Good location but not clean
Dirty floor so will recommend anyone staying there to bring indoor slippers. Convenient location that is near sightseeing locations. Good security and a big lounge at the first floor.

For what you pay is not bad
There was bad smell in the room , carpet was very old and damaged , breakfast was nothing , the best thing of this hotel is location that is in the middle of historic places.
Overall a good place to stay. Nice and close to the historic district, with bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. Hotel was elderly with a few rough edges, but fine. Staff were friendly, and the laundry service was good. Internet service, though, was not great - spotty coverage, low speeds, and there was a complete outage for a couple of hours one day. Also, for the technically minded, you cannot establish an outgoing VPN connection - for some reason it is blocked.
Stuffs except for a front man can only speak spanish. No dryer. But overall comfortable.

-Does not have AC so if travel during non hot moths is perfect. they do offer fan . -Does not have buffet however included a breakfast good for the sale price, and lunch or dinner for afordable price. This seasoned old royal hotel is recommended if you going to Lima to walk to the plazas and palace and some free museums tours around the old historic sites. It included the breakfast not buffet style; the breakfast was simple coffee or tea choices, local bread, butter and jam, eggs to your choice scramble ,sunny side or boiled, and fresh fruit bowl. the rooms are clean, tv and cable and Wi-Fi included, got hot and cold water; Stayed and was able to walk to restaurant, movies, bars, plazas, and many others shopping experience, ;
ps
Does not have AC they do offer fan .
Does not have buffet
They have a door person in the front door to control how goes in and out they got cameras on lobby ,during night time the close the front door and opened to customers only so security is not terrible. Room key is a key not card.
overall good
The hotel is a classic type. It has character. All the staff were very nice, professional and helpful. I got to interact with Noe at the Front Desk and Lothar who work with the rooms. They are both great people. I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Continental.
Not hot water when showering during the day and common areas are very dark. No heat for the rooms so it can get chilly.
Staff was exceptional. Location is good. Rooms need renovation.

The town of Lima is wonderful but I recommend researching your hotel choices closely. The Continental seemed to accommodate the Expedia members in what was a mess than desirable location in the hotel. The hotel is due a hardware and security upgrade (door locks, bathrooms, etc.)
The window for the room is was given had construction noise in the day and nightclub noise at night.
This hotel is one of my favorite in Lima. Location is a important, it is right in the middle of the downtown area, right behind wonderful plaza San Martin and four blocks away from main square plaza the armas. Lots of walking streets filled with restaurants, bars and shopping stores, souvenirs, museum, etc. Again, the spot is amazing. Rooms are very comfortable, clean and organised though a bit small for american standards ( europeans would find them perfect size). The breakfast is simple but ok if you need to fill you up before you go. Otherwise, there are plenty of options just outside the building. When the price is good, this is a good hotel to stay in.

Very average hotel stay.
It looks better in pictures, very average, it definitively has seen better days. Noisy area. We choose because the location, otherwise find a better hotel for similar price. Shower looked old and not clean well. Overcharged for pickup at the airport, $80 soles. Since it was my first time and arriving very late and not having a local SIM card for cell I decided to go that way, but local taxi was charging $55 soles. Breakfast was pretty basic.
The hotel is really old. When arrived at 10pm, the door was locked. The area felt unsafe. The room was dirty and had a very musky smell. Tried to reach out to Expedia and the hotel for early checkout and unused nights, they said no. Breakfast was 7-9am but everything was out by 745am. Only one person was working so everything was super slow and told a long time to just get coffee. Very unorganized.
Parecía un hostal más que un hotel de 3 estrellas.

Expedia indique un prix en usd alors que l’hotel facture en PEN soles.Le taux de change n’est pas celui du jour mais un taux imaginaire hyper mauvais ce qui fait que vous payez 15% en plus que le prix annoncé par Expedia.Le réceptionniste a été indifférent à ma critique et m’a dit que si j'écrivais une mauvaise critique cela lui était égal.La chambre était correct,le petit déjeuner basique…..mais c’est globalement l’atmosphère qui est désagréable.
