Hotel Hampton by Hilton di Lima

This Hampton in Lima’s reliable San Isidro neighborhood is a magnificent one for any type of stay. - Location: It’s within walking distance to many must-see attractions and must-eat restaurants, as well as to public transit. San Isidro is safe and reliable for a tourist or business stay. A nice pedestrian median on Av Arequipa, which forms the western border of the hotel, offers a great way to access Parque Kennedy and Miraflores (basically straight south). No walk is longer than 30 minutes. - Atmosphere: The Hampton touches I’m used to were evident here, but they were elevated and enhanced in such a way that only non-USA Hamptons can accomplish. Touch surfaces were absolutely spotless, and natural light always filtered into the lobby through the large, wrap-around windows on the ninth floor (yes, the lobby is high up!). The property is not huge, but it’s just perfectly compact. - Service: A strong commitment to customer service is very clear. I never encountered a passive or unhelpful member of staff. Everyone seemed to greatly enjoy their job, and that type of joy is infectious. I was also impressed at the level of detail the staff remembers from previous days and relays to the rest of the team—if I had an issue that could only be taken care of the following morning, the hotel wouldn’t forget; they would check on me first thing the next day and ask if and when someone could fix it. That’s expected at a Ritz Carlton, not a Hampton…but that’s the beauty of Latin America! - Room: My quarters were fresh, spacious, and as clean as a COVID-era hospital. Does this place EVER age?! It doesn’t seem like it! Everything I needed for my one-night rest was provided in my room. Soundproofing was not quite to my personal standards, but that’s ok. - Value: Value-wise, this hotel rocks. Even though I booked at a discounted rate ($40) through Go Hilton, the average price seldom exceeds $100. Budget-conscious travelers with a craving for earning points will love this Hampton. Plus, the free, hearty breakfast for all makes it totally worth it. While it isn’t luxury, nobody can go wrong with this wonderful Hampton. I highly recommend it.
