Disappointing Stay After Nearly 3 Weeks – Won’t Be Returning I stayed at Sonesta Olivar for nearly three weeks due to ongoing work in my apartment nearby. Initially, the hotel felt like good value for the price. However, the experience quickly declined. I was moved to another room during my stay, and on multiple occasions, I had to follow up with staff to request basic amenities that were either missing or not replenished after housekeeping. Despite clearly being a couple, the nightly sweets left on our pillow were always for one person — a small but telling oversight that reflects poor attention to guest details. The most frustrating part came at checkout. A staff member insisted I pay an 18% tax, even though my wife is Peruvian and we were staying together. I had only just arrived in Lima a few days prior, and this felt more like an opportunistic policy enforcement rather than a fair or welcoming gesture. Unfortunately, this experience reinforced the sense that some places in Lima still operate with outdated hospitality standards. I won’t be staying at Sonesta Olivar again.

We love this hotel! We were undecided whether to stay in Mira Flores or at the Sonesta. This was the perfect choice. Super comfortable beds, delicious buffet breakfast with eggs to order, excellent service and housekeeping, afternoonsnacks and turn down service. But special thanks to: Daniela at the front desk helped us with booking extra nights and with the business center. Freysa always took good care of us at breakfast every morning. Ariana made our room smell amazing and organized us. Ronald is the man! His pisco sours are the best in Lima. Plus he was our go to man any time we needed help. He helped us with so many things. We loved the hotel being nestled in El Olivar park. It was so quiet and peaceful here. We never even heard housekeeping in the halls and had to use an alarm to wake us up each morning. Lots of little shops and restaurants. We will miss watching residents in the park every morning during breakfast. We will definitely stay here again! Only room for improvement is responding to messages to this app. We had to call the hotel. They also arranged a taxi to pick us up at the airport on arrival.

a lovely quiet hotel in lima.

we really enjoyed this popular, gracious and quiet hotel. they had a great breakfast which was included in our bill. it was near some good restaurants in direction but a curcuitous hour-long walk to the main miraflores area. taxis are plentiful. a friend said we could use uber there but getting set up online in peru was a little troublesome - for me, anyway. the taxi fee fare to and from the airport was about 50 Soles ($16).i'd stay there again.

We arrived very late the night of check in (room 527) and the following morning there was a crew working very early with power tools next door (room 528) and we were not notified. They woke us up, the manager said they would investigate but nothing happened. We slept maybe 4 hours because of this. The hotel needs to be more mindful of when people check in and when work is being done.
