The Property — Daniel's Apart Hotel
Daniel's Apart Hotel is a no-frills, practical base in Lima's Miraflores district. The lobby feels like a functional business lounge — clean tiled floors, a small seating area, and a reception desk that processes guests efficiently. Its USP is the kitchenette in every apartment, aimed at independent travellers who want to cook their own meals and avoid restaurant prices. It suits budget-conscious couples or solo visitors who value location over luxury.
Chronicles of Lima
Lima was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535 as the 'City of Kings', quickly becoming the viceregal capital of Spanish South America. Its historic centre retains colonial balconies and baroque churches, though much was rebuilt after the 1746 earthquake. The 20th century brought rapid expansion and a modernist coastal strip, notably in Miraflores and Barranco. Today, Lima is a gritty, vibrant metropolis of 10 million, famous for its ceviche, traffic, and year-round grey skies.
Best Time to Visit
Full Lima guide →Best months
December to March: summer sun, clear skies, warm ocean, fewer tourists than coastal resorts. January is ideal for beach days and outdoor ceviche.
Peak / festival surge
Late January to early February is peak Peruvian summer, with local holidays and festivals. Hotel prices rise 20-40% then. The Señor de los Milagros procession in October draws crowds but prices stay moderate.
Budget shoulder season
April and November offer mild weather, fewer crowds, and discounts of 15-30% on room rates. May and October also work, though the coastal fog (garúa) can be persistent.
Weather & packing
Lima in July is winter: overcast, damp, and around 15-18°C. Pack layers — a fleece or light jacket for evenings, plus a waterproof shell for misty mornings. Aussies and South Africans should bring an umbrella even if it never rains properly.
Live City Briefing — Lima
- The new Metropolitano bus line (Expreso 5) now runs directly from Miraflores to the Historic Centre, cutting travel time to 30 minutes. Check for service cuts due to maintenance.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Daniel's Apart Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (4th or 5th) facing away from the main street. The lift only goes to the 5th floor, so top-floor rooms are quieter and less foot traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms or those directly above the lobby – they pick up street noise from the front entrance and people coming and going. Also skip rooms near the lift shaft on the 2nd floor.
Best views
Rooms on floors 4-5 facing the rear courtyard offer a quieter outlook, though no dramatic cityscape. Front-facing rooms look onto the adjacent street but get more noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Avenida (likely a main road or busy thoroughfare) is the main source. Also lift noise on lower floors – the 2nd floor can be louder because of lift doors opening/closing.
Insider tips
1. Check in early if possible – the 5th-floor rooms are limited and go first because they're the quietest. 2. Parking is often in a tight garage; ask if they can reserve a spot if you're driving.
- 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
