A propriedade — Hostal Imperial
Hostal Imperial is a no-frills three-star in central Lima, a block from the Plaza San Martín. The lobby feels like a 1950s townhouse caught in time—dark wood, worn tiles, and cane chairs. Its USP is location and price: you’re within walking distance of the historic centre’s major sights, and the rooms are clean but basic. It suits budget travellers who want a safe, central base and don’t mind thin walls and no restaurant.
Crónicas de Lima
Lima was founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro as the City of Kings, capital of Spain’s Viceroyalty of Peru. Its colonial core, a UNESCO World Heritage site, still holds baroque churches, carved wooden balconies, and stately plazas. The 20th century brought modernist and republican buildings, especially around Plaza San Martín. Today Lima is a sprawling, chaotic metropolis of 10 million, known for its ceviche, its foggy winters, and its uneasy mix of wealth and poverty.
Melhor época para visitar
Guia completo de Lima →Melhores meses
December to March: summer, clear skies, warm days (25–28°C), and the city feels alive. These months also have manageable crowds outside the January peak.
Peak / Festival Surge
Peru’s summer holidays (late December through February) are the biggest domestic travel season. Hotel prices can rise 30–50% in central Lima. Events like the Señor de los Milagros processions (October) draw huge crowds, but July itself is a quiet winter month with lower demand.
Orçamento da temporada
April and October: mild weather (20–23°C), fewer tourists, and rates drop back to normal in Lima’s historic centre. The city is greener after summer rains but not fog-bound.
Tempo e embalagem
Lima in July is overcast and damp, with highs around 18°C and a persistent grey drizzle (garúa). Pack a light waterproof jacket, a warm jumper, and closed-toe shoes — a sunhat will be useless.
Livro City Briefing — Lima
- Lima’s Metro Line 2 extension is under construction near the historic centre; expect traffic disruptions on Avenida Abancay and Avenida Grau through 2026.
- The Museo de la Nación reopened in late 2025 after a three-year renovation, now with expanded pre-Columbian galleries and better signage in English.
- A new food market, Mercado de la Mar, opened in Miraflores in March 2026, offering sit-down cevicherías and a craft-beer bar — a 25-minute taxi from the hotel.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostal Imperial, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 or 4, facing the internal courtyard rather than the street. These floors are high enough to avoid ground-level noise yet still accessible by the lift. The courtyard side tends to be quieter and more private.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor, especially those near the reception or lift lobby, as foot traffic and front-desk activity can carry. Also avoid rooms at the back near any service entrance or kitchen area, which may have early-morning clatter.
Best views
For a decent view, request a room on the front (street-facing) side at floor 3 or 4 — you'll see the neighbourhood street life without being overwhelmed by noise. The courtyard view is quieter but looks into other rooms or a light well.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 offer the best balance of quiet and lift access. Floor 2 may be acceptable but is closer to street level.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a main road in Lima's historic centre. Expect constant traffic noise from early morning until late evening. The lift can be audible if your room is adjacent to the shaft. There may also be noise from nearby restaurants or street vendors, especially on weekends.
Insider tips
If you're a light sleeper, pack earplugs — even courtyard rooms catch some street echo. At check-in, politely ask for a courtyard-facing room on floor 3 or 4, and mention you'd like 'the quietest option available'. The staff know which rooms are best but won't offer unprompted.
- 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
