Hotel Espana Lima

Hotel Espana is one of Lima most distinctive budget properties, a lively and colourful historic centre hotel covered in original murals, antique ornaments, and free-range birds on its rooftop terrace. Located on Jiron Azangaro in the heart of Lima UNESCO-listed historic centre, the hotel offers a range of rooms from dormitories to private doubles, all furnished with free Wi-Fi and shared or private bathroom options. The rooftop terrace is a social hub where travellers meet, and the hotel relaxed, creative atmosphere has made it a longstanding favourite on the South American backpacker circuit. The surrounding neighbourhood is packed with colonial architecture, the Convento de San Francisco with its famous catacombs, the Government Palace, and Plaza de Armas, all within walking distance. Local street food and traditional restaurants line the nearby streets at prices well below Miraflores levels. The front desk team is knowledgeable about Lima and Peru travel, and can assist with tours to Machu Picchu, Cusco, the Amazon, and the Nazca Lines. Hotel Espana is best suited for adventurous, flexible travellers who value character and location over luxury fittings.
