furniture are found throughout the rambling old building. The wood staircase that dominates the lobby leads up to cozy
balconies that overlook the sunny
patio. The hotel is nestled in a
quiet residential area, so nothing is likely to disturb your slumber. Three parks, including the lovely Parque Reducto, are within a few blocks. The
shops and
restaurants of Miraflores are a 10-minutes walk away.. Frommer's South America 2004 Named for a saint, this clean and very friendly neighborhood hotel aims high. Its goal is to be welcoming and comfortable, and it succeeds. The colonial building, near the commercial
center of Miraflores and several parks, has a
garden terrace, fireplace, and sitting
room. The
rooms, which are simply decorated but ample, have
private bathrooms. Because of street noise, ever present in Lima, you might ask for a
room with an interior
courtyard view.. The Inca Trail - Cusco Machu Picchu, by Richard Danbury Is recommended. Run by a helpful, polyglot manager (he even speaks Japanese), this is a good,
safe, clean place costing $45/55 (sg/ dbl, att,
breakfast).
] to leave a comment. Catherine, September 04, 2007. We were very satisfied with the pick up service and the attention at the hotel. I would recommend you to friends who may wish to travel to Lima. I hope everyone is recovering from the earthquake, it was very sad news and we had left Lima the day before. Christa, August 28, 2007 front
desk staffvery helpful. Suggested
restaurants,
tours and printed boarding passes..friendly and outgoing. Jamie...picked us up and got us to
airport on time...very professional. Excellent
breakfast...best rolls in Peru!!! Lovely stay...thank you. Ross, August 27, 2007. Enjoyed our stay with ye in Lima. The service including
airport transfers was excellent and the
breakfast was the best on our
trip to Peru. I would recommend yer hotel to anyone visiting Lima. Hope ye were not affected by the earthquake. Karen, August 25, 2007. Your hotel, accommodations, service and
airport transfer services were all excellent. We enjoyed your
quiet oasis in the middle of a busy city. Thanks for everything. Laurence, August 10, 2007. The service was great, Jose was a very friendly and talkative driver. His car was very clean and he drives very well. We had a comfortable journey, both to and from the hotel. We enjoyed our stay in the hotel, but did find street noise to be quite intrusive. Luke, August 10, 2007. We enjoyed our stay.
Airport pick up was fine, despite the late hour (we didn't see your man at first and started to panic, but when I went round again he was there).
Breakfast was good, and reception service was fine. Good to be able to park the rental car securely.
Rooms were basic but comfortable and large. Maybe an extra blanket would have been nice. Lots of noise from the street, but I guess that is Lima: at least it is an easy walk to the
centre of Miraflores, which is a big advantage. Linda, August 01, 2007. Traveling alone, I had been rather dreading my stay in Lima. I spent some time looking for a small,
safe, friendly, well-located, and reasonably priced hotel. San Antonio Abad fit the bill completely and more. Service was efficient (on-time pick-ups, well-appointed
room, excellent
breakfast), helpful (arranging
tours, storing luggage, giving directions, suggesting places to eat,
shop, etc., available email connection), and kind (welcoming smile when I came in from touring, etc., remembered my
room # and name). I would definitely recommend it to anybody looking for a pleasant, well-managed 'home-base' during their stay in Lima. Laura, July 21, 2007. Estuvimos sumamente contentos todos con el hotel, su personal, y el servicio en general. Luz nos ayudo bastante a orientarnos. Cuidaron nuestras maletas mientras que fuimos a Cuzco - una ayuda grande - etc. Estaria muy contenta de refirir otros amigos y familiares a su hotel y ojala volver con mi familia tambien. Gracias por toda su atencion. Geoffrey, July 21, 2007. We were very pleased with our stay at the Hotel San Antonio Abad. We thought that the services were a great value. We especially appreciated the ride from the
airport and the opportunity to rest and recover from our overnight flight. The hotel was lovely. The
courtyard was especially nice. Everything was well maintained and functioning. We're really glad that we found the Hotel San Antonio Abad on the
internet. Sarah, July 21, 2007. The service was excellent! We didn't have a single problem with any of the service and found everyone to be very friendly, especially Pedro and those who worked at the front
desk. Kevin, July 19, 2007. Thank you very much for all the great service. The reception at the front
desk was very helpful, professional and polite. The drivers were all courteous, and did a great job of meeting us at our pick up points and getting us on time to the
airport or hotel. The
breakfasts were great. I will gladly recommend your hotel to all my friends. Thank you for everything. Heather and Bill, July 18, 2007. Dear Paul, my partner and I were very impressed by the friendly and professional assistance provided to us by Hotel SanAntonioabad. We are located in Australia, and were a little nervous about undertaking such a big
trip to Peru, but you (Paul) made the whole process a pleasure. Viktor, July 05, 2007. We thank you and all your personnel service in Hotel San Antonio Abad. We were pleased with our choice of your very good hotel and very good place in Lima. Our travel was very nice and successful in Peru. Susan, June 18, 2007. Como siempre, disfrute de mi estancia en el hotel. Aprecio la profesionalidad del servicio y la atmosfera amistosa del hotel. Es muy util tener acceso al
Internet, y las habitaciones limpias y comodas, el desayuno rico y abundante me prepara para el dia. Ben and Sherrie, June 06, 2007. I would like to say that your service from start to finish was excellent. Both Sherrie and I felt that you took very good care of us, not only at staying at your hotel, but also with the
taxi service to and from the
airport. You were very accommodating in our request for a day
room. All front
desk staff were excellent in answering questions as well as helping get
taxi's and storing luggage. It made for a very enjoyable
trip. Thank you for a great stay! Yes we thought it was excellent and would recommend it for future use. The
breakfast was the best out of all our hotels/hostals. The staff was also very pleasant. Alejandra Gomez, May 22, 2007. El servicio estuvo muy bueno, el personal encantador, por cierto que se encuentran en nuestra primera prioridad al momento de recomendar un lugar agradable donde permanecer en Lima. We have stayed at your hotel each time we visit Lima and will do so again. Excellent and trustworthy service and helpful attendants. I have recommended your hotel to several people traveling to Peru. Declan, May 21, 2007. I thought your service was great. I have recommended San Antonio Abad to my friends should they visit Lima. Hope you and the other staff are well. Chuck and Brita, December 28, 2006. Your staff were so friendly and pleasant. When we arrived in the early hours in the morning from the
airport, they had smiles on their faces and a warm welcome for us. The
room was clean and comfortable. A wash cloth for the face included with the towels would have been nice. The
breakfast was tasty and what a nice view onto the enclosed
courtyard. Your staff helped us back to the
airport and again their friendly manner was appreciated. Overall, we found our short stay very pleasant and we would gladly recommend your lovely hotel to our friends or other travellers. Anne and Joergen, December 28, 2006. We were very happy with our stay at your hotel. Nice
room, excellent
breakfast and welcoming and competent service from all staff members. We will recommend your hotel if friends are going to Lima. And we wish you all a Happy New Year. Kind regards. William Janet, December 15, 2006. Hola Paul, I'm sorry I misplaced your message. Yes, I could have many positive comments. Your hotel is a gem - wonderful facilities, excellent location, and best of all ---- a staff that takes a genuine interest in making the guests comfortable. If Lima is our future again, we will be staying with you!!!! Annie Sevier, December 03, 2006. Very good hotel - well situated - friendly and helpful staff - good
transfer arrangements - we would definitely stay with you again if we were ever in Lima. Philip, December 03, 2006. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the service at Hotel San Antonio Abad. My wife and I were pleased to note that all aspects of your service were outstanding. All of the staff were competent, pleasant and accommodating. Our
room was always clean and comfortable.
Breakfast was made to order for us each day. At Reception, Luis and Maria were knowledgeable and very willing to answer questions and give assistance. Among the newer people, Lucia and Lizet were enthusiastic and exhibited great, positive attitudes. Julio, whom we also remember from our first visit, was always availa...
