Excellent hotel
The hotel is clean and in quiet location.
The staff was very friendly.
The junior room was a little smaller than spected, but very clean and nice.
The bed was a queen and not a king, but very confortable.
The breakfast was excellente in quality a quantity
General rating for me is 4.8* excellent
We were early arriving and Mint were very helpful getting us settled in. Dinner was great and despite having to leave very early they offered to pack us a breakfast to go. Excellent staff all around.
The staff at the reception counter were very helpful and provided quick advice on different requirements. Also, the person at the restaurent and cleaning staff were very helpful.
We arrived 5:30am very early for checkin but the staff invited us to store our bags at reception, use the public spaces like their lovely lobby and go for breakfast at 6:00 in their restaurant. Check in normally isn’t until 3:00pm but we were allowed into our room at 9:30 am at no charge! We sure needed this after our night bus trip.
The room was large and spotlessly clean. The shower was hot and our room opened onto a quiet street. The hotel was super quiet as it’s on a private back street. The bed, pillows, and bedding felt luxurious! We had an amazing restful night!
The only issue for our trip was that the hotel was too far from the centre of town for us to walk there and back every day. We are seniors. We took a taxi to Plaza Mayor and it was only 8 soles, so not a deal breaker really. But we wanted to come and go from our hotel daily to see the sights for four or five days so it wasn’t convenient for us.
Lots of choices for breakfast which is included.
Very well priced.
Wished we could stay longer. Loved the hotel.

2.5 star boutique hotel.
The location is somewhat convinient.
There are no HVAC systems in the hotel so during the day, the rooms are hot as an oven and at night it's cold. Also, watch out for the extra taxes in addition to the amount you pay here at the hotels.com.
The hotel charges additional 8% for foreign passport holders provided they are in the country for less than 59 days.
If the foreign passport holder is in the country for 59 days or more, then the hotel will charge 18% even for foreign passport holders - we had to pay 18% additional taxes.
The breakfast is basic but make sure you know what you want to for sure because they won't allow replacement or more than they have allocated in their plate.
There are no breakfast pastries. They put the bread budding on the displace which are that good either. Please do not expect any croissants, Danish, or muffins. The tea and coffee selections are very basic.
The gym equipment is also very basic.
Hotel staffs are nice once you can break the ice.
Have a great view of Misti Mountain.
It's a smaller boutique-type hotel so it was fairly quiet. Not located near much (other than a nice supermarket) but taxis are inexpensive. ALL staff that I encountered were EXTREMELY friendly! I have already booked a return stay for February '23!

You can do better
The photos of this hotel really oversell its condition. The private parking is really street parking, and they will tell you to move the car if its in front of a particular neighbor's house who apparently gets grumpy. The receptionist told us off because my friends came into my room to chat about plans for the day for a few minutes (they were also guests, in a separate room). We stayed at QASA the two days prior and just wanted to switch it up but I wish we would have stayed over there.
El hotel muy limpio, la atención fantástica . Si lo recomiendo, el desayuno delicioso y el restaurante muy lindo en el quinto piso , tiene una vista muy bonita y la comida muy buena. Me encantó!!!
Viaje en familia, el hotel muy cómodo, moderno, limpio y con un excelente servicio, el personal siempre atento y servicial, un desayuno muy agradable, volvería sin dudarlo

Good stay, but not so good breakfast
Mint is a simple but nice hotel, the staff is very friendly. The bed and bathroom were nice, but unfortunately the desayuno was very poor. Just 4 options and nothing else, no yogurts, no fruits, just a simple fruit salad in one of the options. Happy New Year.
La habitación muy cómoda, el servicio desde la recepción, room service, limpieza y restaurante excelente. El ambiente bastante acogedor sin bullicio. Súper recomendado.
Hotel is clean and situated within 15 minutes walk from city center. Area is relatively quiet, better to get a room Not facing the road. Restaurant is decent and breakfast is good. The staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that we requested a taxi for 4pm for the airport and the young lady must have forgotten and called one when we showed up to check out. The taxi arrived at 4:17
