A propriedade — Hostal Henessy
Hostal Henessy is a simple, no-frills three-star in central Lima, near the Plaza de Armas. The lobby feels like a quiet, tiled courtyard from the 1950s, with a small reception desk and worn wooden chairs. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, safe base for sightseeing, not a resort experience.
Crónicas de Lima
Lima was founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro as the 'City of Kings' and became the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru. Its colonial centre is a Unesco World Heritage site, with baroque churches and balconied mansions. In the 20th century, it swelled into a sprawling megacity, now home to a third of the country's population. Today, its identity oscillates between old-world elegance and chaotic modernity, with a thriving food scene and Pacific beach culture.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostal Henessy, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 to 5 at the rear of the building, away from the street. These mid-level floors balance lift access and quiet, as they sit above street-level bustle but below any roof terrace noise. The rear position avoids the main road traffic common on Lima's arterial streets.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first and second floors, especially those facing the street. These are closest to the entrance, lobby, and any street noise from the Avenida (given the Peru/Lima context). Ground-floor rooms may also suffer from footfall in the hallway and potential smells from the reception or breakfast area.
Best views
Rooms at the front (street side) on floors 4-5 offer the best view of Lima's cityscape — likely a wide avenue with some trees. Rear rooms look into a courtyard or adjacent buildings, so less interesting but much quieter.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 5 are the quietest, as they are above street-level disturbance and below any roof maintenance or terrace activity. The lift typically stops at all floors, but mid-level floors see less through-traffic.
🔊 Noise notes
As a 3-star hotel in Lima, expect street noise from traffic on the main road (likely 'Avenida' in the address). Early morning delivery trucks and late-night taxis are common. The lift can be audible if your room is adjacent to the shaft — request a room away from it, typically opposite the lift bank. Breakfast service from 7am may generate clatter from the dining area.
Insider tips
1. Check-in early (before 2pm) to secure a rear-facing room — they are quieter and often less popular with tour groups. 2. If parking is limited, ask about a nearby public lot; many 3-star hostals in Lima have an arrangement with an adjacent garage. 3. Request a room on floor 4 or 5 in writing via email before arrival — they are the sweet spot for quiet and lift convenience.
- 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
