La propriété — Hostal Lima
Hostal Lima is a functional, no-frills 3-star in the historic centre, two blocks from Plaza de Armas. The lobby is small and tiled, with a front desk that gets you sorted in minutes, no nonsense. Rooms are basic but clean, with reliable hot water and strong Wi-Fi. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want to be in the middle of the colonial action, not those seeking charm or quiet.
Chroniques de Lima
Lima was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535 as the City of Kings, becoming the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru. Its historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site, preserves baroque Spanish colonial architecture, including the Cathedral and San Francisco monastery. The 20th century brought modernist and republican buildings, and today Lima is a sprawling coastal metropolis of 10 million people. Contemporary culture mixes pre-Columbian heritage with a renowned food scene and a lively arts district in Barranco.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostal Lima, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Rooms on floors 3 to 5 at the back of the building — away from Avenida Lima — for less street noise and a better chance of a quiet stay
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on floors 1 and 2 facing Avenida Lima — direct street noise and possible fumes from traffic; also rooms near the lift shaft on any floor
Best views
Limited — ask for a south-facing room on floor 5 for a glimpse over neighbouring rooftops; otherwise the view is mainly the street or adjacent buildings
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 5 — the middle of a typical 3-star Lima hotel with a lift, high enough to dampen street noise but not too close to a rooftop bar or service area if one exists
🔊 Noise notes
Avenida Lima is a main road in central Lima, so expect traffic hum from 6am to midnight; buses and taxis honk frequently; the lift may be audible on any floor, especially in cheaper room stock
Insider tips
1) Arrive after 3pm to ask for a back-facing room in person — reception may accommodate if quiet. 2) Bring earplugs; a fan or white noise app helps mask the Avenida diesel rumble.
- 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
