A propriedade — Hostal Tropical
Hostal Tropical is a no-frills, three-star base in central Lima, with tired but clean rooms and a small courtyard that gets decent morning sun. The lobby has scuffed lino floors, a couple of plastic chairs, and a receptionist who’s seen every excuse for a late checkout. It suits budget travellers who need a safe, central place to sleep between exploring Miraflores and the historic centre, and who don’t mind 1980s decor.
Crónicas de Lima
Lima was founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro as the City of Kings, and its colonial core still has heavy Spanish baroque churches and timber-balconied mansions. The 18th-century earthquake destroyed much of the original architecture, leaving a patchwork of rebuilt neoclassical and republican styles. In the 20th century, the city exploded outward with informal settlements, while the coastal districts of Miraflores and Barranco became the cultural and gastronomic heart. Today Lima is a sprawling, traffic-heavy metropolis where pre-Columbian huacas sit next to glass office towers, and its ceviche and pisco sour are globally celebrated.
Melhor época para visitar
Guia completo de Lima →Melhores meses
January to March for the warmest sea water and proper beach weather, plus fewer tourists than Europe’s summer. December and April are also good for mild temperatures and manageable crowds.
Peak / Festival Surge
January and February are Peru’s summer peak, with Lima’s beaches packed and hotels in Miraflores charging 30-50% more. The main driver is domestic tourism and the summer holidays, plus international visitors combining Lima with Cusco/Machu Picchu.
Orçamento da temporada
May and November offer lower prices, thinner crowds, and still decent skies – Lima’s famous grey garúa fog is lighter, and you can often see the sun by midday.
Tempo e embalagem
Lima rarely gets rain but hangs under a dense cloud layer from May to November, so expect damp chill and thick grey skies. Pack a windproof jacket and a lightweight sweater for every day, even in the ‘summer’ months.
Livro City Briefing — Lima
- The Costa Verde coastal highway has intermittent closures for landslide repairs, particularly near Barranco, so add 20 minutes to any cross-city taxi trip.
- A new 'Lima Metro' Line 2 extension is under construction, with partial service from Ate to San Juan de Lurigancho; not useful for tourists yet but causing surface road detours.
- Museo Larco reopened its permanent pre-Columbian collection after a two-year renovation, with improved labelling in English and a new outdoor cafe.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostal Tropical, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard (away from Avenida Petit Thouars). The hotel has only a small lift, so these floors are high enough to reduce street-level noise but still walkable if the lift is busy.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor — they sit right behind the reception and breakfast area, so you'll hear chairs scraping and early-morning clatter. Also skip any room facing the side alley where staff park scooters.
Best views
Rooms overlooking the inner courtyard give a view of potted plants and a small fountain — pleasant but nothing spectacular. Front-facing rooms on the 3rd or 4th floor look out onto Avenida Petit Thouars, a moderately busy avenue with traffic noise but a decent cityscape of low-rise buildings and palms.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors are your best bet. The hotel is a walk-up with a small lift, so these floors are high enough to dodge street hubbub yet low enough for a quick stair descent.
🔊 Noise notes
Avenida Petit Thouars is a main boulevard in Lima's Miraflores area, so mototaxis, buses, and car horns are audible from morning until late evening. Weekend nights can be louder because of nearby bars. The internal courtyard is quiet except during breakfast service (7–10am).
Insider tips
1. Ask at check-in for a room on the 3rd floor with courtyard view — the lift is tiny and slow, so you'll appreciate being close to the stairs without hauling luggage too far. 2. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper; the walls are thin and neighbours' TV noise travels easily in older buildings like this one.
- 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
