The Point Hostel Lima is situated in the popular Lima neighborhood of Barranco . Located inside the hostel is The Pointless Bar which is advertised as "for guests only." However, don't be surprised if a few local girls are hanging out late night with some of the male guests of the hostel.
The Point is within walking distance (a few blocks) of a number of great restaurants and a strip of all-night bars and discos. The hostel arranges pick-up and drop-off service to and from the airport (for a fee), will call a cab for local trips, and will assist in making travel arrangements as well as reservations at the The Point Hostel Arequipa.
The rooms at The Point Lima vary greatly with the double rooms located adjacent to the grassy courtyard. Across from The Pointless Bar . The kitchen was clean when we stayed there and the bathrooms were co-ed.
If you're looking for a quiet night's sleep, The Point Lima is not your best bet. However, if you are looking for Party Central, you don't have to look any farther than the backyard.
