The historical significance which is being maintained. Our bathroom does need upgrading to the high standard expected from the rest of the hotel. Breakfast was excellent. Staff very helpful with advice.
Aging but lovely. The cocktail bar is excellent... You must try the Bisco Sour...

The room and bathroom were lovely, very antique feel. A beautiful lobby, delicious food and very friendly receptionists. The location is amazing, very central.My friend and I really enjoyed our stay with you!
This is a unique historic building that has been well maintained but is showing some age. The furniture and fixtures look original, which we appreciated, but others may not. Multiple tours visit the lobby each day due to the buildings historic nature. It’s located within 7 min walk to Plaza Mayor. They were copious amounts of hot water which we didn’t find everywhere in Peru and it was great to take a full shower in warmth. Breakfast was “American” and filling, including eggs, fresh juice and breads. Recommend to those looking for a unique experience. Warning: Pisco Sours from the bar are the real deal and potent! ;)
Its central location and historical significance to Peru was nice. As such itd be wonderful to see the rooms modernized for comfort. It was just too cold and bed very uncomfortable. The staff was very hospitable. For our group of 7, the dining at their restaurant was the highlight. Also, we noticed their bar with its upstairs balcony was a popular destination for locals.
It’s important to understand this hotel is far beyond its best days. I am sure then it was absolutely majestic, but now it’s just really lacking luster and glamour. Being across from the square will seriously disrupt any sleep you plan to get. The window was broken in our room to accommodate a portable ac.

We stayed for 3 nights.
Pros: Great location, good breakfast, and friendly staff.
Cons: Very noisy throughout the day and night. Our room faced Plaza San Martín, which offered an excellent view, but the street is crowded all night, and loud music from a nearby nightclub played until 4–5 a.m. both nights. Also, while the hotel is clean and in good condition, keep in mind that it’s over 100 years o, so don’t expect modern amenities.
Staff courteous and nice
Old historic building falling in disrepair. Rug old weary, not clean. Smell old building which it can be fixed easily with so many new odor dispersing tech. Room 334 bathroom broken faucets, old “ baby toilet”, rusty areas, dirty curtain shower, windows broken to open and close, Dirty walls and doors, lack of clean and painting. Stayed Saturday night and the outside party was loud inside our rooms until 7 am. Not exaggerating.
So sad this magnificent building is falling apart inside due to lack of repair and painting.
The rooms are dark, bare, and noisy. There was no outlet to plug your phone in next to the uncomfortable bed you were given to sleep on with awful cheap dated linens. Also, it’s not a safe place to walk around at night. Besides that, it’s a wonderful place to stay in that has no pool for way too much money.
It’s a pretty old but beautiful hotel, but there are some downsides…. The streets outside are pretty noisy, but maybe it was because we had the room adjacent to the street. We had four people and ran out of hot water for showering at the end, but might be because of rush evening hour for water hmusage. The breakfast was good though, and it’s a 10-minute walk from Plaza de Armas.

It is an historic site, celebrating 100 years, with many historic visitors, lovely art nouveau dome, etc. It does need some TLC
