The Property — Hotel Eiffel
Hotel Eiffel is a straightforward three-star in Miraflores, named after the tower whose replica sits on its roof terrace. The lobby is small, tiled and functional, with a 24-hour desk and a lift that clanks. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean bed, a decent breakfast and a location five minutes from Larcomar and the clifftop park, not those seeking charm or space.
Chronicles of Lima
Lima was founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro as 'City of Kings', becoming the seat of Spanish power in South America. Its colonial core, the Historic Centre, is a UNESCO World Heritage site, full of elaborate balconies and baroque churches, but much of the city expanded haphazardly in the 20th century. Post-war modernism and sprawling 'pueblos jóvenes' shaped the contemporary city, while Miraflores and San Isidro emerged as leafy, affluent districts. Today, Lima is a chaotic, vibrant metropolis where pre-Columbian huacas sit next to glass office towers, and the food scene is arguably the best on the continent.
Best Time to Visit
Full Lima guide →Best months
April to June for clear skies, mild temperatures (18-22°C) and thinner crowds before the July peak.
Peak / festival surge
July, especially the last week, is peak, driven by Peruvian Independence Day (28-29 July) and the city's winter school holidays. Hotel rates typically rise 15-30% and rooms fill fast, so booking well ahead is essential.
Budget shoulder season
October and November are the best budget shoulder months: foggy but rainless, with lower prices, quieter sites and pleasant 20°C days.
Weather & packing
Lima is famously overcast from May to November, but does not rain. Pack a light fleece or jacket for the damp, grey 'garúa' mist, and sunglasses for the rare sunny afternoon.
Live City Briefing — Lima
- The new Metropolitano bus express line from Miraflores to the airport is now running, shaving 20 minutes off the roughly 90-minute journey at off-peak times.

- The historical centre's Circuito Mágico del Agua fountain park has reopened its laser show after a two-year renovation.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Eiffel, 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 from Avenida Alfredo Benavides, and the courtyard side blocks traffic rumble. You'll also be away from the lift lobby's ding and chatter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors facing the street. The 3-star build means thin double glazing, and Benavides is a busy six-lane avenue. Also steer clear of rooms directly above the reception or lobby — late-night comings and goings will travel.
Best views
Rooms facing the rear of the hotel look over a residential block of Miraflores — low-rise buildings and some greenery. That's the best view in a 3-star on a main road, though it's modest. Street-side rooms give you a view of the avenue and surrounding blocks.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 through 6 are the quietest. The upper floors sit above most street-level noise, and there's no bar or restaurant above ground level here.
🔊 Noise notes
Avenida Alfredo Benavides is a major east-west artery in Lima, with busy traffic from early morning till late evening. Mototaxis and buses are common. The hotel's entrance is set back from the pavement, which helps a bit, but not much. Also, expect occasional sirens from nearby fire station within 2 blocks.
Insider tips
1) The hotel has no dedicated parking — street parking on Benavides is metered and fills fast. Instead, use the private garage at the Supermercado Wong two blocks west (open 24h, safe). 2) Request a room on the 5th floor and ask for a 'tranquilo' (quiet) back-facing room when booking directly by phone — the desk staff can usually adjust on arrival if you arrive before 3pm.
- 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
