부동산 — El Dolar II
El Dolar II is a no-frills, family-run hotel in central Lima, close to Plaza San Martín and the historic centre. The lobby feels like a modest 1980s Spanish-style townhouse: terracotta tiles, ironwork and a quiet, practical atmosphere. It suits budget-conscious travellers who need a clean bed near the main sights, not luxury. The USP is its location — walking distance to the Government Palace, Cathedral and the buzzing Jirón de la Unión pedestrian street.
Lima 연대기
Lima was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535 as the ‘City of Kings’, becoming the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru and the richest city in Spanish South America. Its historic centre retains colonial and republican architecture, including wooden balconies and ornate churches like the San Francisco monastery. The 20th century brought modernist districts such as San Isidro and Miraflores, the latter now the upmarket coastal hub. Today Lima is a sprawling metropolis of 10 million, known globally for its ceviche and its layered identity: colonial grandeur alongside informal markets and a vibrant contemporary art scene.
방문하기 가장 좋은 시간
Lima 완전 가이드 →최고의 달
December to March: summer in Lima means clear skies, warm sea breezes and a lively vibe on the Malecón. These are the best months for beach days and outdoor dining, with fewer tourists than in July.
Peak / Festival Surge 근처 오락거리
January and February are the hottest, busiest months for domestic tourism, plus the Feria del Libro and various concerts. Hotel prices rise 20–40% compared to winter, and El Dolar II is often booked by Peruvian families visiting the capital.
Budget Shoulder 시즌
April and November: mild weather, lower humidity and good airfare discounts. The fog of winter hasn't fully set in, and crowds are thin. Great for exploring museums and food tours without the summer crush.
날씨 & 포장
Lima sits on the Pacific and its climate is dominated by the Humboldt Current — expect persistent grey drizzle from June to September (the ‘garúa’). Pack a light waterproof jacket or a hoodie, even if the forecast shows sun; the city is often overcast with fine mist in winter mornings.
City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Lima
- The Barranco district’s Bajada de los Baños has been renovated with new public murals and improved lighting – good for evening photography walks.
- Lima’s airport expansion continues; Jorge Chávez International Airport remains operational but expect potential traffic delays on the access road until the new terminal opens in 2025.
- The city introduced a new bus lane on Avenida Abancay, cutting journey times from the historic centre to Miraflores, but also causing short-term rerouting for taxis and ride-shares.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to El Dolar II, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor, facing away from the main street (Jirón de la Unión is a busy pedestrian and vehicular route). These mid-level floors avoid ground-floor street noise and are accessible by lift without being too high for quick stair access.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms on the first floor—they face direct street noise from pedestrians, taxis, and tour buses, plus potential kitchen/service sounds. Also avoid any room near the lift shaft on any floor, as the lift can be audible in adjoining walls.
Best views
Rooms at the rear of the hotel overlook the interior courtyard or neighbouring rooftops—quieter but with limited vista. If you can, a higher-floor front room (third floor or above) gives a partial view of the historic centre's architecture, but street noise is a trade-off.
Quietest floors
Third and fourth floors are the quietest—buffered from street level by two floors and from roof-level mechanical noise by being mid-building.
🔊 Noise notes
El Dolar II is on Jirón de la Unión, a lively pedestrianised street in Lima's historic centre. Expect daytime crowd noise, street performers, and early-morning deliveries. Traffic on adjacent Avenida Abancay adds a low rumble. Weekend evenings can be loud with restaurant/bar spill-out.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a room with an interior courtyard view when booking—much quieter than street-facing. 2. Bring earplugs if your sleep is light; the hotel's single-glazed windows are typical for a 3-star property in this area.
- 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

Use ATMs in Miraflores or San Isidro for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Jorge Chávez Airport and tourist-heavy spots like Plaza de Armas.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and hotels in Lima; contactless payments common in modern stores, but cash is king at markets and small eateries.
No strict rule; round up taxi fares, leave 5-10% at mid-range restaurants, and tip porters 2-3 soles per bag.
