Wonderful

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was on a quiet street so noise pollution was not an issue. Beds were comfortable, and we were able to get additional pillows and blankets to make our sleep even better. Only downfall is that the images for the bedrooms and bathrooms don't always match. Image for the room we booked showed both shower and bath within the bathroom, but when we arrived there was only a shower. A quick talk with the front desk got us another room with only a bath. We were told for the future any specific request for the bathroom to place in the requests box. Now we know for next time.
Terrible experience, not sure if it was because we got the worst room or all rooms are equally bad. Toilet did not flush properly, had to flush a few times and spend few minutes. Wash basin water flow was so little that it took a few minutes to just wash hands with soap. Bathtub water was clogging and all the soap foam was floating on top, had to wait for the water to drain before starting the shower again. No hair dryer in the room even though it should have been there. Booked room for two days, the wifi network was visible and worked okay on the first day but the phone couldn't even see the wifi network on the second day. The receptionist mentioned that the booking does not include breakfast quite rudely. While I was aware that the booking doesn't include breakfast, she could have been a bit more polite because there was no reason for her to be rude.
I hope this is not the condition with other rooms and not sure why we were given such a third grade room...if you are a tourist, I strongly suggest to not consider it. Doesn't deserve any stars in my opinion.

Rude staff at check out, and bistro poor and miserable service, dont even have cream or milk for coffee. Will
NOT come back
Based on my person experience and my opinion ONLY.
The check in was great! Internet is great! I asked a king sized bed and paid for it; however I was given (2) two twin mattresses merged one with each other. I hate the feel when my body is in the middle of that gap.
Hotel located in great area; however I would stay elsewhere. You will hear every person on the floor due to no isolation and cheap room doors. There were construction activities at or about 7:30 in the morning on the street.
3.8 out of 5
Nice hotel in the San Isidro district. The area around the hotel is fairly quiet (for Lima), and is walkable to some phenomenal restaurants, a nice church, Bosque El Olivar (a beautiful park very near the hotel), and is overall very nice, central, and safe. The hotel itself is pretty modern and well staffed. The room was comfortable and clean (under the bed was a bit dusty, but everything else was fine). Would definitely recommend staying.
Excellent area. Short walks to everything. Bed a bit soft. Toilet pressure low.

Terrible service and wanted us out quickly
I booked a room way in advance and when it came time to check in (8pm) they informed me there was an issue with a prior guest who could not check out due to a medical issue. I understood that because of that they did not have an available room, but they told me they booked a 4 star hotel and would pay for our taxi. I booked that hotel as it was walkable from our pickup spot for our transportation the following day. The new hotel was further out and required a taxi. As an inconvenience they offered us breakfast, but we informed them it was not possible as we were being picked up at 5am. Instead we suggested dinner. They agreed but only offered 2 options no no beverage choice. It was clear they had a list of other options as the whole menu on the wall of their dining area. not only that it seemed like it was an inconvenience for them to compensate for our inconvenience. it seems like they wanted us out as soon as possible. When arriving to the new hotel that they booked. it turns out it was not a 4 star as they stated. Internet showed it was a 3.5 star and cheaper than our original booking. It would be different if they moved up on the hotel for the inconvenience to the booking they should honor, but they downgraded and wanted us out as soon as possible as it is less of a liability. Overall experience was terrible and would NOT recommend based on the service provided.
Had a good stay at Aku, so I stayed here again when I came back to Lima.
Pros:
Rooms are clean and the AC works well.
Staff is nice and very accommodating.
Service is very good.
The luggage storage is a huge plus.
Great neighborhood, next to Bosque El Olivar and tons of coffee shops and restaurants. One of the safest and nicest parts of Lima.
Cons:
The hotel is nice but a bit outdated.
The breakfast is severely lacking, especially for a 4 star hotel.
El precio no es justificable para lo ofrecido, la limpieza en general deja mucho que desear, no dejaron toallas, jabones ni shampo la primera noche, tuve que pedirlos, las toallas que nos dieron (todas las noches) estaba percudidas y desgastadas, el buffet es muy básico.
The hotel is on the smaller side, but very clean and very helpful staff .. the location is the best .. it's a walking distance to everything and in the heart of San Isidro and next to the "El Olivar" .. an amazing park to rest and walk around .. very safe all the area around it.
