  • The variety of souvenirs.
  • Not enough toys.

“This hotel was a lively breath of fresh air, full of souvenirs, great sweets, sites and sounds. Just what a tourist needs. I enjoyed the small cafes and vendors as much as the shopping. You might want to try walking around to see most of the vendors before purchasing, so you can get a good comparison, since some of them have the same things but with better bargains. You will have to bargain yourself unless you don't care. Take a Peruvian friend if you can to help. I would visit this place again and again. The close proximity, walking distance, to the Plaza de Mayor makes it even more attractive.”
