- no doorman, had to lug my heavy bags from the taxi up stairs - for a hotel with the name “El Olivar” they it us in a room with a view of the alleyway, not impressed. - room was very noisy and right next to a service elevator. - thermostat didn’t work, either blows very cold air or none at all, will not adjust: - bathtub is dangerously slippery, both my husband and I almost fell badly when we started to shower and had to catch ourselves on the handicap rail full force No upgrades and the room service did not give us our discount. Disappointed.

I always stay here!

I travel to Lima on business two or three times a year and always stay at Sonesta el Olivar. Great service, clean and comfortable rooms, great breakfast, excellent for lunch or dinner, convenient neighborhood. This time we needed some special attention on our reservation and were accomodated. At check in the young woman at the front desk (Natalia) could not have been more gracious and accommodating.

Disappointing Stay After Nearly 3 Weeks – Won’t Be Returning I stayed at Sonesta Olivar for nearly three weeks due to ongoing work in my apartment nearby. Initially, the hotel felt like good value for the price. However, the experience quickly declined. I was moved to another room during my stay, and on multiple occasions, I had to follow up with staff to request basic amenities that were either missing or not replenished after housekeeping. Despite clearly being a couple, the nightly sweets left on our pillow were always for one person — a small but telling oversight that reflects poor attention to guest details. The most frustrating part came at checkout. A staff member insisted I pay an 18% tax, even though my wife is Peruvian and we were staying together. I had only just arrived in Lima a few days prior, and this felt more like an opportunistic policy enforcement rather than a fair or welcoming gesture. Unfortunately, this experience reinforced the sense that some places in Lima still operate with outdated hospitality standards. I won’t be staying at Sonesta Olivar again.

We love this hotel! We were undecided whether to stay in Mira Flores or at the Sonesta. This was the perfect choice. Super comfortable beds, delicious buffet breakfast with eggs to order, excellent service and housekeeping, afternoonsnacks and turn down service. But special thanks to: Daniela at the front desk helped us with booking extra nights and with the business center. Freysa always took good care of us at breakfast every morning. Ariana made our room smell amazing and organized us. Ronald is the man! His pisco sours are the best in Lima. Plus he was our go to man any time we needed help. He helped us with so many things. We loved the hotel being nestled in El Olivar park. It was so quiet and peaceful here. We never even heard housekeeping in the halls and had to use an alarm to wake us up each morning. Lots of little shops and restaurants. We will miss watching residents in the park every morning during breakfast. We will definitely stay here again! Only room for improvement is responding to messages to this app. We had to call the hotel. They also arranged a taxi to pick us up at the airport on arrival.
