“Decent accomodations in a good part of town”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Hotel Carmel was the start/end point for our "comfort" class, 2 week tour with GAP Adventures. We booked a few extra days so we ended up staying at the Carmel for 4 nights total.

Pros: Very good location in Miraflores - close to shopping and food. (McD's is just around the corner if you're starting to get sick of the chicken and rice dishes.) Breakfast is decent - toast, yogurt, ham, cheese, fruit - better than some of the other hotels we stayed at. As far as noise goes - we were facing the street both times and ended up loathing Peruvian drivers and their fondness for honking... However I'm sure it could've been much worse had we stayed on the major streets. Staff is friendly and helpful (for the most part). Clean bathrooms. Effective A/C unit in each room. Free internet access.

Cons: Carpet is disgusting! Bed sheets are very thin and smelly. I think all rooms have been "smoking" at some point. If you can get over the smell and slightly cramped quarters of the regular rooms, then this is not a bad place at all.

My advice to you: Request any room that ends in "-01" - i.e. 401, 501 - that's the corner room facing the elevator - giving you a little more room to stretch out. Bathroom is 2x the size of a normal room.

“Wonderful- book now!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2011

What a great place. Hotel front desk was phenomenal. They know all the local bus routes and told me how to get to several places by combi! I had a wildly awesome time riding around. Location is the BEST. Miraflores is very safe, and you're a block from Mickey D's, Citibank, Dunkin Donuts, and any other comfort of home you can think of. Breakfast (eggs) was decent, coffee OK. Near several big supermarkets, for water and shopping and even dinner at a Whole Foods wannabe! Every bus stops at the Ovalo and just walking around Miraflores is a vacation. Easy to get downtown, by cab or combi. Room was very nice: new bathroom, comfy bed, very entertaining cable TV, safe in room, fridge. This place was home.

“It's worth the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2010

Stayed 4 nights and liked very much the service, quietness because is located in a low traffic street, but yet walking distance to main attractions. Hotel personnel very polite and always willing to help. Another feature very important to us is internet access, which was available at all time, no downtime,a router for each room.

“Suites are the size of an apartment with cooking facilities and jacuzzi baths.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2010

We enjoyed our stay here and felt the staff were pleasant, the facilities were good and the location was fine.

There is a great restaurant across the street as well as a fast food chicken place. There is a doorman and receptionist on at all times. The hotel offer a pick up service from the airport, which was very handy given a late arrival time from Newark.

All in all I felt this Hotel was great, however Lima is enormous, so don't expect to be minutes from the airport or city centre - you need to taxi it most places.
