Aku Hotels

The hotel is in an excellent location with good restaurants nearby and comfy room. It is near the CBD of Lima Peru. There is no need to take the breakfast as there are plenty of options.

breakfast is not the best, but I didn't included in the booking.

Great, safe location, within walking distance of several diplomatic missions and many restaurants. Room service was exceptionally fast. Housekeeping was provided every day and they left the room spotless. I had read several reviews mentioning that the towels were small, but I found them to be a standard size.

The kettle and minibar in my room didn’t work. No complimentary drinking water was provided, so I had to order it through room service.

Excelent location

The room was relatively quiet for Lima, especially for noises from outside. Regrefully we still did wake up from noises from the hallway, like the opening and closing of doors, people and staff speaking in the hallway and the bell of the elevator arriving and leaving the floor. The room was also sufficiently dark which was nice compared to a lot of other stays in Peru with thin curtains. The shower was also very nice with strong pressure and even temperature. We were also allowed to stow a bag for a week after we stayed there without a surcharge which we appreciated. There is also a really nice and quiet sprawling park on 50m from the hotel.

Don't pay in the local currency Sol! They charge a ridiculous conversion rate. They also couldn't accept any of our VPay and Maestro cards of three different banks. We have been traveling for more than a month in Peru and this was the first time we had this issue. They also didn't accept any paper money with the most minor of imperfections. A bill with a small tear of less than a millimeter was not accepted. On our first night we were called by the reception around 21.30 to ask when we would be checking out. We were just trying to sleep and this did not help. The matress needed replacement. It was also uneven with the head lying lower than the feet. It also did not help that the pillows were quite hard while the bed was quite soft. The toilet was not really working, every time we had to flush at least three times and add extra water to make sure it flushed correctly (and no we did not put in any toilet paper).
