A charmingly un-modernized hotel, with clean amenities, but the air conditioning was very limited and there were insufficient power outlets near the beds. A good choice for central Lima.

The hotel needs a solid refresh an investment if is is to remain a place where tourists and professionals will choose to stay while in Lima. Not good value for the money. The location is great of course, in the middle of historic Lima, besides that, the wi-fi is not stable/reliable, neither is the hot water in the morning. I would not stay again if I am to come back to Lima.

Lovely common areas and interesting to experience a piece of Peruvian history (lots of famous people have stayed there). Room was large and clean, but needed a major renovation. Staff friendly and helpful. Free drink tickets and a piece of birthday cake for my son. Ten minute walk to main plaza. 15 minutes to monastery and catacombs. Made-to-order breakfast had minimal options and mediocre food. Elevator broke down, so had to carry our heavy suitcases down three flights of stairs.

Grand with excellent staff but run down
Beautiful grand old hotel but a bit run down. My suite was above the restaurant, and loud music blared until late into the night, making it difficult to sleep. Wonderful restaurant and helpful staff.

Staff was exceptional!!!! Unfortunately the owner of the previously stunning property hasn’t made any improvements to make the hotel comfortable as you would expect from any basic hotel in the USA or any modern country. It lacks many basics like consistent hot water, air conditioning- did not work, room had a very loud plug in oscillating fan which drowned out any conversation you may have. Wood floors so rough I got splinters in my feet two different times even while wearing Socks. Bottom line, if you only stay here to sleep and for the location it may work for you. But if you get uncomfortable in humid and warm stagnant environments then maybe choose something newer and fresh

Very beautiful hotel, dated but it’s part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
No air conditioning, breakfast is very basic but you just cannot beat the location. Best location in Lima for food, night life and attractions

Its central location and historical significance to Peru was nice. As such itd be wonderful to see the rooms modernized for comfort. It was just too cold and bed very uncomfortable. The staff was very hospitable. For our group of 7, the dining at their restaurant was the highlight. Also, we noticed their bar with its upstairs balcony was a popular destination for locals.

This hotel is full of history! Many celebrities have stayed here, and the antique decor makes you feel like you’ve traveled back in time. The food was delicious, and they even prepared a to-go breakfast for us when we left at 4 AM—it was amazing! If you want to experience the charm of old Peru, this is the perfect place to stay.

I liked the retro nature of the facility - high ceilings and spacious rooms, not your ordinary tourist type of hotel - the hallways were long and empty which gave off a haunted house vibe - the food and bar drinks were exceptional - there was plenty to see within walking distance - an experience worth remembering
