Sheraton Lima Hotel & Casino, Lima

Advantages: Great City
Disadvantages: Many problems of the capital

...Since I was born I've lived at this city, the capital of Peru, that it was founded on January, 18 ,1535 by the Spanish people, it was founded by Francisco Pizarro and for this time its the capital of Peru. Today this city has 4 million of people more or less that it is more or less 26% of Peruvian Population. If you don't kwown Lima, it was on the Coast or Pacific Ocean in the centre of our Coast more or less. If you like visiting Lima in whole season is right, because there's no problem with the weather. In my own opinion I recomend you visit Miraflores and Barranco and the cultural part of Lima was on the Downtown of Lima the there are churches, cathedral, and many other things... Read review

...I recently used KLM to fly from Birmingham to Lima, via Amsterdam. The whole experience was very satisfying. Checking in at Birmingham was a doddle, we booked through to Lima. The flights left on time. We were given a newspaper as we boarded the plane at Birmingham, followed by breakfast. After a short stop over in Amsterdam (Schipol is a lot better place to spend a couple of hours than Heathrow), we took off on the 13 hour flight to Lima. We were fed and watered often on the flight.

...Lima is not the best place to go on holidays, although some turist companies try to lie on this. This is the case of this hotel and the way they sell the city to foreigners. Yes, the hotel is nice, safe, it has facilities but only if you want to spend you money and time inside the hotel you are gonna be content. There is not much to do around the city. Miraflores, where the hotel is, is a nice place but people don't socialise very much and everything is more expensive for been one of the richest districts of the city. The hostel is quite cheap (for foreigners) and the people who work there are quite friendly. The services they offer are the basic usual ones. Good hotel and very central but in the wrong place. There is not much to do in the night in this part od Miraflores, you will always need to take a taxi in the night to go back... Read review
