La proprietà — Hostal Los Cerezos
Hostal Los Cerezos feels like a friendly, no-frills crash pad in Lima’s quiet Residencial San Felipe district. The lobby is modest, with tile floors, a few armchairs, and a reception desk that doubles as a cafe corner. It’s a three-star that focuses on clean rooms, reliable wifi, and a decent breakfast – fine for travellers who want a safe, budget-friendly base without fuss. It suits solo backpackers or couples on a tight itinerary who need central access to Miraflores and the historic centre.
Cronache di Lima
Lima was founded in 1535 by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro as the ‘City of Kings’, capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru. Its colonial core, the Plaza Mayor, still holds the cathedral and government palace, but the city’s architecture is a jumble of baroque churches, 19th-century mansions, and brutalist blocks. In the 20th century, mass migration from the Andes reshaped Lima into a sprawling, often chaotic metropolis of over 10 million people. Today it vibrates around its coastal cliffs, ceviche joints, and a lively arts scene, while street-food stalls and old huacas (pyramids) remind you of pre-Hispanic layers beneath the modern dust.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Lima →I migliori mesi
January and February are ideal for warm, stable weather (26-28°C) with low rain, though crowds swell for summer holidays. March brings slightly cooler days but still solid sun.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is peak winter tourist month for Lima: cloudy, damp, but dry (no rain). It coincides with Peruvian Independence Day (28-29 July) and Fiestas Patrias – expect city-wide celebrations, parades, and fully booked hotels. Prices at Hostal Los Cerezos can rise 30-50% above low season.
Stagione di spalla
April and May are the best budget shoulder months: autumn – mild 20-23°C, low humidity, far fewer tourists, and hotel rates drop sharply after March’s final summer rush.
Meteo e imballaggio
Lima has a quirky microclimate – bone-dry but perpetually grey and misty from May to November (the garúa season). Pack layers: a lightweight fleece or jumper for mornings and evenings, plus a windproof jacket, because that coastal damp chill sneaks in fast.
Briefing della città — Lima
- Lima's new Metro Line 2 extension is partially open, but construction along Avenida Aviación still causes traffic snarls in central districts; allow extra time for trips to the airport.
- The Malecón coastal path in Miraflores has been fully repaved, with new bike lanes and viewpoints – great for a morning run or sunset stroll without construction detours.
- July’s Fiestas Patrias (28-29 July) mean city-centre road closures and packed bus services; book any long-distance transport well in advance or risk sold-out tickets.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostal Los Cerezos, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor facing the interior courtyard. These floors are high enough to avoid street-level commotion and the courtyard side cuts out the noise from Avenida Javier Prado Este, the main road outside. Typically quieter and more private.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first or second floor facing the street. First-floor rooms near the reception or breakfast area can pick up footfall and kitchen noise. Street-facing rooms on lower floors will hear traffic from Javier Prado Este, especially during rush hours.
Best views
Street-facing rooms on floors 3 or 4 give a limited view of the avenue and surrounding Miraflores residential blocks, but no ocean from this address. Courtyard rooms overlook the hotel’s inner patio—nothing special, but peaceful.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4. Five storeys total with no lift (walk-up), so the highest floors see less foot traffic and noise from other guests moving between floors.
🔊 Noise notes
Lima’s traffic is constant and drivers honk freely. The hotel sits on a main artery (Avenida Javier Prado Este), so expect low-grade road hum day and night. No bar or club on-site, but weekday breakfast starts around 7am—guests above the dining area will hear chairs scraping and chatter.
Insider tips
1. Because there’s no lift, ask for a room on the second floor if you’ve got heavy bags—staff might help carry them up. 2. Breakfast is included and simple (coffee, bread, eggs) but fills up fast between 8 and 9am; get there early to avoid the queue.
- 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
