La propriété — Hostal Rey
Stepping into Hostal Rey feels like entering a well-kept middle-class Lima home from the 1980s: polished dark wood furniture, a small reception area with a worn leather sofa, and the faint scent of floor polish. The USP is location — it sits on a quiet side street in Miraflores, a five-minute walk from Parque Kennedy and the Larcomar shopping centre. It suits budget-conscious solo travellers or couples who prioritise a clean, central base over boutique character.
Chroniques de Lima
Lima was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535 as the City of Kings, and its colonial core still shows in the ornate balconies of the Plaza Mayor. The 1746 earthquake levelled much of the old town, prompting a rebuild in the sober, sturdy baroque style that defined its later skyline. The 20th century brought a modernist wave, especially in districts like San Isidro and Miraflores, where glass towers now sit alongside Republican-era mansions. Today Lima is a tense but vibrant capital, defined by its coastal fog, ceviche culture, and the deep economic divide between its historic centre and the newer, wealthier suburbs.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Lima →Meilleurs mois
December to March: summer brings clear skies and warm, sunny days, perfect for coastal walks and paragliding over the cliffs. January is the peak of the festival season (including the Lord of Miracles processions), but crowds are still manageable outside the main tourist streets.
Peak / Festival surge
January and February are the busiest months, driven by South American summer holidays and the Festival de la Vendimia in March (though that’s in Ica, not Lima). Hotel prices in Miraflores can rise by 30-50% during these months, especially around New Year’s Eve. The Festival de la Candelaria (early February) in nearby Puno also draws travellers through Lima.
La saison des épaules
April, May and October offer the best balance: mild weather (20-24°C), low humidity, and hotel rates 20-30% cheaper than summer. Fewer tourists mean shorter queues at Larco Museum and the Cathedral of Lima.
Météo & Emballage
Lima’s famous ‘looming fog’ (garúa) blankets the city from May to October, making July feel grey and damp despite the 19°C high. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and a mid-layer — you’ll need both for morning fog and afternoon drizzle.
Briefing de la ville — Lima
- The new Metropolitano bus line extension to Chorrillos is now open, cutting travel time from Miraflores to the historic centre to under 40 minutes.
- Parque de la Reserva’s magic water circuit (Circuit Mágico del Agua) reopened after its nightly maintenance closure in April 2026 — still a good budget evening activity.
- The Miraflores boardwalk (Costa Verde) has a new cycle and pedestrian lane near the Larcomar junction; expect minor diversions during peak times.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostal Rey, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor, at the back of the building (away from the street). These upper floors are quieter and have less foot traffic from the lift.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 2nd floor directly above the main entrance or facing the street – street noise from Lima traffic, especially taxis and buses, can be loud. Also skip rooms near the lift shaft on any floor.
Best views
Request a room facing the inner courtyard or side alley – you’ll get less traffic noise and more natural light than street-facing rooms. No ocean or landmark view – it's a 3-star in central Lima, so expect city rooftops.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, as they’re far enough off the ground to reduce street noise but still accessible by stairs if the lift is busy.
🔊 Noise notes
Lima’s Avenida calls often have constant honking, bus rumbles, and street vendors from 6am-11pm. Sunday mornings are calmer. Earplugs are wise for street-facing rooms.
Insider tips
1. If arriving late, ask for a room on the back side – the lift and stairs can be loud until midnight. 2. Check in early (around 11am) to secure a higher floor; the hotel often fills the 2nd floor first with late arrivals.
- 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
