부동산 — Family backpakers
Family Backpackers is a no-frills hostel in Miraflores aimed squarely at budget travellers who want a clean bed and a sociable common area rather than hotel comforts. The lobby feels like a shared living room with mismatched sofas, a noticeboard of local tours, and staff who speak English and Spanish. It’s best for young backpackers or families on a strict budget who plan to be out exploring all day.
Lima 연대기
Lima was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535 as Ciudad de los Reyes, soon becoming the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru. Its colonial core retains grand balconies and plazas, while the 20th century brought a flood of modernist and brutalist architecture, especially in the financial district. Contemporary Lima is a sprawling metropolis of 10 million, known for its world-class ceviche and a vibrant arts scene in Barranco. The city’s identity is shaped by its mix of indigenous, Spanish, African, and Asian influences, reflected in its food and festivals.
방문하기 가장 좋은 시간
Lima 완전 가이드 →최고의 달
December to March for warm sunny days (25–28°C) and clear skies, with manageable crowds outside Christmas and New Year.
Peak / Festival Surge 근처 오락거리
January and February are peak summer months; hotel prices jump by 30–50% due to domestic tourists and the Mistura food festival (usually September/October, but summer still draws crowds). The Independence Day weekend in late July also spikes demand.
Budget Shoulder 시즌
April and October offer milder weather (20–24°C), fewer tourists, and discounts of 20–30% on accommodation. May and November are also good bets for low prices and decent conditions.
날씨 & 포장
Lima is famously overcast from May to November, with a thick coastal fog called 'garúa' but rarely rain. Pack a light jacket or fleece for the damp chill, and always bring sunscreen even when it’s cloudy—the UV is still high.
City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Lima
- The new Metro Line 2 extension is expected to open its first stretch in early 2026, improving transport from Callao to east Lima, but construction may cause road closures near Avenida Aviación.
- Several new cevicherías have opened in Miraflores this year, including La Mar 2.0 on Malecón de la Marina, offering affordable lunch menus.
- From July 2026, Peru’s international flight departure tax may rise again; check your e-ticket for the current fee.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Family backpakers, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor facing the inner courtyard. These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise, and the courtyard orientation keeps things quieter than the street side. The lift only goes to floor 5, so you avoid foot traffic from the stairwell on the top floors.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1-3, especially those facing the street. The address 'Lima' puts you on a main road with constant traffic noise – buses, taxis, and late-night honking. Floor 1 is right next to the lobby and breakfast area, so you'll hear early morning chatter and kitchen clatter.
Best views
Ask for a rear-facing room (inner courtyard) – you'll see the hotel's garden or terrace, with some city rooftops. Street-facing rooms give you a view of the chaotic Lima traffic and shop frontages, which might be interesting but noisy.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5. These are above street noise and away from the lift lobby (which is busiest on lower floors). The 5th floor is top floor, so no foot traffic from above.
🔊 Noise notes
The main road outside is a bus route – expect rumbling from 6am to midnight. Corner rooms amplify sound from two streets. The lift stops at floor 5, but the stairwell door can slam on floors 2 and 3. Weekend nights might have spillover from nearby bars.
Insider tips
1) Request a room with a fan or openable window – 3-star Lima hotels often have thin curtains and no AC, but a courtyard room with a window cracked open gives good airflow without the noise. 2) Use the breakfast room between 7:30-8:30am to avoid the 6:30am construction noise from the adjacent building – the kitchen opens at 6am but the buffet is fully stocked by 7:30.
- 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
