Wyndham Grand Costa Del Sol Lima Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Nono"

Souma Hotel, Vignette Collection by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We got the opportunity to get a paid upgraded room and ended up on the highest floor in a junior suite with the views of the ocean! Floor to ceiling glass panels and ( slightly tricky to operate) automatic curtains made it magical especially the sunset! Breakfast was well catered for with a variety of food. The beds were super comfortable. Located about a 10 minute to the middle of Miraflores the location was perfect. And it was only about a 6 minute walk to the famed Maido restaurant( review in progress) and about a 10 minute walk to Lacormar shopping mall. The staff were helpful too. Overall a definite choice if you want to stay in Miraflores, Lima"

GRAN HOTEL BOLIVAR

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel with great history. Rooms were large, clean and quiet. Food served in the dining areas was excellent and the pisco sours made every meal better. We ate on terrace 3 nights and meals were all memorable. Internet service was good. In my opinion, the Gran Hotel Bolivar was good experience and great value."
