Traveler Reviews of Hostal Roma

No atmostphere

If you want to meet other travelers, I didn´t meet any here. Only one local guy. The front desk reception is cold and not very helpful. I´m here in the second half of June and thought there would be more backpackers. The bed was not clean, thank God I brought my own sheets.

Breakfast was not included!

And I had to pay US$5,00 for a small glass of orange juice, 2 thin slices of a hard bread, a very small portion of butter and a cup of coffee or tea. I took the coffee. It was awfull! Cold and tasteless! Of course I didn't have breakfast at the hotel the other days. If you walk five or four blocks you reach "Jirón de la Unión" and there you can have nice breakfast for the same five dollars.
