“Stay away from this terrible hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

These people are rip off artists preying on foreign visitors. They rip you off in any way possible. The place is a dump, they try and charge top dollar. The staff are incompetent, taking me up in the lift to a room on the ground floor. They try and tell you that there is an "impuesto" whereas really they are ripping you off further. Foreign tourists are exempt from taxes in Peru hotels. Final analysis; do not stay in this hotel!

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2011

Good location in safe, walkable part of city. Staff was helpful in arranging a tour. Breakfast is big and hearty and was included in room rate.

“A bit grimy and noisy - good tour desk though.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2011

I only stayed here one night, but I was very disappointed with this hotel as it had been recommended to me. I arrived late at night, and my room lock was not the best and elevator scared me so much I took the stairs every other time! The room was quite worn but I guess it was reasonably clean.

I normally sleep quite well but I hardly got a wink of sleep that night, noises from outside, including a poor man going through the bins below my room at 3am.

Breakfast was adequate but not as good as I had heard it would be.

Staff were quite helpful, although I didn't call on their services much. The transfers and tours arranged were of a very good quality though - the most redeeming feature of this hotel.

All in all a disappointing stay, but who knows, I may have just had a bad room on a bad night, as I had heard good things about this hotel.

“Unhelpful staff and noisy room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2009

A noisy hotel with poor service.
Tone was set when free pick up from the airport to the hotel turned out to include a one and half hour wait at the airport while the driver - who told us he would be one minute - left us sitting in the car while he collected another guest at arrivals.
Given we were only in Lima for one night this took quite a chunk out of the day. Although an apology would have smoothed things over this was not forthcoming.

Room was a good size, clean and comfy but windows were thin and lots of noise from outside.
A request for a room service resulted in no service at all.
As others have mentioned breakfast was generous and varied but appeared to be comprised of left overs from last nights dinner. Roast pork and apple pie???
Decent location in Miraflores but would never return to this hotel.
