7.9Verified guest“The staff were helpful, especially Luis at the front desk, who made check-in easy. The location is fantastic, close to Chabuca Granda, the city's dining district, and just a short distance from beautiful beaches. The room was comfortable and clean, with a hot shower that had excellent pressure.”
7.9Verified guest“I recently stayed at a lovely boutique hotel in Barranco and had a fantastic experience. The staff at the 24/7 reception were incredibly helpful and friendly, with some even speaking English. The restaurant staff were also very accommodating, despite the language barrier. I highly recommend trying their fresh pressed pineapple juice, it was the best we had during our trip in Peru. The hotel is located in a great area with plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants nearby. Plus, the hotel itself is beautifully decorated with antiques and has a unique charm. A wonderful stay!”

The staff provides excellent service and the rooms are equipped with basic amenities, including private bathrooms. Additionally, the included breakfast is a nice bonus.”
