The hotel is outdated and not functional for “ Modern “ needs . That it was the best hotel In Lima 100 years ago. One night stay is more than enough. However, the restaurant and bar were great !!! Also, in the heart of historic district.

The hotel leaves a mixed impression. Located in the historic center of the city, beautiful and majestic on the outside, it feels tired and aged on the inside. Many things need either updating or replacing (plumbing, beds, modest room decor, no phone, no safe, no kettle, unstable internet, etc.). At the same time, in terms of price-to-quality ratio, one matches the other — room prices are quite reasonable and affordable. Overall, it's a good and convenient place for exploring Lima, its history and landmarks, but not entirely comfortable for staying.

A living piece of history located in the central district. So cool to stay in this grand old hotel and realize all who have stayed there from Hemingway to The Rolling Stones. Family of 4 with 11 and 17 year olds from Florida. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

Iconic hotel with great location in the historical centre. Public areas with luxury vibes, but rooms are very basic. Friendly staff at reception. Breakfast service was slow and sbould be improved. For example coffee wss served cold. My major complaint was wifi which was on/off both in public areas but mainly in the rooms. Great bar with pisco sauer drinks. Thanks!

The wifi was not good, it constantly went in and out and went out for a solid 2 hours in the evening. The location is excellent, near the plaza and main historic center. The staff spoke little English but were helpful and I was able to communicate just fine. I loved the free pisco sour, and the cocktail lounge was nice. The room was fine, the pillows were terrible but the bedding was nice. Overall an ok stay, the terrible wifi was a real bummer.

A charmingly un-modernized hotel, with clean amenities, but the air conditioning was very limited and there were insufficient power outlets near the beds. A good choice for central Lima.

This once stately Grand Hotel, built on the European model, has declined into a sad condition and is barely a ghost of what I saw for the first time in November of 1961. Where Hemingway would get soused on Pisco sours and where other celebrities would enjoy a fashionable stay, where Packard limousines waited to carry guests about the city, the only vestige of its former glory is the opulent bar. The rest is a dingey barebones operation gasping for air, hoping it has enough money to cover the cost of replacing a light bulb. Its gloomy hallways are a better setting for The Shining. Sparse, creaky furniture and paltry amenities place it a step away from being a monastery. The dining room's wait staff needs training, especially in wines. The front desk performs with fine courtesy and precision; that, and the signature Cathedral pisco sours, is the saving grace.
