season, especially for travellers combining the coast with Cusco. Hotel prices in the historic centre can double; backpacker dorms still book out. The Fiestas Patrias (28-29 July) bring parades and street food fairs.

预算肩部季节

September and October: winter lingers but crowds thin. Hostel prices drop by 20-30%, and you’ll get walk-in availability at restaurants. The garúa drizzle persists, but you can see the city without queues.

天气 & 包装

Lima in late June is overcast, cool and damp — the ‘winter’ means 15-18°C and persistent mist. Pack a fleece, a windproof jacket and closed-toe shoes; leave the flip-flops for the coast north of the city.

城市简介 — Lima

  • The Lima Metro Line 2 extension is still under construction, with partial opening expected 2027; avoid expecting metro service in the historic centre. Take buses or taxis via the app.
  • The Larcomar shopping centre in Miraflores has reopened its revamped food court with several new ceviche spots, good for an evening view over the Pacific.
  • Entry fees to the Monastery of San Francisco have increased to 15 soles (March 2025); check cash availability as card payments are not always accepted.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to 1900 Backpacker's Hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on floors 1 or 2. These floors are closer to the lobby and common areas, which means better WiFi connectivity and easier access to facilities. You'll also be closer to the main entrance, making it easier to come and go.

Insider tips

If you're planning to check in early, be prepared for potential delays. As a 3-star hotel, the reception may not be open 24/7, so it's best to plan ahead and check the hotel's check-in policy before your arrival.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
