New to Lima, this French hotel chain is a good option with a great location. There's a chic
Ikea look, blackout curtains and soundproof windows. The hotel is cleverly divided into
smoking and nonsmoking floors, though all rooms are on the small side. Biodegradable
toiletries and water-saving policies are a plus. Breakfast is extra.

The owner's wanderlust sets the tone for this welcoming hostel
tucked into a busy street. For those traveling in groups, it's well worth it, otherwise
singles pay the double rate. Guests can make free international calls, there's plenty of on-
site games and the location is central.
