La propiedad — Hospedaje Sol
Hospedaje Sol is a no-frills three-star hotel in central Lima, a short walk from the Plaza de Armas. The lobby smells faintly of floor polish and feels more functional than warm, with plastic plants and a tired reception desk. It suits budget travellers who want a safe place to sleep and a good location, not atmosphere or amenities. You’re here to explore the city, not hang out in your room.
Crónicas de Lima
Lima was founded in 1535 by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro as the ‘City of Kings’. Its colonial core still features baroque churches and wooden balconies, though much of the centre was rebuilt after the 1746 earthquake. The 20th century brought modernist and brutalist architecture, especially along the coast. Today Lima is a sprawling, chaotic metropolis of 10 million, where pre-Columbian ruins sit next to glass towers and cevicherías. Its cultural identity is a fierce mix of Indigenous, Spanish, African and Asian influences.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hospedaje Sol, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a top-floor room at the back of the building, away from the street. These are quieter and have better natural light.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor near the reception or common areas — they pick up lobby noise and foot traffic. Also skip rooms facing the front if the hotel is on a main road.
Best views
With the hotel on a central Lima street, ask for a high floor with a side or rear window — those rooms may have a glimpse of the city skyline or a courtyard rather than just the building opposite.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and above (if the building has them) are typically quieter due to less street and lobby noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Lima’s streets can be busy with traffic, taxis honking, and music from nearby shops and restaurants. If the hotel is on a main avenue, front-facing rooms will be loud, especially at night.
Insider tips
1. If you arrive by car, ask about nearby street parking or a garage — many 3-star hotels in central Lima don’t have dedicated parking. 2. Request a room on a floor with a good WiFi signal — older buildings can have dead spots on lower floors.
- 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
