Excellent locationd and breakfast is also good. Only thing is that it’s not soundproof so you can here the cars and siren of ambulance if your room is next to the road.

Hotel Estelar Miraflores
VERY good location in the heart of Miraflores and can access a lot by walking. The hotel is very nice, with beautiful stone constructions indoors. The Juan Valdez coffee shop built-in is a great option for coffee and bites. This is my second time staying there and not the last.
