You get what you pay for here. It’s inexpensive. If you go in with low expectations, you will be satisfied. If you are expecting something grand, this is not the place. Location wise it’s excellent and right by the beach. Wifi is also good. Overall, manage your expectations and you’ll be content staying here.

Great place for overnight in Paracas.
This was an excellent location, close to the boardwalk and the Ballestas Islands tours. We had a wonderful view of the ocean. The room was comfortable and clean, with an abundance of hot water. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating.

We had a nice room with a balcony towards the ocean. The room was very clean and the staff was friendly although They were hard to understand and they didn’t speak English. The breakfast was included and was very delicious too. All in all we had a great stay

Clean, basic, ocean view
The hostel is within 10 minuets walk from the bus terminal. The room had a balcony with a tiny ocean view as it was on the first floor. The was spacious and clean. They had a hairdryer on demand which was great. The breakfast was great and was served in the hotel with the same name on located on the other side of the street. Unfortunately, the toilet got blocked.

Expensive for what a private room in a hostel. No windows to the outside. Shower has no power. A little bit noisy as you can hear everything happening in the corridor like if it was in the room. Otherwise it was clean. Nothing special to say. The reception is on the first floor and the stairs are quite narrow, so not easy with a big suitcase.

The furniture were old. The floor wasn't clean enough. The bathroom was old and even though it seemed big, the toilet was placed so wrong that you had difficulty to used it since it had 1 feet distance from the wall. Old timeworn towels. Staff was friendly. The location was very good.

Quick stop in Paracas
An overnight stop to go on island tour in morning. Wonderful hostel, we got a sea view room which had a balcony. Lovely spacious room with a clean shower room. Also has an upper communal patio area. Breakfast is included and is in the hotel opposite. Very happy with room and hostel. Staff seem a little nonplussed though! But they where helpful, we left our rucksacks with them after checking out.

Smelly HOSTAL
There are two places with same name and owner. The HOSTAL where we stayed was path. Smelly room, due to nearby restaurants. Very noisy. The actual hotel, opposite the HOSTAL looked ok but pricy. Breakfast wad at the hotel and very skimpy, just a roll and cup of coffee. We were here for one night only to visit balestas isle.

It started ok, but ...
We will not be returning to this hostel and/or Frayles Hotel residence -- it left a bitter taste, the way our concerns were brushed off. When we checked in, everything was fine. The door is locked, you have to ring bell - except at night ... the main door was left open and no person at reception - anyone could walk in and door locks not too hard to open. really. It got worse next day -- we had to go across the street to sister hotel Frayles Residencies Hotel breakfast was late and horrible: coffee was like dirty water, bread was dry and not fresh -- we almost missed our tour due to lateness, when I was there at 7;13am and they would not tend to us, as we were 2 min early. We were not given option of eggs, which apparently other people were. The staff at hostel was apathetic - we paid at main hotel by credit card, but hostel staff kept asking for payment, w/o even checking that it was already paid. Asked for late check-out as we arrived late night before and not a minute -- they said they had reservations - but there was no-one there when I left at 3pm and I looked to check availability and there was plenty. They just wanted to clean the rooms and get out. No flexibility or even good will to check if possible. If they took care of details, this would be a really nice place to stay ... pity!

Clean and comfortable budget option in Paracas
Clean and comfortable stay in Paracas. Effectively the cheaper cousin of Hotel Frayles over the road. If choosing a place with included breakfast is a key factor for you, be aware that the included breakfast here is very small (juice, two mini bread rolls & bread and jam). Location was great, and Paracas is a new a beauitful seaside town.

Great location in Paracas, close proximity to the beach and boat tour. Friendly staff who is ready to assist even if English is limited. You should bring your own shampoo/conditioner/body washes and water smells like an ocean but I am pleased that I could get a hot shower.

Sunsets of Orange
Los Frayles is not a fancy hostal, but it is clean and comfortable. Our room had a great view that faced the square in front of the beach. There is no breakfast included with the room, but there are many restaurants and places to eat around the hostal. The beach is a block or so away. The owners of the Hostal own the tour boat that goes to Ballesta Island where the sea lions are and they offer a better price than all the other tour operators who sell their tickets. Although Paracas is a very small town on the coast, they have the most incredible orange sunsets you will ever see. The town of Paracas is worth a visit.

Room located on the second floor has a nice view
Room located on the second floor has a nice view. The only problem is that the windows/sliding doors do not have a screen to get protection from mosquitoes (zancudo in Spanish). If the windows are open to ventilate the room, friendly mosquitoes come to join in. There is not a fan or air conditioning, but overall the room was fine. A decent bed, a nice TV, access to free WiFi, very nice staff and a good breakfast included in the price. Breakfast is served across the street in a sister location called "Residencial Los Frayles." In Tridadvisor website, Hostal Los Frayles appears as offering a shuttle, but when I asked both, Hostal Los Frayles and Residencial Los Frayles, they confirmed that they don't have a shuttle service. I'll make this same comment in TripAdvisor, so they will correct it. Hostal Los Frayles only accepts cash. If one wants to pay with credit card, a certain percent will be added to the total, and, you would need to go across street to the sister location Residencial Los Frayles, to pay there.

Good and clean hotel in Paracas
Basci but nice hotel with friendly staff. Rooms have a good size. Breakfast is served in the other hotel in a nice setting. Location is great. Paracas is a small town and everything is walking distance. We walked 10 minutes from the bus station Cruz del Sur. Restaurants and bars are around too. Good choice for a night in Paracas.

Nice stay everyone friendly, close to the ocean. Large flatscreen was nice. Bathroom clean and nice tiled. I did not get a good night's sleep do to the many neighborhood roosters crowing at 3:30 or 4:00 in the morning. Dogs barking too

mala ubicacion, hostal basico y limpio
es un hostal un poco lejos del sector comercial de Nazca, en una calle fea, llegamos en la noche y nos dio algo de susto porque es un lugar solo, el taxista nos dijo que no podiamos salir en la noche a caminar por ahi. No hay una buena recepcion, pero las habitaciones son amplias,aunque basicas, nuevas, y el baño comodo, Las personas que nos atendieron fueron muy amables y una ventaja es que desde el hotel se puede reservar tiquetes de bus ya que se agotan facilmente.

El hostel está bien. Lo unico malo es que el desayuno te lo dan en otro lado (el hotel del mismo nombre). Además, no tienen ningun servicio, como por ejemplo pava eléctrica, para agua caliente.
