I only want to say one thing about this nice hotel in Miraflores; my friend forgot his wallet at the free internet point and the day after they gave him back with all credit cards, documents and money. Do You need anything else to be sure about the safety of this place? We paid 120 Soles a night for a... More

The hotel promised airport transfer and didn't tell us that they would charge us. Which wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have to pay 3 times what we would have paid if we had gotten a taxi and come to the hotel by ourselves. We don't mind paying for extras as long as we are told about it in... More

When arrived, I was met by Alberto who put me in a room on the 3rd floor. I had booked for 6 nights. During the first two days I decided to take a trip to Iquitos in the north of Peru for two of the six days. As I was on the computer booking the hotel and flight Alberto arrived... More

Great for a couple of days. Nice area. Breakfast was simple. Very big room. Nicely decorated. 20 minute walk to Kennedy Park which is not ideal very late at night, but good for during the day.

I think me and my husband agree this was the best place we stayed in Peru. I argue it being a hostel though. It felt more like a family hotel. The rooms were nice and decorated with beautiful furniture, most of which was from other countries. The staff were more like good friends or family, in fact I felt why... More

I stayed three nights here with my fiancee after we returned from the Amazon. We didn't plan to stay in Lima, but we were sick and needed to go to the Tropical Medicine Clinic. We chose Inkawasi, because we needed a nice place to rest. Unfortunately, one staff member, Alberto, only made our stay more difficult. After he told us... More

We spent a night at this hotel. It's a very nice and clean hotel. We had a private dbl room. The price is good and the owner was very sweet and helpful (he even went outside to get a taxi for us!). It's a very beautiful walk to the main streets and Larcomar Mall. You're only steps away from the... More

Inkawasi (I believe it´s technically called¨"Backpacker Inkawasi" as our friend from Lima had trouble googling it) was well reviewed in the 2007 Lonely Planet book. The room rates were definitely reasonable, and they had immediate availability for our group of 7 when we called from the airport. This was near the end of our 2 week trip in Peru, so... More
