Not fancy but okay for a night or two

Hotel on dark side street Not much to look at but it's a stones throw from main square. Due to late flight we arrived at 4am Nice man let us in to room immediately and we did paper work I am. Room small but clean especially bathroom. Lots of hot water, good pressure . Overall place abit worn Breakfast average for budget hotel. Compared to price of other hotels in Lima this is good value for price. One tip if you need to leave early in am make sure they know in advance as door street was locked still at 530 when we had to go to catch bus.

The location was great, except that it wasn't: steps from the central plaza of Lima, but the new mayor has decided this area will be pedestrian, so no taxi access; you have to haul your bags a block or two to get to the cab, and traffic to that point was awful. Housekeeping was mixed; fine the first night, spotty the second, and they failed to show for our last day there. There was only one English speaker in the hotel, but when he wasn't there, we made do with Google Translate. Breakfast was simple, but quite good.

The location is perfect for being in the old town, right by Plaza Mayor and the pedestrian streets where there are loads of shops and cafes. The room had no proper window but was perfectly fine for sleeping, as while in Lima there's lots to see and do. The breakfast was good with freshly squeezed orange juice and warm buns, and good coffee. Nice staff too.

Great service

It was really central and it was easy to walk everywhere. Really good service, this girl Melissa speaks fluently English and can help you with all your questions. The room had no window and that was the only downside but overall definitely worth a stay. Cheap, clean and only 20sek from the main square. And thumbs up for Melissa!

Booked a stay here through Expedia. Upon arrival late at night after my flight they say they made a mistake and gave my room to someone else. I then had to last minute around midnight go around looking for a new hotel with availability. Get your stuff straight !

Blink and you'll miss the entrance

Blink and you will miss the single width doorway which is the entrance to this small hotel just 20 metres from the Plaza de Armas. Book Rm 301 and if you can stand the traffic noise - if you're present on a festival day - your room's window will give you a great view of the processions which will go by below. Friendly relaxed staff - good breakfast delivered to your room if you want it and the wifi was mostly ok

Disappointing hostel by the Central Square

In the photos, the "hotel" looks nice (yes, in Expedia it shows as a hotel but it is actually a hostel). When you get there you will find an unpleasant surprise. The pillows feel they are filled with newspaper, the sheets look 10-years-old with stains that reflect their long life. Would not recommend this hostel at all. Not even from a price perspective, because it isn't cheap given what you can find on better places of the city for the same price.

Location excellent

If you aren't high maintenance and are looking for a convenient location at a decent price, this is a good bet. Be ready for plenty of traffic noise, honking, and other street noise if you are in one is the outward facing rooms. We were able to haggle down the price because we were told we had to vacate our room by 8am due to a SNAFU with booking through Expedia (which we are learning is not uncommon in Peru). In the end, we didn't have to check out early after all and were told we could stay til regular check out time.

Basic but in a great location

This is a pretty basic hotel but in a fabulous location right in plaza mayor. The staff were friendly but did not speak English. My room was a bit weird with the window opening on to a hallway - but there was a curtain and a good fan and I slept well

Next to Plaza de Armas

The location, was a good location, but on the weekend, you will have to get used to all the noise from the late night crowd. Also, some rooms may not have Cable television.
