Hotels

Hostal José LuisWith only overgrown vegetation creeping over a high wall and no sign out front, this private youth-hostel-like B&B has operated on word of mouth for nearly 20 years. Deceptively large, with a capacity for nearly 60 guests, it’s one of the cheapest places in Miraflores. It’s secluded in a quiet residential part of the district, a 10-minute walk from Parque Central and its hubbub of nightlife and shops.

As the name would indicate, there’s a family feeling here, with cooking and laundry facilities. The common rooms are busy with furnishings and patterned wallpaper, but many rooms have bunk beds, dorm-room style. All have private bathrooms and 24-hour hot water.
