Piura - Hostel Las Arenas

The hostel is unresponsively to use fake price. I booked Hostel Las Arenas through hihostels.com for 1 night (2016-08-13 to 2016-08-14) and paid for the deposit. After arrival, a staff told me that the minimum room rate is s/90 (~US$27). This is much higher than the origenal rate US$18.2. When I check-out, a staff ask me to pay s/90 and told me that the hostel cannot recognize the deposit. The staff did not open the gate and detained me. I have no choice and finally paid s/90 at 06:00 and left.

Great location, clean and comfy beds. The breakfast was adequate (usual S.American breakfast of bread and jam but they accommodated us with tea and milk). The staff were really helpful in our onward journey. The pool looked good, but it was fairly quiet (although off season).

A nice hostel in a good location. Some electric sockets in the rooms need to be repaired, as they now stick out of the wall. The place is described as a hostel, but it looks more like a hotel and I was nicely surprised to get a single room.

Windows didn't have screens and had to be closed at night, was a little pricey for what was provided, but other than that, it was a secure building and a decent place to stop for the night while passing through Piura.

Very nice Hostel in a nice colonial building. It rather feels like a Hotel than a Hostel. Rooms are beautiful & the place is conveniently located close to the city. Only drawback: the quality of the mattress was not very good, it was a little bit worn out. But all in all a recommendable place.
