La propiedad — Hostal Emily
Hostal Emily is a no-frills three-star in the residential district of Miraflores, a ten-minute walk from the clifftop parks and Larcomar shopping centre. The lobby is small, tiled and functional, with a front desk that speaks English and a seating area with a TV usually tuned to local news. It suits budget-conscious travellers who prioritise location and a clean, quiet room over hotel amenities.
Crónicas de Lima
Lima was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535 as the City of Kings, serving as the political and economic centre of Spain's South American empire. Its colonial core, centred on the Plaza Mayor, still holds baroque churches and viceregal mansions, while the 20th century brought a coastal expansion of parks and beachside districts. Modern Lima is a sprawling metropolis of nearly ten million people, known for its dramatic cliff-side malecón, a vibrant culinary scene that includes world-ranked restaurants, and a year-round coastal climate that rarely sees rain.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Lima →Los mejores meses
December through March are the warmest and sunniest months, with daytime highs around 27°C and clear skies. These months also coincide with the Peruvian summer holidays, so beaches and parks are lively but not unpleasantly crowded.
Peak / Festival Surge
January and February are the peak of the Peruvian summer, when locals flood the coast and hotel rates in Miraflores can rise 30–50% above the annual average. The main draw is the warm, sunny weather and the summer festival season, including the Señor de los Milagros procession in October (though that’s winter here).
La temporada del hombro
April and November offer milder temperatures (around 22°C), thinner crowds and lower room rates. The sky is often overcast in the mornings, but the sun breaks through by midday, making them the best compromise between comfort and cost.
Tiempo y embalaje
July is Lima’s winter: grey, damp and overcast but rarely cold (16–18°C). Pack a medium-weight jacket or fleece for the persistent coastal fog, and always bring a light scarf or buff to protect your mouth and nose from the fine dust that blows inland on windy afternoons.
Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Lima
- The new Line 2 of the Lima Metro is partially open, linking Ate to the centre; it won't directly serve Miraflores, but it eases congestion on the main bus corridor.
- Several blocks of the malecón in Miraflores are undergoing resurfacing works through June–July 2026; expect some diverted pedestrian paths and temporary noise near the Parque del Amor.
- The summer gastronomy festival Mistura has been scaled back and relocated to Parque de la Exposición in central Lima for 2026, affecting transport options and traffic around the city centre during late July.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostal Emily, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the second or third floor at the rear of the building (facing away from Los Tusilagos Oeste). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level bustle but low enough for easy stair access if the lift is slow.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any room on the first floor, especially those facing the street. Ground-floor rooms pick up passing traffic noise and pedestrian chatter from Los Tusilagos Oeste. Also steer clear of rooms near the lift shaft—older lifts in 3-star Lima hotels can be clunky and heard through thin walls.
Best views
The best view is from rear-facing rooms on upper floors—you might glimpse a bit of the residential neighbourhood or distant coast haze. Front rooms look onto a busy arterial road, so not worth it for the outlook.
Quietest floors
Second and third floors are the quietest here. They sit above street din but below possible roof terrace noise or water tank hum on the top floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Los Tusilagos Oeste is a working street in Lima’s Miraflores/San Isidro border zone—expect honking taxis, rumbling buses from dawn until late evening, and occasional street vendors. Next-door construction is possible in this growing area.
Insider tips
Check in early afternoon to bag a rear-facing room; the front desk often allocates street-facing rooms first to early arrivals. If you have a car, ask about the small off-street parking out back—it’s safer than leaving it on the street overnight.
- 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
