“Watch your belongins at this hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I'm a tour leader and I have stayed many times at El Faro Inn. One of the last times my computer was stolen from my room and the guest next door lost a computer and a camera. The hotel staff acted slowly and idle as the theft could have been avoided if they respected their own rules. The main suspect of the theft was another guest who had been seen acting suspiciously but was not stopped nor checked when he checked out rushing just minutes before I arrived. After that the hotel has not been very helpful and has not taken any reponsability on the happening. I wouldn't reccomend this hotel at all.

“Great value option for Miraflores”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Me and a friend stayed a couple nights here during a recent Peru trip. When I saw the description as a 'hostal' I was a bit concerned but there are separate rooms and toilets for visitors. It is actually more of a hotel and very close to Lover's Park and walkable to some decent restaurants/bars (Huaraches and Brujas de Cachiche). The continental breakfast is limited to toast and jam/butter and there is just one computer in the lobby but it is a good option in a decent location.

“The location is good, the rooms are small”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2011

people found this review helpful

The location is in the residential part of the touristic neighboardhood of Miraflores, you can walk 10 minutes from the hotel and reach the center of miraflores where you can find restaurants, shops, and night live.
The place is very quiet and nice, and is near the ocean, you can go to run in the morning in the boulevard that is near the hotel where you can see the pacific ocean for the top.
The rooms are small but for sleeping is fine.

“OK Hotel but a little distance from shops & restaurants.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Hotel was clean & tidy and in a quiet street but with minimal staff and not that handy to shops & restaurants. Does not have a lift and the small ground floor café where a basic Peruvian breakfast is served is quite small so can become crowded. We stayed a night each at the start & finish of a tour which was OK but for a longer stay would prefer more resources.

Room Tip: The newer rooms on upper floors are fine if the lack of a lift is not a problem.

“no working toilet!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The toilet did not work for almost the whole stay until the last 15mins of the stay.
It had been reported many times to the receptionist but they seem to forget the inquiry and only got it fixed after speaking with the manager. The receptionist, Karla was particularly rude, defensive and unhelpful.
Given the other choices in the area, I would stay away from this establishment.
