Pirwa Hostels is a chain in Peru. This one happens to be the nice one. Unlimited Wi-Fi and hot water, high-ceilinged rooms, breakfast, drinks, and snack shop available just about any time any day, house music during the day, disco music on the weekends, great location. At about $7.50 per night. I like Peru.
Yes, the open courtyard meant it got pretty chilly at night, but it also meant that is was just pretty all the time.
A casual game of ping pong, anyone?
There's the back courtyard, also surrounded by rooms. I'm fairly certain this is the biggest hostel I have ever stayed in. And yes, that white sign is for the co-ed bathrooms. I don't know why they're holding hands.
My particular room was an 8-bed. The cleaning people always made our beds for us, which I found creepy at first, until they didn't do that in the hostel in Lima. Only then did I realize how nice it was that all the beds were always made... Anyway, yes, the person on the top bunk could actually sit up without hitting their head. They could probably have stood up, they had more space than the bottom people, tho we had nothing to complain about.
Because chocolate, water, beer, and Gatorade are the only things one could want to buy late at night after the snack bar and real bar were closed. Oh, and Sprite. At least they carried the best brand of bottled water. It could've been San Mateo or much worse. Cielo is the best, just in case any of you decide you want to make the trip down.
So maybe every hostel has a wall or a hallway like this, but I will always take pictures of them anyway. Granted, there were basically only Australians and Germans at the hostel, but the idea is nice, and the execution is also. Picture-worthy if nothing else.
