Wunderschönes Hotel mit schöner Atmosphäre
Pros:

Das war eine der schönsten Unterkünfte, in der ich je war. Von der lauten Straße kommt man in einen relativ schallgeschützten Innenhof, der wunderschön ausgestaltet ist. Das Gebäude könnte man sicherlich als historisch betrachten. Es war wohl der Hauptwohnsitz vom 2. Präsidenten von Peru. Es herrscht eine sehr freundliche Atmosphäre. Ich dürfte sogar mein Gepäck dort 3 Tage während einer anschließenden 3-tägigen Wanderung dort kostenlos lagern, obwohl ich keine weitere Übernachtung dort hatte.

A very pleasant stay with wonderful staff and a welcoming courtyard!
Pros:

The room was very quiet and we were able to open our window at night and have the wonderful fresh air coming in. The garden area was just wonderful to sit in and enjoy the day after sightseeing all day. The staff here are super accommodating and friendly and the breakfast was excellent for us. We loved the breakfast room. This is a very charming hotel to stay in and within walking distancea to everything you would like to see and do in the historic area.

Amazing property,beautiful rooms, great service and perfect location!
Pros:

It is absolutely a beautiful property. It was the home of a Peruvian president at the end of the 19th century. Rooms are beautifully built with the city’s white volcanic rock called sillar. It has a beautiful interior garden. Breakfast buffet has everything you might want: fruit, eggs ordered to your taste, avocado, olives, delicious and fresh bread,coffee and so much more. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Location is perfect only two blocks away from the Plaza de Armas!

Cons:

Nothing.

Leuk historisch hotel op loopafstand van alles.
Pros:

De locatie op loopafstand van alles. Zeer ruime grote kamer. Vriendelijk personeel, mooie binnenplaats met rieten stoelen waar je lekker kon zitten. Uitgebreid ontbijt.

Cons:

Het was vrij warm in de kamer en er was geen airco. Wij hadden de pech dat een leiding onder de wastafel los kwam, waardoor de badkamer blank stond. We mochten naar een andere kamer om te douchen eea was gelukkig snel gerepareerd.
