Overall a good place to stay. Nice and close to the historic district, with bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. Hotel was elderly with a few rough edges, but fine. Staff were friendly, and the laundry service was good. Internet service, though, was not great - spotty coverage, low speeds, and there was a complete outage for a couple of hours one day. Also, for the technically minded, you cannot establish an outgoing VPN connection - for some reason it is blocked.

The town of Lima is wonderful but I recommend researching your hotel choices closely. The Continental seemed to accommodate the Expedia members in what was a mess than desirable location in the hotel. The hotel is due a hardware and security upgrade (door locks, bathrooms, etc.) The window for the room is was given had construction noise in the day and nightclub noise at night.

For what you pay is not bad
There was bad smell in the room , carpet was very old and damaged , breakfast was nothing , the best thing of this hotel is location that is in the middle of historic places.

Downtown experience
This hotel is one of my favorite in Lima. Location is a important, it is right in the middle of the downtown area, right behind wonderful plaza San Martin and four blocks away from main square plaza the armas. Lots of walking streets filled with restaurants, bars and shopping stores, souvenirs, museum, etc. Again, the spot is amazing. Rooms are very comfortable, clean and organised though a bit small for american standards ( europeans would find them perfect size). The breakfast is simple but ok if you need to fill you up before you go. Otherwise, there are plenty of options just outside the building. When the price is good, this is a good hotel to stay in.

Very comfortable place
The room was huge, the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast could of been better. It was not hot, and if you didn’t get down there early, there was not much to choose from. Our stay was cut short, because of the fact that we have to leave Peru early. The hotel informed us the morning of March 16th, that the boarders were closing at midnight. They did tell us that the couldn’t refund our money for the two nights we didn’t stay. They did tell us if we had to stay we still had two night and we could stay there, if we got struck in Lima for 15 days.

Great variety of breakfast - fruits, coffee, tea, warm breakfast dishes, breads, juices, cold cut meat and cheese. Very close to a couple main squares and comforting security guard outside the hotel. Near Metro grocery store and many shops and cathedrals. Average cleaning Noisy at night due to nearby clubs/bars. No airport shuttle service or hired taxi came to pick us up - even after we made arrangement.

Fantastic location close to many tourist attractions. However, many of the rooms have no air conditioning. It is located in the middle of several tall buildings. So, there is no air flow. Opening windows doesn't help. Only one poor quality fan is provided. It was very hot in early April within the room. But, the price is fair.

I would give the staff a solid 10 out of 10. WiFi kept going out, water turned cold mid shower, tv kept freezing.

First they never disclosed that it would cost us to call locally. We never got the local # to dial out but we got charged. When I spoke to the front desk the gentleman printed out the call attempts and how much it would be. I asked him to pls call from the front desk bc the calls never completed from our room. He too could not get the call to go thru. He advised us this # didn’t exist but Thayer would still get charged ever tho the # didn’t exist and the calls never really dialed out. I asked for a supervisor-no one was available. And he took the paper that he printed out and refused to give it back until I started calling Expedia’s 800#. Terrible service! Plus there were no heaters and it was amazingly cold at night.

Three strikes and you're out!
Upon arriving, paid the balance ($54) in USD. They charge in Dollars, but have no Dollars as change. They provided me change in Soles, but only at a 2:1 rate, when the actual rate is 3.4:1. Bought a water and a soda from the bar downstairs and they tried to overcharge me. Room was cold but did not have a heater. Uncomfortable sleep. Shower had no hot water at 4:30am. Left it running for 10 minutes with constant checks, but it never got hot. I left without showering. I would never stay here again due to the combination of all these things.

Located in historic El Centro, walking distance to many sites of interest. English speaking staff, with high standards for customer service. Hotel Continental is a decent value, especially with its free breakfast. I wouldn't consider staying elsewhere, while visiting Lima.

Excellent location
We stayed one night for a layover. The breakfast was better than I expected with eggs, fresh juices and fruits. The best thing is its location – right at the heart of the Plaza de Armas. We enjoyed walking around and eating with the locals. The souvenirs are also cheaper in this part of town compared to Miraflores. Wish we had more time to explore the local sites. The staff was friendly and helpful. They helped arrange the airport/hotel/airport transfer for an extra fee. The only thing I didn’t like was the room looked and smelled dated. Other than that, it was worth the money!

It was good stay for the three nights in Lima Central, June 2018. Great location, polite and very helpful staff, especially Antonio. Great breakfasts and nice rooms. Some noise at nights because of the hotel location in the downtown (the hotel located in a walking distance to the most major attractions of Lima - great benefit for the tourists). I would recommend this hotel to my friends
