Ayenda Casa Aika

Great place to stay and give your money to locals instead of corporations! Amazing hospitality and people, and communication was great leading into stay! They also helped us out greatly with local taxi . Overall great place to stay that is safe.

It has Hotel Americana on the front now, but is the same name. What a great option! Yes, very basic, but in a fun area to explore. The couple managing it are so incredibly friendly and helpful! More Americans (like myself) and foreigners who enjoy patronizing family-run local places over the big corporate chains will appreciate this. The Museo Larco is a 5 minute walk. There are about ten parks in the area, including a large and well lit one just to the south (check out its Ombu tree supposedly planted by Bolivar). The local bus (or a taxi) can run you down Av. Bolivar to near Av. Brasil, where I found a great collection of local restaurants and panderias. Just a very authentic Peruvian neighborhood and local place--at least to me, much more fun than the lifeless corporate high-rise hotels in Miraflores (and for a fraction of the price). An easy base for to/from nights from the airport, as well, which is just 15-20 mins. away (and only 35-40 Soles by Uber). I highly recommend this, though I do admit that it is too modest for many First World, high-comfort need types. Here, and in this area, you definitely feel like you are overseas.

I liked the location and the king size bed in the Suite room was very comfortable. I didn't like having to wait for the door to be opened to us every time we wanted back in and I thought it was a little strange that we had to leave our room keys behind every time we stepped out. We had a Suite room with a mini fridge and cupboards but there was nothing in those cupboards, no glasses or utensils. We could have borrowed some from the common room in the lobby but nothing was in the room. We only stayed for two nights so it wasn't a big deal. The comfort of the bed made up for it all.

I couldn't sleep well there is a roaster in the back of the hotel and you can hear him everyday at 5am, they got problems with the tv cable so i couldnt watch tv ,on my last day some people look like have a party , also the rooms are not sound prove

It was ok but I think there are better options. Also, they gave us a room in front of the receptionist desk and were socializing loud late at night. I asked them to quiet down as it was late and it made no difference. This was on top of hearing the door bell and street traffic.

Like - the price is great and the staff are warm and friendly. Dislike - we booked this place to rest for a few hours before our late night flight. We were given Room #1 and now I understood prior reviews on ******* about this room. It was really noisy - we could hear the staff talking and laughing, anyone going into and leaving the hotel, and cars/motorcycles start outside.... And the noise was non-stop. We couldn't rest at all. I don't think it's wise (or border line ethical) to use Room #1 as a guest room because of the non-stop noises. Other parts of the hotel look fine. My review is only for Room #1

Very friendly staff though they DO NOT speak English. They did not answer my texts or emails. It is a Hotel/Hostel. The only way to get in is you have to ring a buzzer and be buzzed in. The gate is ALWAYS locked. I was greeted by a young man we definitely did not understand me and had to call his mother to come check me in. If you do book this hotel do NOT let them put you in room number 1 You will hear everybody walking up to the hotel and then all night long you hear the buzzer for the door. The check in desk is literally right under the interior bathroom window! I had to close the bathroom door to try to muffle the sound but it really didn't work. Not only that, you can hear the family talk as if they are in your room. I could hear every single person check out and then hear them walk down the hallway and out the door all morning long. The room was comfortable and clean as was the bathroom, but the room has no Heat or Air con! Thank goodness I found a blanket in the closet! Would I stay again? NO. If I had a different room maybe the answer would be different. But the owners are very nice.

It's a sex hotel. Not very clean, but the manager of the place was nice.

Rooms did not appear like the pictures online. Checking in was a hastle, they said they didnt have my reservation even though they confirmed in email and even messaged offering transportation from the airport. Once checked in they gave us the wrong room and when we were set up to work they made us pack everything up and change to a different room. Once finally working the wifi was terrible and cut out frequently. The woman at the desk did try to help and let me use a different area of the building but the wifi was still bad. In the new room they switched us in to there was urine on the toilet seat. Loud guests, you can hear everything going on through the hallway. We were under the impression this was a bed and breakfast. But this is a Hostel. We feel as if we were "catfished" with this property. It was such a hastle checking in especially since the person there only spoke spanish (they advertise as speaking english and other languages as well as Spanish) that we didnt bother asking for a refund. We ended up buying another hotel to stay in for the next 7 days after we stayed there the first night.
