El Golf Hotel Boutique, Lima
El Golf Hotel Boutique is a charming, family-owned retreat tucked away on a quiet street in Lima’s exclusive San Isidro district. Housed in a meticulously renovated neo-colonial mansion, the property strikes a perfect balance between its mid-century architectural roots and modern, bespoke interior design.
The hotel features only 20 luxurious rooms, ensuring a peaceful and personalized atmosphere. Guests often spend their time in the beautiful courtyard garden, which houses a small swimming pool and lush greenery, providing a serene escape from the bustle of the Peruvian capital. Inside, the design thoughtfully blends original 1950s and 60s elements with custom-made contemporary furniture.
For those looking to explore, the location is ideal. You are just a short drive from the fashionable Miraflores district and within easy reach of major local attractions. Nearby landmarks include the historic Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Inca ceremonial site, and the beautiful Olivar Park, which is famous for its ancient olive groves.
Whether you are enjoying fusion cuisine at the on-site bistro or relaxing in the spa, the hotel feels like a private sanctuary. It serves as a sophisticated base for travelers who want to be close to Lima’s embassies and boutiques while enjoying the comfort of a quiet, historic home away from home.

Beautifully appointed manor in a nice area of Lima.
The pool and courtyard were small but I would have gladly used them but for the overcast day. The ambiance was wonderful. Staff and room beautiful. Foyer welcoming. Breakfast delicious buffet.
During the brief time we were there I'd hoped to get rested up before heading back home to the snowy north unfortunately we had bad timing and the beautiful manor had workman jackhammering and pounding below us us from 7.00 am to 5.00 pm. So my sleep in and nap were non-existant.

OK but needs better maintenance. Value for money could be better.
24 hr reception, location, nothing else.
Value for money, general state of rooms and common areas. In need of refurbishing.

I love staying in this hotel every time I visit my family in Lima.
My room was simple yet very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was good and tasty. The hotel's main living room, small restaurant, and patio with a pool are all inviting and pleasant. The staff was friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with any request.
A better showerhead.

Good value for money!
The location is great! The room is spacious.
The room was a bit dated with scratches on the walls. Breakfast was quite basic. Otherwise a great stay!

Calm, clean, amazing personnel, tasty, stylish
The place is great. As a solo traveler I felt safe and easy there. The bed was huge and very comfortable (not super soft but proper hardness level).
The most important is the staff, all are very welcome and nice literally everyone who works at the reception are always there for you and so open to accommodate your needs.
All would speak English! For Peru it is something special!
Also they were so flexible for me with all my demands.
They prepared breakfast for me at 5:45 am do just 1 person, then it was possible to check out a little later and they were so kind about it.
That place felt home like and I really had rest there after all non stop traveling.
Internet was good enough maybe could be better for work calls but I managed just okay.
Also it is a very quiet area with supermarket nearby and laundry next door.
20 mins walking to the sea side.
I preferred this calm and peaceful area.
Also the reception is beautiful and it is pleasure just to stay there for a bit.
I appreciate for how good I felt in this hotel due its vibe and the most importantly the personnel.
Also breakfast was super nice since there is selection of fruit and also they change the menu every morning.
I recommend it to couples and to solo travelers.
Also they provide nice shampoo paraben free and with agar oil that feels nice on a long hair.
Maybe shower head could be replaced for the newer one and a complementary bottle of water in the room on the arrival but it is just as a suggestion a very nice lady at the reception can refill you own bottle if you have one

Terrible dude receptionist, good location
The location was good
The night shift dude employee was incredibly rude. They gave me a room next to the reception and when i complained about their squaky chair in reception the employee told me I was too sensitive to noise and I should've mentioned that in my reservation. Im not too sensitive the noise was coming even through my ear plugs.

Clean and tidy boutique hotel with friendly staff.
Location was good near my work commitment. The beach is nearby as are some cafes but this is a residential area.
I had a cheap rate and the room was fine. If I wanted a view I’d pay more. The yoghurt at breakfast is not as good as other food items.

Disgustingly loud all-night sex party
My wife and I have been stayed at El Golf Hotel a number of times over the past few years. We like the fact that the halls are carpeted, which can make it quieter. The women at the front desk have been very helpful in arranging taxis for us to places in Lima and the airport. We have tipped them as a result.
El Golf Hotel Boutique didn't respond satisfactorily to our complaints: There was an all-night sex party in the room immediately below ours that ruined our sleep and traumatized us one night during our last stay at the hotel. Just think about hearing vividly audible gasps of sexual pouding and climax -- because that's what it was. Another night there was an all-night party next door and the overnight manager only moved us to another room after testing the noise decibels in our room. He should have moved us right away.

Small, quaint hotel tucked in a quiet neighborhood in Lima
It felt like you were staying in a home, so it felt much more cozy and relaxing than your typical hotel. The staff was very attentive and eager to help you feel comfortable and at ease. The area where they serve breakfast was lovely and inviting.

Lovely, friendly hotel in San Isidro
After a long trip around South America, we booked El Golf Hotel to spend our final 2 nights in Lima. It was very affordable, and exceeded our expectations. The staff were some of the most helpful and friendly people I've ever met - Maria Pia in particular, made sure that our stay was comfortable, and went above and beyond whenever we had any questions. The chefs were also very attentive and friendly (plus made an excellent Pisco sour). The room was really spacious and clean, the bed was so comfortable. The pool area was being decorated at the time but we were still able to use it, and it was a nice relaxing spot to spend the afternoon. We didn't have breakfast, but we did have a sandwich for lunch which was tasty. The area is nice and we felt safe - it was an enjoyable walk to other parts of town.
Nothing at all.

Great value and fabulous staff
The staff were so kind and welcoming. We arrived very early in the morning and allowed us to check into our room early. Bed was very comfortable and room was spacious and clean.
The shower wasn’t amazing . Took a while for water to get warm and there was no shower head - more like a tap

Wonderful small hotel in San Isidro
A gem of a hotel in San Isidro. This is a wonderful small hotel. The rooms and beds were comfortable. The common areas are elegant and striking. The staff was incredibly helpful with everything I needed. It is closer to the airport than Mira Flores and is a great place to stay after arriving in Lima, or to be closer to the Larco museum. It was highly affordable for such a nice place. I prefer a hotel with charm and character over many of the cookie-cutter options. I look forward to staying here again!

Fantastic boutique hotel for a relaxing stay
Great value for money, beautiful decor, comfortable room and lovely quiet pool. Staff were really lovely and accommodating and let us check out a bit later to enjoy the pool on our final day in Lima. 20 mins wall away are great restaurants and bars and the general area felt very safe with security guards around the streets and various properties. The best place we stayed in Peru!
All was great.

El Golf has quality facilities & very helpful staff
El Golf Hotel – Room 122
I’m so happy I chose El Golf hotel to start and then to finish my 2 week trip at high altitude.
To be able to relax at sea level before and after, and to enjoy the lovely little swimming pool and quiet neighbourhood, was perfect for me. The staff were wonderful too, courteous and punctual, and helpful with my questions. And when I couldn’t find a restaurant in the area,
I was able to order from a wide menu in the hotel. Lovely broad breakfast too. Thank you so much. PS: I was concerned that I would be surrounded by golf-playing guests (I don’t play!). But all the other guests were quiet and polite too.
One downside was mediocre cooked meals. Breakfast fine, but standard of meals not so good. Not terrible, just less than the hotel quality would suggest

Calm and clean but photos and score made it seem better than it was.
A calm and safe neighborhood, we asked for earlier check in and they were helpful
Too little breakfast, the pool was a disaster, the photos were not matching reality.

Decent hotel, but not well maintained
Also no elevators.
