What guests write
Guests mostly talk about Óscar and Chela: they say you feel at home. They value being a block from the sea and right in the centre, the fair price, the cleanliness and the hot water, and the café-bar downstairs. They describe simple rooms in an old house with balconies. The complaint that comes back: at quiet hours there may be nobody at reception.

A special place that combines art and lodging, with a warm welcome from Mr Al Pacino. And about Oscar, a great host and a lover of the arts. This hotel is in a spot where you are a step away from everything: restaurants, banks, the beach and the market.

I love this hostel and Pacasmayo. Both radiate warmth. The house has a warm and comfortable atmosphere thanks to the owners, the interior, the café and the shop. And it is very well located, right in the centre, quiet, one minute from the sea. Pacasmayo is a normal, lively coastal town, not spoiled by tourism, with a beautiful pier and a wide beach. Perfect for resting or for windsurfing.

Great place! Ideal for backpackers. If they do not answer the phone, go anyway, Mr Oscar is ready to receive you. It is one block from the sea, highly recommended!

Excellent place, it has a shop and a small room to enjoy a few beers with friends, and they also have a really beautiful hotel, at a fair price and in the centre of Pacasmayo, a block from the beach.

I didn't stay at the hostel, but used the little bar: friendly and not expensive.
