The Jose Antonio Hotel in Lima was not the best, nor the worst. It was clean, efficient, breakfast buffet was adequate, and the bar was pleasant. The hotel was located in the upscale Mira Flores area, and close to the mall, many restaurants, shops, and banks. While Lima was not my favorite city in Peru, it did have a few charming areas of interest such as the historical district, the Rosa Nautica Restaurant, and Love Park.

Stopped here on our first night in Peru after a long flight via Amsterdam. We were part of a 21 day EXODUS tour to Peru and as such we had no choice over our hotels.

The hotel is clean and tidy, the room that we had was very large, with seperate sleeping and sitting rooms. The bathroom was excellent with a good shower (mind you any shower is good after 13 hours on a 777).

Staf were pleasent and helpful.

We were told that the area was safe to wander around in, but all we did was go to the little shop down the road for water, being too tired to explore.

The food and prices in the hotel restraunt were excellent. Four of us ate for about £25 with beer and dessert.

The only down side was the health and safety, which we soon found was the norm in Peru. The photo I have attached was in our room, you could open the window fully and literally step out!! You would then of course fall 5 stories onto the roof of the dwellings below.

IF YOU HAVE KIDS BE VERY CAREFUL!!

These windows are very common in Peru. This hotel even had them on the stairs, one false step and you could plunge out of the window to the pavement below.

All in all, an excellent first night hotel, I would reccomend it to others.

Hotel was in a safe area of Lima.

Pool was at the sister hotel across the road and is an outdoor pool. We were there in August and it was too cold to swim. There were also no obvious changing facilities.

Free internet, but only one terminal, so you had to wait.

Room was clean and comfortable.

Easy walk to Larcomar.

Hotel staff were very helpful with bus and taxi bookings and providing advice.

The Hotel Jose Antonio was in a great location for an easy walk to shop along Ave Larco and the Larco Mar Shopping Center on the Pacific Ocean. It was also an easy walk to Kennedy Park which was alive with local color. The hotel wasn't luxiurious, but it was fine for a group of tired touristos and it is located in Miraflores, a neighborhood so safe we felt comfortable on every street. We had no problem with security, although the hotel couldn't find our room safe key so we put our valuables in the safe of one of our co-touristos. Breakfast buffet was OK, but there are so many restaurants close by that we didn't eat another meal in the hotel. The location is fantastic!
