Lima - Hotel Recommendations

[Fun And Sun]

On my first night in Peru I stayed in the Radisson Miraflores, having arrived late I called one of the escort services and had them send a girl. Got stuck with a USD 20 extra person charge, despite having booked for two people and the girl only staying for one hour. Not recommended.

Hi fellow mongers!

I'm new at this site and I am also a new member here. I will post as I finallies some scoores. For now I am making my plans for my trip to Lima in December.

I'm planning to stay and rent privat ensuits in hostels because of two reasons: nice prices and a lot of backpackers and singles just out for fun, as me.

I have never been in Lima or Peru before.

I would be very pleased if you could tell me if:

- this is chicafriendly places?

-It makes it okay to bring a girl, whatever whom, if I pay for two persons/night?

Maybe you have another ideas; I'm very thankful for that inf. Too.

I'm a man close to 40, very easygoing, and young kind of living, thinking and fit's in most arenas. If anyone is in Lima in December and like to have some company, just pm me. (maybe I will have a friend and his _wife! _ with me, but his cool and a pure monger too)

Thank you in advance for your help and I hope to meet some faces to all this names here.

Didn't see a response to the earlier inquiry - is La Paz GF?

I am back from Lima and must now withdraw my report from two years ago recommending the Maria Luisa. At s/70 for the single and s/80 for the matrimonial, is now overpriced for the quality.

They no longer have the in-room safe. My matrimonial room was cheap and dirty. They have spiffed up the lobby but the rooms, at least mine, have deteriorated without improvement.

There are much better options for the budget traveler in Lince and the bus/taxi fares are cheap. I wish I had checked out the Hotel Tac before my last day, better quality at s/50 and just a 5 minute combi ride down Benavides.

Sorry to hear you had problems with your credit card. I use my visa card all the time in lima and I've never had problems. Everyone should use caution when using one but they do come in handy.

More than likely people will want to shop in lima...silver,alpaca,cotton clothing etc. Using cash can get expensive when using an atm or unsafe if you carry alot while traveling.

Chase mobile offers me account info via SMS which keeps me up to date on recent transactions. If I notice anything wrong I can immediately call my CC company. I think if you call within a certain time frame you are only liable for $50.

Same thing happend to me earlier this year. I stayed at the Hotel Continental in el centro and it was the only place other than a couple of ATM withdraws that I used my debit card and had about 3k in unauthorized charges. My bank did not make me responsible for the charges, but either the hotel or the ATMs are not secure.

Does anyone have recent experience with La Paz Apart Hotel?

A/C is not important at all.

Good day everyone -

I will be in Lima during the 1st week of May. I have checked for 1bdr apts on ACP and I noticed that none of the 1bdr's on ACP has Air-Condition. Is it a necessity to have air-con?

I have checked the weather and noticed that it does get chilly @ night. How about during the day? Do I need to have an air-con to survive the day?

Not particularly concerned with quality, but definitely interested about GF factor.

Hola Hombres:

I will be traveling to Iquitos this summer and have a 10 hour layover in Lima. Can anyone recommend a decent hotel around the airport. I would like it to be girl friendly as I plan to have a little fun during my lay over.

Thanks
