Best Places to Stay Near Capitán Manuel Galindo Park in Lima

I liked the attention of the receptionists since they gave me a lot of support to go to tourist places and ask me for a safe taxi all the time at a good price, I hope to return next year with my wife and be able to continue seeing that good attention

This is a great place to stay if, like us, you were using Lima as a jumping off point to get to different places in Peru. It is just outside the airport (and across several insanely crazy roads so I do NOT suggest that you walk there!) and there is a free shuttle that runs every 10-15 minutes. Once you get out of baggage claim, go to the lien of desks for taxis, transportations and go to Direct Taxi 9blue sign) and let them know you need the Holiday Inn shuttle. Someone will take you outside (past all the freelance taxi drivers vying for your attention) to the place where the shuttle comes. (if you ask a freelance taxi driver for the free shuttle, don't be surprised if they see there is not one- WRONG.) The hotel is quite comfortable (and quite busy!) and its restaurant is open 24/7. I had the tuna rice bowl (I know- taking a chance) and it was excellent. My sister's pizza was fair and my brother in law does NOT recommend the hamburger- but hey, Holiday Inn is not a place you think of for haute cuisine. The staff is very, very friendly and helpful; check in takes a bit longer than you might expect but I think that is because the peruvian government requires more than the usual number of forms at this place- not entirely sure. The rooms are spacious (ask for 2 key cards as one must be inserted into the slot just inside the door to activate the electricity so if you are staying with someone who wants to stay in the room while you go down to grab a bite or a beverage, you will need to leave a least one key for the remaining person to not be left utterly in the dark). It was comfortable, very convenient, and quite reasonably priced. To get into town, they will call a registered taxi 9or you can Uber) and it will run about $15-20 USD. would definitely stay here again if our itinerary was anything like ours which was ”Lima to Iquitos to Lima to Cusco to Lima to home!”

We arrived in Lima at 1:30 AM and needed to stay at a hotel near the airport as we were planning to fly to Cusco within 12 hours upon arrival. The hotel provided us a shuttle that picked us up from the airport to the hotel. Cost was only 30 soles (less than $10 USD). The room was spacious and had the essentials that we need in a hotel. I did wake up at 6 in the morning hearing a rooster. I'll be honest, the hotel is in Callao, which is not the nicest area of Lima. In the morning when we checked out, we wanted to uber to Plaza de Armas de Lima area. Our hotel front office ambassador was so kind - she waited outside the hotel with us to make sure we were protected and constantly checked my phone to ensure we were getting into the correct Uber. Unfortunately, I don't speak Spanish but I understood her gestures when she was saying that my phone could be snatched. I wish I got her name. When we got back to the hotel to go to the airport, our hotel manager held our luggage in a locked room and yet again stayed with us outside for our uber to the airport. For an affordable hotel near the airport, Padama Hotel was definitely a great pick for us.

The hotel is right opposite the airport. Since I had to catch a flight the next day, I chose a hotel close to the airport! Eating and drinking is convenient, and the hotel environment is also very good! It’s just that it’s quite far from the city, and the traffic in Lima is quite congested!

This is not a 5 star hotel experience. Clearly the rooms need some modernisation. There is for example only fans and no temperature control air con. Our bedroom only had one bedside table. When we changed rooms things didn’t work and we had to get them fixed. However staff were very helpful. The bed was comfortable and there was a good sized wardrobe and shower. We had lounge access which was a much smaller area than we are used to and served a very limited food and beverage selection, however Oscar was a great host and did everything possible to make our experience better. We went to the gym but a lot of the equipment was faulty. It is limited but one treadmill out of the three had a non functioning ramp. All of the cross trainers were not working properly. We also had a meal in the restaurant which was average but again friendly staff. Thank you also to Clara who realised our experience had not been great.

The price/performance ratio of the hotel is not bad, the breakfast is quite satisfactory, and there is no problem to eat for two days. The room size also matches the price. The hotel is in the embassy area, very quiet at night. If you want to eat Chinese food, you still have to take a taxi and go out to eat. Several Chinese food nearby are all improved versions.

The hotel itself is not 7 stars, but it is the people who work there who makes it such a nice place. Didn’t have a bad experience here, my wife and I happened to be in Peru for a funeral and I had a health issue due to the emotional stress. Santiago from the reception was prompt to call the ambulance and they could fix the situation. Also when friends and family came to visit, I befriended waiter Carlos Abanto, very good guy, he deserves all the compliments, super professional. Because of people like them I plan to come back. Also Zarai Chileno (waitress) was nice and Jose the guy who used to clean my room. With this staff and location I assure you a lot of returning business and many good years to come. Thanks Dazzel in San Isidro!
