Overall Ratings & Reviews Qema Lima

The receptionist was kind and attentive. The people at the restaurant were great to talk to and the transportation to the airport was quick, and safe.

We stayed here in July 2023, it was so good then that we returned for 2 weeks Jan 2025. However, it now seems to have new management/owners. The restaurant is now a sushi restaurant after breakfast hours, instead of a bar/restaurant for residents (and non-residents) in the evenings. Breakfast used to be amazing, a very good choice of menu every day, with excellent food. Now it is a buffet, where very little attempt is made by the restaurant staff to maintain the food available, the cutlery, the crockery, and the cleanliness of the tables. Every morning I had to ask for at least 3 items: a spoon/milk/ fork/bowl/glass/fruit/etc. Staff were more concerned with their phones than checking the buffet requirements. I saw just one table being wiped down during my stay. Otherwise, the room was fine, bed comfortable, cleaned whenever requested, water hot. The Reception staff were polite, helpful and I have no complaints there.

Location

Our room was just as expected from the photos online so I was very happy. Very comfortable and liked the side tables and outlets, was very convenient. Bathroom was clean and water was hot! Staff was very helpful always.

Excellent place to stay for budget minded travelers. Very convenient for Miraflores area. The staff was very friendly and helpful.If money is no object you may be happier at one of the newer hotels at 3 or 4 times the price. This is more a hostel than a hotel.

Fantastic location, comfy beds, enjoyed the free breakfast. Bathroom needs some work - the shower was awful. Lockers are very small and stiff to open.

The rooms where not bad. The bathroom has opportunities for improvement. The staff for the most part were attentive and friendly. However, they put me next to a room with ongoing construction. Every morning was loud to say the least. On the 3rd day, I requested a comped breakfast due to the noise. Front desk attendant (women) acknowledged the ongoing construction but stated that because the other tenants didn't complain, that she would NOT offer me a comped breakfast. From there I packed my bags and went to Good Source. It was 4 times a much but damn it was MORE than 4 times as nice. I probably will not go again. To be fair, I wasn't going to ask for a comped breakfast but after that 3rd night in s row of being woken up repeatedly, I thought it was only fair.

Check-in was fine even though we were later than intended. The room initially allocated had a mouldy smell to it but we were given another room immediately. The accommodation is in need of general upkeep but the location is central and the staff responsive and friendly.

Friendly staff, good location, overall good experience.

Everything was close to me .and the workers where very pleasant

Great location and clean room

the place they are in miraflores is amazing. the only problem it is the cars sounds with you want to sleep early.

Was great. VERY Comfortable bed.

Everything was five star except the bathroom sink was running only hot water so I used the bath tub to brush my teeth no big deal I still give it 5 srars

Very nice and affordable place to stay in Lima!

Had a great time at this hostel, highly recommended!

Just stayed one night. Perfect location and the staff was super friendly. Property was clean and up to date. Would definitely stay again

Mostly the staff. Upon the time I pick up my two large suitcases, carry on and a Backpack from their storage I did ask if I could have help but the young man completely ignore me. Windows could use more soundproof. Staff was constantly on their phones barely having control on who entered the building. That was concerning. I will not book again with this place.

The person helping for breakfast was very unfriendly and they really should provide another option for the welcome drink besides alcohol. I asked if I could have a welcome drink juice instead for breakfast and was told it’s only an alcoholic beverage we get at night. Which is really weird because Selina is supposed to be supportive of healthy living and lifestyle but then I was told I could only have an alcoholic beverage and I’m in the middle of recovering from cancer so I wasnt trying to risk my health and was giving no other options. So it was a bit disappointing.
