I liked the retro nature of the facility - high ceilings and spacious rooms, not your ordinary tourist type of hotel - the hallways were long and empty which gave off a haunted house vibe - the food and bar drinks were exceptional - there was plenty to see within walking distance - an experience worth remembering

A time capsule from the 1920s

Absolutely amazing hotel with so much history. If you prefer the beauty of bygone eras over modernity this is the hotel for you. Splurge and get the junior suite. It's basically an entire apartment with gorgeous inlaid hardwood floors, 15 ft ceilings a balcony and many period features.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel makes much ado about its glorious past. Unfortunately, it's stuck there. The property is not quaint, it's shabby. The hallways of the floors are long, dark and outright creepy. The rooms have not been touched in at least 50 years. Maybe 75. It clearly used to be a grand hotel. It's not anymore. The fact that it's in a dodgy part of town and across from the park where protests are held does not help the ambiance. Avoid.

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! ;)

Het hotel ziet er aan de buitenkant als zeer luxe uit, iedereen loopt in mooie pakken en je wordt prima ontvangen. Tot je op de kamer komt , de badkamer was ronduit zeer slecht onderhouden, verkalkte kranen , een vies geel bad, scheuren in de vloer en gaten in de deur. Wij vonden de kamer zeer teleurstellend. Als je na een lange vlucht aankomt en je wilt een lekker koud biertje bestellen hebben ze dat niet, je moet aan de dure cocktails. Het hotel is vergane glorie.

Muy bonito lugar, las instalación por si valen la pena debido a su estilo arquitectónico. Lo que sí podrían mejorar son las camas, son más duras que las comunes. Con un poco más de presupuesto y arreglo a detalles puntuales podría mejorar muchissísimo.
