Aku Hotels sits in San Isidro, one of those discreet four-star additions that travellers tend to bookmark before the rest of the city catches on. The modest location score reflects what guests actually feel on arrival, set away from the busiest corners of Lima, with the kind of rhythm a city traveller tends to want. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out an in-house restaurant and reliable wi-fi as the small things that add up over a stay. There's a particular atmosphere to the place, neither overdesigned nor neglected. Pull the review pages apart and you find around 640 reviews, with a strong consensus that's hard to engineer. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €37 a night, a fair-value entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. Stack Aku Hotels against the better-known names in Lima and the trade-offs become genuinely interesting.
