A propriedade — Hostal KING'S
Hostal KING'S is a solid 3-star base in central Lima, with a plain, functional lobby that prioritises practicality over charm. Its USP is the location: a short walk from Plaza San Martín and the historic centre, suited for budget-conscious travellers who want to sleep simply and spend their days out exploring. Think tiled floors, a reception desk that works efficiently, and the faint sense of a place that has seen decades of backpackers pass through. It won't impress romantics, but it serves its purpose for a one-night stopover.
Crónicas de Lima
Lima was founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro as 'Ciudad de los Reyes', becoming the capital of the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru for nearly 300 years. Its historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1988, preserves colonial-era balconies, baroque churches and the Plaza Mayor. The 20th century brought modernist and brutalist additions, particularly along the coast in Miraflores and San Isidro, where wealthy suburbs grew. Today Lima is a sprawling metropolis of 10 million people, defined by its rich culinary scene, stark social contrasts, and a cultural identity that mixes indigenous, Spanish, African and Asian influences.
Melhor época para visitar
Guia completo de Lima →Melhores meses
April, May and November: sunny skies, low humidity and fewer tourists than the main season; comfortable for wandering the historic centre.
Peak / Festival Surge
January and February: summer heat (up to 30°C) draws domestic tourists to Lima's beaches, hotel prices rise 20-30%, and crowds pack the centre for the Señor de los Milagros processions in October also spikes demand.
Orçamento da temporada
June and September: prices drop 15-25%, humidity low, and you get fewer queues at museums; around 18-22°C, ideal for walking without overheating.
Tempo e embalagem
Lima rarely sees rain, but from June to September has a persistent coastal fog called 'garúa' that makes mornings damp and overcast. Pack a light waterproof jacket and layers: a T-shirt under a fleece works for July's 15-19°C range.
Livro City Briefing — Lima
- The new Metropolitano bus line extension to the airport, 'Expreso Aeropuerto', is expected to start full service in mid-2026, cutting taxi costs from central Lima to around 3 soles.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostal KING'S, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor at the rear of the building, away from the street. These upper floors reduce street noise from Lima's traffic and the building's own lift machinery, which is audible on lower floors.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor: they sit level with the street, so traffic and foot noise are constant. Also skip rooms directly opposite the lift shaft on any floor – the mechanism hums and doors slam until late.
Best views
From a rear-facing room on floor 4 or 5 you get a clear view over neighbouring rooftops and a slice of the Lima skyline, without facing the main road's dust and glare.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 are the quietest: high enough to dampen street sound, below the roof where any rooftop equipment might hum.
🔊 Noise notes
The address 'Lima' means this is a central city location. Expect constant traffic honking, bus engines idling, and street vendors' radios from 7am to 11pm. The building's lift is a slow hydraulic type that clunks on arrival. Weekend nights bring louder revellers on the street below.
Insider tips
Check in after 2pm to request a rear-facing room – the receptionist can often confirm availability then. Pack earplugs even for upper floors: Lima's central streets are relentlessly loud, and the hostel's 3-star rating means no double-glazing.
- 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
