After hearing warnings about staying in downtown Lima we decided to book a hotel in Miraflores instead and are so glad we did. We took a tour bus into downtown Lima one of the afternoons, and after being met with a riot and multiple people trying to coerce our group into a side alley, we decided to spend the rest... More

Small, nicely decorated and immaculate. Friendly, helpful staff. Within walking distance of the beautiful parks on the clifftops and the archeological site Huaca Pucllana. If you need more than this hotel has to offer you're spending too much time inside.

I had a pleasant stay at El Tambo. It's in a great location near shopping and food at the Larcomar. Safe & friendly neighborhood and quite lively. I would stay here again, Wi-Fi worked, the bed, linens, and room was clean, with flatscreen cable tv. There was a variety of things to choose from at breakfast, which was included everyday.... More

This hostel is located close to the new shopping mall in Miraflores. Convenient for groceries and access to other basic services. The room was clean. It had a flat screen TV mounted to the wall, wifi (in the room) and complimentary basic toiletries, which is quite luxurious for a hostel. The hostel however was quite far from the centre of... More

A very pleasant modern hotel in an upmarket suburb of Lima called Miraflores. It was a shortish walk to the seafront and in the other direction to the shops. It was quite a way out from the centre of Lima - 40 mins in a taxi! The rooms were not overlarge but well furnished and the wi-fi worked quite well.... More

We enjoyed our stay - found the staff to be helpful & polite. Rooms are basic, however you are not paying luxury pricing. Located in Miraflores was good walking distance to restaurants, shopping mall and main streets. Complimentary internet access was appreciated.

Had to carry luggage up the stairs. Room looked disappointing. No double lock on the door, just a push button. Had to place a chair in-front of the door for additional security. No air conditioner. No window, just a sliding glass door but needed to close and lock it for security. Very ugly ambiance. Plain and dingy. Bathroom needed updating... More

I have stayed in this hotel on trips through Lima both last year and this. It is in a safe area of Miraflores within walking distance of the ocean and lots of restaurants and shopping. The hotel is clean, safe, and the staff are professional and friendly. Free wifi and internet computers. Breakfast buffet is fine, too. Rooms vary in... More
