Padama — Hotel in Lima Metropolitan Area

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.

And then I found that the outlet does NOT match with the cord??? How creative it is to prank your customers by putting a lovely unusable hairdryer on the wall just for decoration??? I’m honestly...

We stayed here during a long, overnight layover in Lima. I highly recommend their shuttle service. The rooms were very nice. The bed was comfortable and king sized. There was reliable hot water, which is surprisingly hard to come by in Peru. The customer service was outstanding!
