Very average hotel stay.

It looks better in pictures, very average, it definitively has seen better days. Noisy area. We choose because the location, otherwise find a better hotel for similar price. Shower looked old and not clean well. Overcharged for pickup at the airport, $80 soles. Since it was my first time and arriving very late and not having a local SIM card for cell I decided to go that way, but local taxi was charging $55 soles. Breakfast was pretty basic.

The hotel is really old. When arrived at 10pm, the door was locked. The area felt unsafe. The room was dirty and had a very musky smell. Tried to reach out to Expedia and the hotel for early checkout and unused nights, they said no. Breakfast was 7-9am but everything was out by 745am. Only one person was working so everything was super slow and told a long time to just get coffee. Very unorganized.

Overall a good place to stay. Nice and close to the historic district, with bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. Hotel was elderly with a few rough edges, but fine. Staff were friendly, and the laundry service was good. Internet service, though, was not great - spotty coverage, low speeds, and there was a complete outage for a couple of hours one day. Also, for the technically minded, you cannot establish an outgoing VPN connection - for some reason it is blocked.

The town of Lima is wonderful but I recommend researching your hotel choices closely. The Continental seemed to accommodate the Expedia members in what was a mess than desirable location in the hotel. The hotel is due a hardware and security upgrade (door locks, bathrooms, etc.) The window for the room is was given had construction noise in the day and nightclub noise at night.

Downtown experience

This hotel is one of my favorite in Lima. Location is a important, it is right in the middle of the downtown area, right behind wonderful plaza San Martin and four blocks away from main square plaza the armas. Lots of walking streets filled with restaurants, bars and shopping stores, souvenirs, museum, etc. Again, the spot is amazing. Rooms are very comfortable, clean and organised though a bit small for american standards ( europeans would find them perfect size). The breakfast is simple but ok if you need to fill you up before you go. Otherwise, there are plenty of options just outside the building. When the price is good, this is a good hotel to stay in.

Very comfortable place

The room was huge, the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast could of been better. It was not hot, and if you didn’t get down there early, there was not much to choose from. Our stay was cut short, because of the fact that we have to leave Peru early. The hotel informed us the morning of March 16th, that the boarders were closing at midnight. They did tell us that the couldn’t refund our money for the two nights we didn’t stay. They did tell us if we had to stay we still had two night and we could stay there, if we got struck in Lima for 15 days.
