La propiedad — Hostal Las Moras
Hostal Las Moras is a modest three-star budget hotel in Lima’s central Miraflores district. Standing in the lobby you get an old-school Peruvian atmosphere: dark wood reception desk, tile floors, framed local art and a faint scent of polish. It’s a clean, no-frills base for travellers who want safe, affordable lodging within walking distance of the Malecón coastal park and Larcomar shopping centre, without paying for hotel extras they won’t use.
Crónicas de Lima
Lima was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535 as the City of Kings, becoming the political and commercial capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru. Its colonial core still stands around the Plaza Mayor with baroque churches and carved wooden balconies. The city expanded massively in the 20th century, especially after the 1940 earthquake destroyed much of the old centre, and today Lima is a sprawling metropolis of 10 million people. Architecturally it’s a mix of Spanish colonial, neoclassical mansions and gritty modernist blocks. Contemporary Limeños are fiercely proud of their city’s world-class culinary scene and pre-Columbian heritage sites like Huaca Pucllana, a clay pyramid right inside Miraflores.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Lima →Los mejores meses
December to March — Lima’s summer, with clear skies, sunny days and 24–28°C temperatures. Ocean is warm enough for surfing at nearby beaches like Punta Hermosa, and the city feels vibrant with street food festivals.
Peak / Festival Surge
January and February are peak season due to southern-hemisphere summer holidays and the Señor de los Milagros processions in October (though that’s autumn). Hotel prices in Miraflores can double in January. Semana Santa (Easter week, usually March/April) also sees a spike in domestic tourism.
La temporada del hombro
April and November are excellent shoulder months. Rainless but cooler (18–24°C), fewer tourists, hotel discounts of 20–40%, and lower humidity than the garúa (drizzle) season from June to September.
Tiempo y embalaje
Lima has a unique coastal desert climate: it’s overcast and humid from May to October, but almost never rains. Pack a light jacket or fleece for the grey winter mornings and a windproof layer for the Malecón’s breeze; sunglasses are still useful because the sun can burn through the cloud by midday.
Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Lima
- Lima’s new Metro Line 2 partially opened in late 2025, significantly reducing travel time from Ate to Miraflores, though the full route is not yet complete. Check current station closures.
- The Peruvian government extended the state of emergency in several Lima districts (including parts of Callao) until March 2026 due to organised crime activity; remain alert in unfamiliar areas after dark.
- A new direct bus service from Jorge Chávez International Airport to Miraflores launched in early 2026, cutting taxi scams for budget travellers; use the official Airport Express Lima bus.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostal Las Moras, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the rear courtyard. These rooms get less street noise and have better cross-ventilation.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor near the reception area and any room overlooking the front street. The 1st floor suffers from foot traffic and the main street of Lima can be busy.
Best views
The best view is from a 4th-floor room facing the rear: you'll see the local neighbourhood rooftops and maybe a bit of the Lima skyline, free of direct street views.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, as they are far enough from both street-level noise and the rooftop (if there is one). The hotel likely has 4 floors max.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a main road in Lima, so expect traffic noise at the front. The lift and reception area generate some bustle on lower floors.
Insider tips
Ask for a rear-facing room when booking — it's your best bet for quiet. If you're in a front room, carry earplugs; the street can get lively until late.
- 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
