Das Eigentum — Hostal Imperio
Hostal Imperio is a no-frills 3-star in central Lima, a short walk from the Plaza de Armas. The lobby feels like a 1970s time capsule: dark wood, patterned carpets, a front desk that smells faintly of polish. It suits budget travellers who want a clean, safe bed in the historic core and don't need a pool or rooftop bar.
Chroniken von Lima
Lima was founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro as the City of Kings, and its colonial core still shows that Spanish grid plan. Earthquakes forced rebuilding in the 17th and 18th centuries, giving the centre a mix of baroque churches and republican-era balconies. Today, Lima is a gritty, bustling metropolis of 10 million, known for its world-class ceviche and the chaotic energy of districts like Miraflores and Barranco. Its contemporary identity is defined by a fierce culinary pride and a pragmatic hustle that blends indigenous, Spanish, African and Asian roots.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Lima-Guide →Die besten Monate
January to March: summer in the southern hemisphere, with clear skies and beach weather. Also July: the Fiestas Patrias national holiday fills the city with parades and street food, but crowds are manageable outside the main plaza.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and December are the busiest. July for Fiestas Patrias (28-29 July) and school holidays; December for Christmas and summer tourism. Hotel prices can double in those weeks. The Mistura food fair (September) also spikes demand.
Budget Schulter Saison
April and October offer cooler, drier weather, fewer tourists and lower rates. Discounts of 20-30% on 3-star rooms are common. The city feels less frantic, and you can eat at top cevicherías without queuing.
Wetter & Verpackung
Lima is a coastal desert with high humidity and a persistent overcast from May through October. Pack layers: a fleece or light jacket for the garúa (drizzle) and a sun hat for the rare clear day; leave the umbrella—drizzle is too fine for one.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Lima
- Metro Line 2 is partially open, connecting Ate to central Lima, but construction still snarls traffic in San Borja and La Victoria.
- The new Malecón de la Cultura in Barranco, a 2km seaside walkway, opened in late 2024 and is now a popular evening stroll spot.
- A major water supply project on the Rímac River may cause minor supply cuts in central districts through mid-2026; check with your hotel.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostal Imperio, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the 4th or 5th floor facing the interior courtyard. These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still within easy reach via the lift, and the courtyard side is quieter than the street-facing rooms.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors, especially those facing the street (Calle de la República). The 1st floor is close to the reception and breakfast area, which can get noisy early in the morning. Rooms facing the street pick up traffic noise from Lima's busy roads.
Best views
Ask for a top-floor room (5th floor) facing the interior courtyard for a pleasant view of the building's inner architecture and sky. Street-facing rooms offer a glimpse of Miraflores city life but with traffic noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 are the quietest, as they are above the street-level bustle and away from the main footfall of the lower floors.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a main road in Miraflores, so street noise is constant from early morning until late evening. The lift is a source of clanking noise, especially near rooms adjacent to it. Breakfast starts at 7am, so rooms near the dining area hear chair scraping and conversation.
Insider tips
1) Check in after 2pm to request a courtyard-facing room, as these are quieter and more popular. 2) If you're sensitive to noise, pack earplugs even for a courtyard room—the hotel's older construction doesn't insulate well from internal sounds.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
