The hotel has smaller rooms but what they lack in size they make up for in quality. It was clean, quiet, and in the upscale San Isidro section of Lima. The staff all spoke English and were exceptionally helpful. The only downside, if you call it that, is that it is so quiet. If you want lots of shopping and a lively night life you'll probably have to take a taxi.

My family just returned from a one week stay in Lima, at the Roosevelt Hotel, where we had the best service of any hotel we've ever stayed at.
Emiliano, Lizbeth, and the staff really provided exceptional and very personal service for our group. Every detail was taken care of the entire trip. When we went to Cusco for a few days, they did everything to take care of my elderly mother, who stayed behind.
This is a medium size hotel, with a small lobby bar. The hotel is well maintained, clean, and economical. Our stay included a breakfast buffet every day, which was good. The double room was on the small side, but the 1 bedroom apartment is actually 2 bedrooms and will sleep 4, with a nice kitchenette. The room had a free Internet connection, and there are computers with free Internet in the business center.
The hotel is within walking distance of the Conquistador monument in San Isidro, and there are shops and restuarants nearby.
For a quiet, comfortable stay in San Isidro, I highly recommend the Hotel Roosevelt.

This is a great, great hotel. One of the best I've stayed at in Latin America. The best part is the staff. They go WAY out of their way to make sure you are happy and will do everything they can to make sure you have a great stay. The group I was with was very demanding for the three weeks we were there and they never batted an eye. The rooms are modern and kept very clean. When/if I go back to Lima this is definitely where I will stay.

I realize that I am writing this review a little late (two years after the fact!) but just saw that this hotel has no reviews on Trip Advisor and feel it deserves one. We stayed at this hotel as my husband's family is from Lima and it's close to their home (San Isidro district), so it was very convenient. I lived in Lima for four months in 2003 and we also lived in this area, so I know it fairly well. The location is nice because it's close to the touristy area of Miraflores (about a 10 minute cab ride) yet is much quieter, residential, and, I would say, safer. The hotel staff were absolutely incredible - I don't think I have ever had service like that before. We had brought my parents, who speak no Spanish, along, and they were treated like kings and always spoken to in perfect English. The breakfast buffet was good, with a lot of selection, and there was free high-speed internet access and air conditioning in the rooms. The hotel is also close to a little 'villagey' area, with a few restaurants, post office, dry cleaners etc. I hope this helps and I hope you like Lima - it's a shock at first but it really is a wonderful city with a buzzing nightlife and great restaurants.
