財産 — House Inn Backpacker
House Inn Backpacker is a no-frills hostel in central Lima, aimed squarely at budget travellers and solo backpackers who want a clean bed, decent WiFi and a central location. The lobby is modest but friendly, with a small reception desk, a common area with basic couches, and notices for tours and bus tickets. Its USP is affordability and a relaxed, unpretentious vibe, not luxury or style. It suits anyone on a tight budget who plans to be out exploring most of the day.
Limaの歴史
Lima was founded in 1535 by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro as the Ciudad de los Reyes, becoming the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru. Its colonial centre retains a mix of Spanish Baroque and Andalusian architecture, with ornate wooden balconies and grand plazas, though much was rebuilt after the 1746 earthquake. Over the 20th century, the city exploded outward with informal settlements as rural migrants flooded in, creating a sprawling, chaotic metropolis of nearly 10 million people. Today Lima is Peru’s political, economic and culinary powerhouse, known for its world-class ceviche, gloomy winter grey skies and a vibrant, often chaotic street life.
訪れるのに最適な時間
Lima完全ガイド →最高の月
December to March are the warmest, sunniest and driest months, with highs around 28°C and far fewer overcast days than the rest of the year. This is also peak tourist season, so expect crowds at major sites and higher prices.
ピーク/フェスティバル Surge
January and February are the peak months, driven by the southern hemisphere summer, school holidays and the Señor de los Milagros processions in October. Hotel prices can spike by 30-50% during these periods, and advance booking is essential.
予算肩の季節
April and November offer a good compromise: still relatively sunny and mild (22-26°C), with fewer tourists and lower accommodation rates. You’ll avoid the heaviest rain in the highlands if travelling onward.
天気&パッケージ
Lima’s climate is famously humid and overcast — from May to November a thick coastal fog called garúa can linger for weeks, with drizzle but rarely real rain. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and a warm hoodie or fleece, even in July, because temperatures hover around 15-18°C and the damp feels colder.
LIVE CITY BRIEFING — Lima
- The new Lima Metro Line 2 extension is partially operational, connecting Ate to central Lima, but work continues and service interruptions are common; check the latest route before relying on it.
- Miraflores and Barranco have introduced more pedestrianised zones on weekends, particularly along Malecón and near the Bridge of Sighs, which improves walking safety but reduces vehicle access.
- The historic centre’s jirón de la Unión is still being renovated with new paving and lighting, with sections closed to traffic — expect some disruption to bus routes and extra walking.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to House Inn Backpacker, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor at the back of the building, facing away from Calle Piura. These floors are above street-level bustle but still within easy stair climb (no lift noted for a 3-star). The rear orientation avoids most traffic and pedestrian noise from the narrow one-way street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any room on the 1st floor, especially those facing the street. Ground-floor rooms here pick up direct noise from Calle Piura — a busy-ish city lane with scooters and taxis — plus foot traffic from the hostel common areas. Also skip rooms above the entrance or near the staircase if you value quiet.
Best views
This is a budget hostel in a dense Miraflores block, so views are mostly of neighbouring buildings. The best view would be from a rear-facing upper room overlooking a courtyard or quieter side lane — not spectacular, but avoids the street wall. No ocean or park view here.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 through 4 (top floor, assuming a typical 4-storey Miraflores building). These are furthest from street-level racket and the ground-floor social zones.
🔊 Noise notes
Calle Piura is a narrow one-way street in Miraflores, so traffic noise is moderate but constant (taxis, mototaxis, delivery vans). Weekend evenings see bar-goers from nearby Parque Kennedy (5 mins walk). The hostel's lack of a lift means foot-traffic on the stairs is audible in rooms near the stairwell. Also, expected hostel sounds: people coming in late, kitchens, common room chatter.
Insider tips
1. Request a room at the back (away from Calle Piura) when booking — this is a non-negotiable for sleep quality. 2. Check in early if you want a top-floor room: these are the quietest and grab a bit more air in Lima's humid climate.
- 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
