We stayed in the Basadre for around 2 weeks. Room was clean, laundry service very efficient and on time - OK it is not modern - you want modern you pay the extra 100 bucks for the Marriott or something. Patricia, the jefe, arranged our trip to Cuzco and Macchu Picchu (3 days) for a lot cheaper than I was prepared to pay trying to arrange it myself. Staff were excellent and helpful; the hotel is in a nice secure area and we felt very safe in walking around to the resturants and shops in San Isidro. Basadre provided a driver to picvk us up on arrival and we ended up using him most days ot take us on day trips around Lima, he was also very good at restaurant choices. Buffet breakfast was great; evening meals were very nice though the service was a bit haphazard, but you get what you pay for. In the main the hotel is quiet though during the week it is used mainly by business types. We enjoyed it and would go back again if we were to visit Lima again. Well done Basadre!!

First the negative: We had room 202, and it looks like it had never been updated. The bedspread was a gold number right out of the 70s. My pillow was so incredibly lumpy I woke up with a headache. The mattress was comfortable. There was no light over the vanity/sink area - it was behind you, so impossible to put makeup on. The garden area was pleasant, however the pool looked like it needed some attention.

On the plus side: Staff was pleasant, they made us tea when we arrived. Breakfast was tasty. The neighborhood was quiet at night and we walked around and saw the nearby embassies and Huaca Huallamarca.

I had an amazing experience with Basadre Suites Hotel , the taxi that the hotel provided had a fair price and came on time .The girls from the front desk were so kind an speak perfect english , the Buffet Breakfast had many options , I think is a plus and the food were great I tried a LOMO SALTADO that a is tipical peruvian dish, My room was nice and have a view to the garden. I deffinetly recomended.

*Let me start by saying that we only spent 5 hours total at Basadre Suites so my review may not be generally fair, but this was my impression*

Due to flight delays from Miami, our arrival to Lima was at midnight. I had confirmed a transfer with the hotel in advance and also sent them an email from the Miami airport letting them know that our flight had been delayed and the actual flight numbers. One would expect that the hotel would have been capable of tracking a flight and having the driver be at the airport when our flight finally did arrive. Once clearing immigration and customs in Lima we fully expected to find a driver waiting for us, this was not the case. After being harassed by taxi drivers I finally found a taxi that would call the hotel and get directions since their location is somewhat obscure. Total cost $33 usd, we were robbed, but relieved to be at a hotel. Upon checking into the hotel the hostess asked us how much we paid, when we told here she just kinda laughed. After giving us a room (we booked a queen bed) which had two single beds we finally were able to sleep for 5 hrs before our plain to Cusco. The hotel property seemed nice, the breakfast was ok and they did have a transfer to the airport for us although we were still charged the full $23. I would not stay here again as there are plenty of options in Lima.
