1900 Backpacker's Hostel sits in Lima Historic Centre, one of those discreet hostel additions that travellers tend to bookmark before the rest of the city catches on. Geographically speaking it's a short ride from the main sights, and the reasonable location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Rooms feel modest; the touches travellers mention most are a relaxed bar, and the comfort feedback has been uneven. On the social side of things, a bar that gets used by guests rather than just photographed is what most guests end up mentioning. With well over 2,900 reviews on the books and a strong average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Pricing has been sitting near €7 a night and the value score puts it in a strong-value bracket compared with similar properties. Stack 1900 Backpacker's Hostel against the better-known names in Lima and the trade-offs become genuinely interesting.
