Hotel Melia Lima Review: What To REALLY Expect If You Stay

Pros

Well-equipped fitness center and a small outdoor pool
Budget-friendly spa, with salon, dry sauna, and Turkish bath
Adequate international restaurant on-site
Large staffed business center and 9 meeting rooms
Free wired Internet in all rooms, and free Wi-Fi in public areas
Free parking

Cons

Location is not convenient to tourist attractions
Overpriced for what it offers
Dated Deluxe (standard) rooms with old tube TVs
No Wi-Fi available in rooms (only wired Internet)

Bottom Line

This four-pearl business hotel, located on the western edge of residential San Isidoro, is perfectly adequate, though nothing about it really stands out. The small outdoor pool is average, and the spa -- though affordable -- is somewhat uninviting. There is a nicely equipped fitness center, and the business center is spacious with multiple computers and free coffee. Most of the 180 rooms aren’t anything special, with somewhat bland decor, and in some, old tube TVs. The Level, which is the concierge floor, offers more bang for the buck -- with free breakfast buffet and an evening open bar, as well as rooms with flat-screen TVs, deep Jacuzzi tubs, and a more contemporary style. It's worth comparing rates with the Sonesta Hotel El Olivar and the Swissotel, both of which have more central locations in the San Isidoro neighborhood.

Location

On a main thoroughfare on the western edge of residential San Isidro, far from attractions

The Melia Lima is located on the far western edge of residential San Isidro, right on the border with Magdalena del Mar neighborhood. While San Isidro is a lovely quiet area, home to the renowned Lima Golf Club and numerous embassies, this part feels seedier and not all that safe. The hotel stands directly on one of the main thoroughfares in Lima, which offers easy access to the airport, but it is far from local attractions, restaurants, and shops.

30-minute drive to J Chavez International Airport
6-minute drive to the Lima Golf Club
10-minute drive to Museo Amano, a museum of pre-Columbian artifacts
11-minute drive to Miraflores Central Park and John F. Kennedy Park
12-minute drive to Huaca Pucllana, the only remaining pre-Incan ruin in the area
14-minute walk to the Parque del Amor, a romantic park overlooking the Pacific Ocean
17-minute drive to the Larcomar shopping mall
16-minute drive to Lima’s Historic District
16-minute drive to the Cathedral of Lima
