If kindness counts when you travel, and the ability to trust the services offered, you can't find a better hotel. It's not five star, or even four star, so you have to expect not to have certain things you'd find in those much pricier hotels. True, there is no air conditioning, and true there's a lot of traffic outside, which... More

There's lots to like about Hostal Torreblanca, but it is right on a very busy roundabout constantly full of cars and buses honking their horns at all hours. The noise was too much for us to have our windows open, and with a broken fan, that meant stale hot air for most of the evenings. If only the building was... More

Stayed here for 2 weeks during my Global Volunteer service...wow...no better way to get immersed in Lima. Everyone was willing to help by going the extra mile...which ended up being needed. Guillermo, bless his soul, picked me up at the airport with a smile and sign with my name on it...a desperately needed sight after a long trek. After 9... More

I stayed here on and off for three weeks in while in Peru. It was always a welcome relief from other hotels in the country which usually had unrealized potential. For one thing Hostal Torreblanca has at least 5 different wi-fi connections. My entire trip was planned by myself and, although I printed a good chunk of my itinerary out,... More

Days after returning, I am still shocked this hotel was ranked so high on TripAdvisor. The lobby and eating area were both "nice"...the actual rooms were decent but ... the carpet in the hall was old and worn, our bathroom had an open window exposing what looked like old pipes and cob webs. There is no AC and the room... More

I stayed here with Team GB for the World Paddleboard Championships and had a great stay. We where in a great spot a couple of minutes walk from the beach and close to shops and places to eat. The staff where all really really nice and super helpful. The breakfast was the best I had in Peru!! My mouth is... More

Our group of 4 adults stayed 2 nights after visiting Cusco. The hotel was listed in Lonely Planet and the Moon guide. As well as being rated highly on Tripadvisor. However, the hotel was not a hidden gem. The rooms have no A/C so the fan will blow sticky hot air on you. The traffic noise outside will keep you... More

This hostal is a gem in the middle of Miraflores. I live in Lima and have recommended this hotel to two groups that came to visit me, and both groups left very satisfied. The staff are helpful and speak excellent English and Spanish, and they are always available to help with any questions or concerns. The hotel is a block... More

We stayed here for 12 nights whilst in lima competing in the world stand up paddleboard championships. The hotel is in a great location, the beach is only a five minute walk away, there are some nice restaurants five minutes away and the main centre of miraflores is only a 15 minute walk. The staff are very friendly, helpful and... More
