La propriété — Hostal Salvatore
Hostal Salvatore is a no-frills 3-star in central Lima, a block from the historic Plaza San Martín. The lobby is small and functional, with a reception desk, a few seats and a TV, and the vibe is practical rather than polished. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, safe base for exploring the city centre and don't expect extras like a pool or restaurant. The main appeal is location: you can walk to the Presidential Palace and cathedral in under 10 minutes.
Chroniques de Lima
Lima was founded in 1535 by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro as 'Ciudad de los Reyes' and became the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru, controlling much of South America for centuries. Its colonial heart still holds grand plazas, baroque churches and ornate wooden balconies, though a devastating 1746 earthquake led to a more restrained architectural style. The city expanded rapidly in the 20th century, absorbing waves of migration and creating a sprawling, often chaotic metropolis. Today, Lima is a gritty, dynamic city known for its world-class ceviche, vibrant arts scene and the contrast between its colonial core and modern Miraflores cliffs.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Lima →Meilleurs mois
April, May and October offer pleasantly warm days (22-25°C), low humidity and fewer tourists than the peak season.
Peak / Festival surge
January and February are the busiest, with domestic and foreign travellers escaping southern hemisphere winter, plus festivals like the Señor de los Milagros processions in October. Hotel prices rise 20-40% in these months.
La saison des épaules
September and November are good value: September sees steady grey skies but few crowds, while November offers the beginning of summer warmth and lower rates before December peaks.
Météo & Emballage
Lima's July is typically overcast and cool, with daily highs around 18°C and a persistent damp coastal mist called 'garúa'. Pack a lightweight jacket or jumper and a scarf for the evenings; you won't need shorts or a swimsuit.
Briefing de la ville — Lima
- The new Line 2 of the Lima Metro, connecting Ate to the city centre via Avenida Javier Prado, is partially open; check routes as it may ease traffic near the hotel.
- The Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI) on Paseo Colón has reopened after a major renovation, now housing an expanded collection of pre-Columbian and colonial art.
- From July 1, the city's 'Bike Lima' cycle-share system has a new docking station near Plaza San Martín, a 2-minute walk from the hotel.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostal Salvatore, 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 (away from the street). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but low enough for the lift to be reliable in a budget 3-star hotel with no mention of a backup generator.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor and 1st floor facing the street: Lima’s traffic and bus routes generate constant honking and exhaust smell, and ground floor rooms risk security issues from passersby.
Best views
Street-facing rooms on upper floors (3–4) may give a view of the Miraflores skyline or nearby rooftops, but the rear courtyard view is more private and less polluted.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 4 are quietest—farthest from street noise and lift machinery (typically on the roof or ground level), and less foot traffic from late-arriving guests.
🔊 Noise notes
Lima’s Miraflores district has heavy traffic until midnight, with buses and taxis blowing horns. The hotel’s location on a main avenue means street noise is constant. Budget hotels also often have no double-glazing, and thin walls transmit neighbour and corridor noise.
Insider tips
1) Arrive for check-in before 3pm to request a rear-facing room on floors 3-4, as they fill fast with repeat guests. 2) If you’re driving, ask about street parking availability—Lima’s parking is scarce and paid, and many 3-star hostals don’t have their own lot.
- 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
