La propiedad — Hostal Posada Real 2
Posada Real 2 sits on a quiet Miraflores street, a three‑storey white building with a small, tiled lobby and a creaky lift. The vibe is old‑school Peruvian hospitality – clean rooms, reliable hot water and a breakfast of fresh papaya juice and bread rolls. It suits budget‑conscious travellers who want a central base without frills, a short walk from Kennedy Park and the Larcomar cliffs.
Crónicas de Lima
Lima was founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro as the City of Kings, capital of Spain’s Viceroyalty of Peru. Its colonial core shows in the balconied mansions of the historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The 20th‑century saw rapid expansion into districts like Miraflores, with their sea cliffs, green parks and 1990s commercial towers. Today Lima is a gritty, layered metropolis – the gastronomic capital of South America, where ceviche and pisco sours rule.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Lima →Los mejores meses
May, September and October – clear skies, mild temperatures and thin crowds. The winter gloom (June–August) starts to lift, making these months ideal for sightseeing and walking the Malecon.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is peak domestic and school‑holiday season. The hotel prices can climb 20–30% above shoulder rates. The main draw is the dry, sunny weather (winter in Lima is mostly overcast, but July offers brighter days). No major festival in July except the Fiestas Patrias (28–29 July) with parades and public holidays.
La temporada del hombro
April and November are the best shoulder months. Slightly cooler (20–22°C) and less crowded, with hotel rates often 15–25% lower than peak. April sees the end of the summer humidity; November has stable coastal weather before the rainy season starts in the highlands.
Tiempo y embalaje
Lima in July is overcast and humid, with a persistent drizzle known as garúa. Pack a light waterproof jacket and layers – a sweater for the mornings and evenings, and a thin long‑sleeved shirt for the damp afternoons.
Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Lima
- The new Metropolitano bus extension to the south (via the Panamericana Sur) now runs every 10 minutes from the Javier Prado station, 15 minutes from Miraflores, but expect weekend delays due to ongoing construction on the new Terminal Sur.
- The Larcomar shopping centre has reopened its renovated food court with five new cevicherías, including a branch of the popular La Mar chain.
- July is mid‑winter in Lima, so the daily overcast and occasional drizzle can cause flooding in low‑lying intersections near the coast – check local traffic apps before heading to the airport.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostal Posada Real 2, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor at the back of the building. These upper floors are furthest from street-level noise and the common areas, offering more quiet. Back-facing rooms avoid the main road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms, especially those facing the street. They get direct traffic noise from Lima's busy avenues. Also avoid rooms near the lift or stairs on the first floor, as footfall and mechanical sounds carry.
Best views
Back-facing rooms on upper floors overlook inner courtyards or neighbouring buildings — no expansive views, but quieter and more private. If you face the street, floors 3-4 have a partial cityscape but with traffic hum.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are quietest, with no street-level rumble and less foot traffic from the lobby.
🔊 Noise notes
Lima's streets are notoriously loud, with constant horns, bus engines, and mototaxis. The hostal's location on a main thoroughfare means street noise is a factor until late. The lift can also be audible on adjacent rooms, especially on floor 1.
Insider tips
1. Request a back-facing room when booking — the desk can assign it if available. 2. Bring earplugs regardless; Lima's noise ordinances are lax, and even quiet floors get sudden traffic peaks.
- 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

Dinero y moneda
Get a travel card →Peruvian Sol, PEN
Use ATMs from major banks (BCP, Interbank, BBVA) for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport or tourist spots – they give poor rates.
Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in supermarkets, restaurants, and shops in Miraflores and Barranco; contactless and mobile pay (Yape, Plin) are very common for smaller payments.
Restaurants: 10% service charge is usually included; if not, rounding up or leaving 5-10% is fine. Taxis: not expected, but rounding up is appreciated. Hotel staff: small tips (5-10 soles) for porters/maids.
Comer, comprar y viajar en un presupuesto
Cheap car hire →Local coffee shops often sell a basic coffee (café pasado, americano) for 5-8 soles.
Menu del día (set lunch) at a casual criollo eatery costs about 12-18 soles, including soup, main, and a drink.
A main dish at a Peruvian/pizzería/parrilla is around 18-30 soles at a simple sit-down spot.
Anticuchos (grilled heart), picarones (dough rings) and tamales are sold at street stalls near parks and markets, especially in Surquillo Market or around Kennedy Park in Miraflores.
Vea, Metro, Plaza Vea are the main budget supermarket chains in Lima; there’s also Tottus and Wong (mid-range).
For budget clothing, head to Gamarra (La Victoria) market for wholesale-priced items, or look at sales in the big malls like Real Plaza Salaverry or Jockey Plaza.
The cheapest way around is the Metropolitano bus system (S/3.20 per ride) or the Corredor buses (S/2.50). From the airport, take a local bus (Ruta Atocha or similar, under S/3) or the Airport Express (S/8) – avoid unofficial taxis.
Eat at market-style food courts (like in Surquillo Market) for cheap, authentic lunch; carry small denomination soles as many street vendors don't have change; skip the Miraflores oceanfront restaurants – walk a block inland for much cheaper menus.
