La proprietà — Hostal Kendall
Hostal Kendall is a no-fuss three-star in the residential district of Miraflores, a short walk from the clifftop parks and Pacific views. The lobby feels like a modest family-run guesthouse: terracotta floors, a small reception desk, and a quiet seating area with a TV. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, safe base rather than hotel amenities — think hostel comfort with private rooms and a basic breakfast of bread, jam, and coffee.
Cronache di Lima
Lima was founded in 1535 by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro as the City of Kings, becoming the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru and a colonial powerhouse. Its historic centre still holds 16th-century balconies and baroque churches, though 20th-century growth sprawled into districts like Miraflores and Barranco. After decades of political instability and terrorism in the 1980s, Lima rebuilt its economy and cultural scene, now known for world-class ceviche and a booming arts scene. Today it's a sprawling, traffic-heavy metropolis of 10 million, where colonial architecture rubs up against modernist high-rises and chaotic street markets.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Lima →I migliori mesi
December to March: Lima's summer, with clear skies and warm temperatures around 25°C, ideal for walking the Malecón and exploring outdoor markets. Crowds are manageable outside the Christmas/New Year frenzy.
Peak / Festival Surge
January and February are the busiest months for domestic tourism, plus the Señor de los Milagros procession in October draws huge crowds. Hotel prices in Miraflores can double during surf competitions or the Mistura food festival in September. Events drive demand from both locals and international visitors.
Stagione di spalla
April, May, and November offer mild weather (20-22°C), lower room rates, and thinner crowds at major sights like the Larco Museum or Huaca Pucllana. Good time for cheaper flights and accommodation.
Meteo e imballaggio
Lima sits in a coastal desert where humidity is high year-round but rain is almost non-existent — a light jacket for the daily fog (garúa) is essential even in summer. Pack layers and always bring sunscreen during the sunnier months.
Briefing della città — Lima
- The new Metro Line 2 is still under construction; avoid the congested Avenida Javier Prado loop and use the Metropolitano BRT or Uber for most trips.
- Miraflores has banned single-use plastics at parks and beaches from early 2026, so carry a reusable water bottle.
- Several museums, including the Larco, now require online advance booking for weekends — check their website (larcomuseo.com) before visiting.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostal Kendall, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floor 4 or 5 (top floor) facing the rear courtyard. These rooms are furthest from street noise and the lift. The upper floors also have slightly better light and less foot traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 (ground floor) near the reception or common areas – expect noise from the desk, breakfast room, and arriving guests. Rooms facing Avenida Antonio José de Sucre on any floor will get heavy traffic rumble, especially in rush hours.
Best views
Rooms at the back have a limited but quiet view of the inner courtyard or neighbouring rooftops. Front-facing rooms see Avenida Antonio José de Sucre – busy street life but nothing scenic. The top floor might have a glimpse of the hills to the east.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 (top floor) are quietest, particularly if you choose a room away from the lift shaft.
🔊 Noise notes
Avenida Antonio José de Sucre is a major road with constant traffic, including buses and taxis honking. The lift is likely a standard slow model – mid-floor rooms can hear its motor. Weekend evenings might have nearby restaurant or bar noise on the street.
Insider tips
Check in early to request a high back-facing room – these are limited. If you have a car, ask about street parking or a nearby lot; Avenida Sucre is tightly parked. The breakfast room is on ground floor – avoid rooms above it if you're a light sleeper.
- 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
