If you have thought about traveling to Lima, Peru, let me start off by saying you will love it. With a rich history, beautiful culture, and some of the most interesting sights in the world, it is a great place to spend your holiday vacation. But if you have been looking at Lima hotels, you may have noticed that there are a lot of choices for either very little money, or way too much.

It may seem like a tempting idea to go with one of the hotels that costs around $8 USD per night for a stay, and you may be thinking what an incredible deal that is. But keep in mind this is not actually a regular occurrence in Lima, where other hotels could cost as much as $300 a night. In the end, you get what you pay for, just like in any other city, so keep that in mind when you make your choice.
