Girl-friendly hotels

Dear All,

Has anyone heard of this hotel. I have read mixed reviews. Is it one to add to the list or a miss. I read in one review that the rates are too expensive for this kind of hotel.

thanks

Does anyone have any recent experience with Suite Apart Hotel? I read RT's unfavorable review of it from 2006. Wondering if I should change it now. I'll be making my first trip to Lima on Jan 07 thru jan 21. A friend of a friend recommended the hotel for my first night. Or if someone has a nice alternative close to Tequila w/ AC, chica friendly, $40-$80 USD.

 

Hi guys...
Kinda new here...first trip to lima march-9 to 14 was planning on staying either at double tree or las americas but didnt know which one...was looking at the main...or fiesta...

Oh my god! Four years since I've been to Lima and shopping for my august/sept trip to find my 2006 posting link to the Maria Luisa no longer works. The good link today is
http://www.marialuisa-hotel.com/index.htm

They've bumped their price for a single up to s/70 ($26). I loved it before, then at $20, it even had a room safe but no a/c and probably no heating. I'm considering now the Hostal Larco, not the Larco626 but the one down by LarcoMar but cannot find a price online. Maybe even the Risso in Lince for a splurge. I promise to post when I get down there for the poor rats like me on a very tight budget.

Your true budget recommendations are very much appreciated and especially someplace where my credit cards and camera can be secured.

 

Hi guys,

First of all, thank you so much for all the helpful info about Lima. Good job!!

And now a question(that might belong in the beginners section):

The short-time hotels in tony_montanaa's 2nd post; are they actual short-time hotels where you rent the room for a couple of hours 0nly, or are they real hotels that just happen to be really cheap and chica-friendly?

I'm not really comfortable bringing a working girl I don't know back to the apartment I'm staying at, so ideally I was looking for something like the love-hotels in Buenos Aires where check-in is completely hassle-free(you just pay and get the room key without having to register with credit card and passport and stuff like that.)

Thanks.

 

You will have to check in with some sort of ID copy of passport is ok.
This is law..why ??....If there is a fire/earthquake they know how many people and who is in there.
I have used in the past a hotel on Av. Ariquipa block 23....right next to the service station.
Cost S/. 35 soles for 3 hours...
I also noticed at night about 8.00 p.m. there is a fair amount of street action in the area as well.
enjoy...

Do any of the moderately priced hotels have in-room safes? I'd like to be able to lock up passport, spare cash, credit cards, camera, iPhone when girls are present or if by chance someone comes in to clean my room.
