Hoteles Paraíso Chiclayo — Hotel in Chiclayo

This hotel looked great from the website and we'd read reviews on a few different sites that made it sound pretty good. It's a modern building, in good condition, with a nice lobby and small restaurant. The rooms are tiny but clean. The hotel doesn't offer rooms with air conditioning and the ceiling fan in our room did little to relieve the heat. Our window looked in on an inner "courtyard" area, which basically meant we were able to see into the hotel room across from us. We found the hotel to be very noisy early in the morning, mostly due to hotel staff banging around or communicating by two-way radio in the echoey corridors. There was also some sort of construction going on in the building and it started well before 8am. On the second morning of our 3-night stay, we received an unsolicited wake-up call at 5am. We did not get an apology for this rude interruption. ||We decided to try the restaurant for breakfast and were surprised to find out that an "American breakfast" was actually included in the cost of our room... we weren't told this when we checked in. We also found out later than another couple was paying 10 soles less than us and didn't have breakfast included. We would've liked to have been given the option to opt-out of breakfast OR been told that breakfast was included. ||Shower was fine but a window at the top meant the shower area was visible from a window in the corridor of the floor above if you forgot to shut it. Which I did... and caught a glimpse of a man darting away when I looked up and noticed it was open. ||Front desk staff speaks some English and are friendly. ||Overall, this hotel wasn't terrible relative to other place in the same cost-range in Chiclayo but we did not enjoy our stay and...

When I got out of my dilapidated taxi, took one look at the scruffy street my hotel was in, I felt relief as I walked into the elegant lobby - I thought I'd got a boutique hotel for the bargain price of 75 sols. Well, it wasn't such a bargain. The lobby is the best party of the hotel. My room was tiny, cold and there were no windows looking out on to the street, only a rattly window - which shook all night - overlooking, well...overlooking nothing but another wall of the hotel. The pillow on the bed felt as if it had been filled with pebbles and there was only one plug point to charge my mobile phone. There's a computer with internet access in the lobby, which costs a few sols for an hour's use and breakfast isn't included. OK there were a few good points, such as the room was clean, it had cable TV and the hotel felt secure. I'd probably try somewhere else in town before I came back here. However, there are executive rooms for 105 sols a night, so if I came back to Chiclayo and couldn't find anything else, I might give them a try. Although I wouldn't recommend this hotel to a friend, it's not that bad...

First let me say that I have entered (to get info, not necessarily to stay at) at least 30 hotels in Chiclayo, from the best (in my opinion Garza hotel, costa del sol, and gran hotel) to the worst (they rent the rooms by the hour)...With all that being said, this hotel is on definitely on the better half. I think the prices are better than every other hotel in the city that is comparable in hospitality because of the location--it is in a poorer area, though no less convenient than the bigger and "better" hotels. I happen to own a house around the corner of this place and I have all my guests stay here when they come visit, unless they want to fork out the big bucks for the highest-end hotels. Great lobby, very friendly, wonderful prices, hot water, clean room. In chiclayo I haven't found a better hotel for the...
