Hotel El Ducado

My neighbor recommended this hotel. He stays there when he visits family in Peru. I am glad I followed his recommendation. Pros: Central location, safe neighborhood, colonial décor, ample terrace overlooking a beautiful interior courtyard, excellent breakfast, attractive, friendly, helpful, competent staff. Cons: No elevator or air conditioning, a few tiny red ants in the room, no signs advising against the drinking of water from the tap, no supply of bottled water.

Overall it was a good experience.The hotel crew was helpful and polite.The rooms were clean. One cool night I tried to raise the temperature of the room but it did not work. During check out about 11:00 pm ,the clerk ask me for my credit card and I hand it to him,and it took him a few minutes to complete the transaction. I ask him to call me a taxi,about half way from the hotel to the airport the clerk calls the taxi driver and informs him that I forgot my credit card. Then the driver wants to charge me Twice the fare. Nevertheless I did have a Good time in Miraflores.

It was a wonderful stay at Hotel El Ducado, surprisingly quiet even with a room facing the main street. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The wi-fi worked great. The breakfast was meager, but you cannot beat the value of this hotel for the price in the Miraflores neighborhood. I'm happy we found this hotel and I would stay again.

Good hotel but not for families with baby car. They do not have lift.

This is a really nice hotel for the price. The personel is great and very helpful. The one issue is breakfast that does not compare well with other hotels in the same class around.

I stayed here in May of 2012. I have never had such a terrible hotel experience in my life. First the rooms were very dirty and smelled terrible. The bathroom was in terrible condition. The staff were very nosy and constantly in my personal business. The hotel looks much better in the pics which are very misleading. The staff there do not like seeing an american man with a local peruvian woman. I was constantly harrassed by the staff at el ducado. I eventually had to leave 2 nights early due to the constant harrassment. DONT STAY AT THIS HOTEL. I WAS OVER CHARGED FOR EVERYTHING!!!

Please o please do NOT stay at hotel el ducado!!!! The room was in terrible condition. The room was not clean and smelled terrible. The hotel looks better in pics than in person. The staff was constantly in my personal business making trouble for me and my finance. One night she called my room . they refused to transfer the call and told her i had another woman in the room. They over charged me for everything and did not even have my reservation ready when i arrived. I had to beg to get the room cleaned. The room was never cleaned. Do NOT Stay there!!!

The hotel is old, not well maintained. There were fungus in the toilet. Creepy! We reserved a king bed, and they offered to change to a Double Bed because it wasn't clean yet.

Rooms are not air conditioned but fortunately it was not too hot during my visit.

This hotel is very comfortable and is in a great location, you are able to walk to most places or a short taxi ride to the city centre. However I found it hard to get wet in the shower and the staff I found were not very friendly or helpful.
