This was my second stay at this hotel, the first being in 2008. Since then, it appears that they have added a second building to the property. The staff was nice enough to give us a room at 9:00 after flying overnight. We stayed in a VERY small room in the old part of the hotel but were grateful to... More

My family just came to Lima on a visit and they stay at the El Tambo hotel in Miraflores. Its a new place, clean and the service stuff is helpful. It does not have a lot of character but the price is good and the location is excellent with many restaurants nearby. They have a nice breakfast and a few... More

My daughter and I stayed two nights in a twin double. Hotel was within walking distance to outdoor mall and nice park on the Pacific coast. We were with a group of eight; we found the breakfast buffet more than adequate. Our only complaint would be the walls were thin; if we left our bathroom door open, we could hear... More

A very nice area in Miraflores and good walking distance to nearby shopping areas and restaurants. Rooms very clean and tidy as were other areas in the hotel. We had two two night stays here with very different rooms. The first room was adequate but comfortable if a little small. I am comparing this with our second stay when our... More

El Tambo is in a good part of Lima, but deep on a side street so there is little of interest right around the hotel. The hotel rooms were adequate but otherwise basic. Breakfast was fine but limited (fresh fruit, a couple hot choices, a couple cereal choices, bread, juice and coffee/tea). Restaurant also serves reasonably price lunch and dinner,... More

The location is great, walking distance of everything, the reason for the score, was the night staff of the hotel which let the hotel down. the day staff and the restaurant staff were great but the night staff could not be...

The rooms were small, but clean with comfortable beds. The hotel lobbies and grounds were very pleasant with free internet and nice breakfast buffets. The staff was very accomodating. Nicely located near shopping. Would go back. More

Too far away from things, but quiet at least. Rooms were clean, our view was of offices not far away. The breakfast was acceptable, but not especially good. If I'm in Lima again, I'll probably try another place instead. More
