During my 'last busy day' in Lima (part I, part II, with part III to come), I decided that I did want a place to stash my luggage and maybe nap and shower before my late night flight back to la CDMX. So after my tour of Museo Pachacamac but before my chocolate workshop I scanned Booking.com for something close and inexpensive. I landed on Hotel Casa Suyay. It had solid reviews, was right in Miraflores, and would cost me ~$31 for the night. Deal.
It's right near Parque Kennedy & Parque 7 Junio, which was convenient for what I had on the agenda rest of the afternoon (a workshop at ChocoMuseo and some shopping at Inka Plaza).
Nice enough 'curb appeal' as you walk up to the entrance. This particular street within Miraflores appears to be a calm mix of residential, cafes, and light retail.
Decor is a version of rustic chic, though with definite bullfighting and taxidermy aspects that might be offensive to some. But the reception area is clean, nicely detailed, and they offered me a muña tea while I waited for my room to be available. Pleasant.
Room was about what you could expect for $31. Basic, with a view of a wall nicely painted to give the sense of greenery.
Bathroom was actually solid. Large. Older, but large.
My car picked me up around 7:30 I think, so I wasn't there later at night and obviously didn't stay over, so no idea what it's like to sleep there. I imagine it could be a solid budget option if you're just passing through for a night coming from / going to other parts of the country. I paid $31 for ~5 hours of luggage storage, a hot shower, and a short nap and was happy with my decision.
Update: found a couple shots of the street the hotel is on, which I took walking back from my ChocoMuseo activity.
