La proprietà — Hong Kon

The Hong Kon is a no-frills 3-star in central Lima, a few blocks from Plaza San Martín. Think beige tile floors, a small dark-wood reception desk, and the quiet hum of ceiling fans. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, safe base near the historic centre, not charm or amenities. You won't remember the decor, but you'll appreciate the 24-hour desk and the strong coffee in the breakfast room.

Cronache di Lima

Lima was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535 as the City of Kings, becoming the colonial capital of Spanish South America. Its historic centre is a Unesco World Heritage site, with 17th-century baroque churches like the Convent of San Francisco and sprawling plazas that give way to glitzy Pacific cliffs in districts like Miraflores. The city is now a sprawling metropolis of ten million, defined by its ceviche culture, misty winters, and a vibrant arts scene that emerged strongly after the internal conflict of the 1980s-90s.

I migliori mesi

December to March: these are Lima's summer months, with blue skies, warm days (24-28°C), and low rain. It's also high season for beach life and festivals, so book early.

Peak / Festival Surge

January and February are the peak, driven by summer holidays and the Señor de los Milagros procession in October (though weather is worse then). Hotel prices in July average, around 60-80 USD, but can double near tourist zones in summer.

Stagione di spalla

April and November are smart shoulder months. April still has residual summer warmth and clear days, while November sees spring bloom before crowds swell. Prices drop 20-30%, and queues thin out.

Meteo e imballaggio

Lima's July is winter: grey, damp, and around 15-19°C, with persistent coastal fog (garúa). Pack a fleece or light waterproof jacket and long trousers; leave shorts and sandals at home.

Briefing della città — Lima

  • Lima's new Metro Line 2 extension opened partial service in early 2026, improving journey times from the centre to eastern districts, but avoid the congested Avenida Abancay area during peak hours.
  • The Peruvian government reintroduced a tourist visa fee for US and Canadian nationals in April 2026 (approx 30 USD), payable on arrival or online before travel.
  • Several historic centre streets near the hotel are under cobblestone repaving works until August 2026, causing minor traffic detours and noise from 8am-6pm weekdays.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Hong Kon, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on floors 5 to 7 facing the inner courtyard. These mid-level rooms avoid street noise from Avenida below and are far enough from the lobby and bar to stay quiet at night.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on floors 1-3, especially those facing the street. Floor 1-2 suffer from both street-level traffic noise and pedestrian chatter, plus potential noise from the reception area. Floor 3 may get noise from the breakfast room or common areas.

🪟

Best views

Rooms facing the inner courtyard offer a quiet view of the building's interior and some sky. Street-facing rooms on floors 5-7 give a partial view of Lima's low-rise skyline and the busy Avenida below — but expect traffic noise.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 5-7 are the quietest — above street level, below the rooftop if there is one, and away from lift cable machinery which often sits in the basement or top shaft.

🔊 Noise notes

The hotel sits on a main avenue in Lima's centre. Expect constant traffic hum from 6am to 11pm, plus honking. Side-street rooms are quieter but look into neighbouring walls. Some rooms overlook a small park or plaza at the back, which can have street musicians or children playing until late. The bar on floor 4 (if present) can generate noise until 1am on weekends.

Insider tips

1) If you need quiet for sleep, specifically request a 'courtyard view' room when booking — most online systems let you add this note. 2) Breakfast is usually served from 7am; arrive by 8am for freshest fruit and bread. If the hotel has a small rooftop terrace, ask at reception if you can use it in the evening — it's often overlooked and offers a cool breeze.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Where to exchange

Use ATMs from major banks like BCP or Interbank for the best rates; avoid exchange booths at the airport or tourist areas, they have poor rates and high fees.

Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and hotels; contactless payments are common in supermarkets and chain stores but still less universal than cash street-vending.

🪙
Tipping etiquette

Restaurants: 5–10% if service charge isn't included (10% is standard for good service). Taxis: round up or leave small change if helpful, not expected. Hotel staff: 3–5 soles for porters, small tip for housekeeping.

Plaza Vea and Metro are the main budget supermarkets in this area; Tottus is slightly pricier but also common.

👕

Market stalls in the Centro de Lima (e.g., Mesa Redonda) or the Gamarra district for cheap local-brand jeans and t-shirts; avoid tourist stalls in Miraflores.

Eat market lunch menus rather than tourist-set meals. Use local buses instead of taxis for short trips. Buy water and snacks at supermarkets rather than kiosks near attractions.
