Smaller than expected
Significantly smaller than shown in pictures, including the bed. Breakfast staff worked diligently but could not keep up with the crowd between 0730-0830. There was no elevator so we climbed 4 floors every time. While the front photo is of the courtyard, you will never be in there.

The property is old and dated. No tooth brush or slippers are provided. You can not throw toilet tissue paper in the toilet and there are no lifts. The breakfast is the same every day and the quality is poor. Most of the staff were ok, but they were predominantly not friendly and welcoming. There was a female receptionist that worked during daylight hours at the hotel check in check out, she was rude and very cold. The winning point is the hotel location.

Surprise!
We arrived at night so we could not appreciate the beauty of the hotel, the surprise was the next day, how beautiful, the architecture, the combination of the modern with the past, is a very special corner with a special touch to which we will return. The excellent location, the fantastic breakfast, the cleanliness and the comfort of the room, 100 percent recommended. A very pleasant stay.

Great place but...looking for every penny
The place is very beautiful but they charged me more than what we agreed. I told them that the transaction was higher than expected but they refused to solve it

The bed was advertised in Expedia as being a pillowtop mattress; however, none of the beds in that hotel are pillow top. The room was kind of dreary with no art and a bit small. Most of the staff could not speak much English. The rooms use an actual key rather than card - those can be copied... And there is no night lock up deadbolt. Otherwise the place is OK, the breakfast buffet was the same each day, but good. There is a nice garden area for al fresco dining or hanging out.

I love the Ducado Hotel in Miraflores.
My neighbor recommended this hotel. He stays there when he visits family in Peru. I am glad I followed his recommendation. Pros: Central location, safe neighborhood, colonial décor, ample terrace overlooking a beautiful interior courtyard, excellent breakfast, attractive, friendly, helpful, competent staff. Cons: No elevator or air conditioning, a few tiny red ants in the room, no signs advising against the drinking of water from the tap, no supply of bottled water.

Nice hotel ,close to parque Kennedy and Larcomar
Overall it was a good experience.The hotel crew was helpful and polite.The rooms were clean. One cool night I tried to raise the temperature of the room but it did not work. During check out about 11:00 pm ,the clerk ask me for my credit card and I hand it to him,and it took him a few minutes to complete the transaction. I ask him to call me a taxi,about half way from the hotel to the airport the clerk calls the taxi driver and informs him that I forgot my credit card. Then the driver wants to charge me Twice the fare. Nevertheless I did have a Good time in Miraflores.

Great stay at Hotel El Ducado
It was a wonderful stay at Hotel El Ducado, surprisingly quiet even with a room facing the main street. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The wi-fi worked great. The breakfast was meager, but you cannot beat the value of this hotel for the price in the Miraflores neighborhood. I'm happy we found this hotel and I would stay again.

worse hotel experience in my life!!
I stayed here in May of 2012. I have never had such a terrible hotel experience in my life. First the rooms were very dirty and smelled terrible. The bathroom was in terrible condition. The staff were very nosy and constantly in my personal business. The hotel looks much better in the pics which are very misleading. The staff there do not like seeing an american man with a local peruvian woman. I was constantly harrassed by the staff at el ducado. I eventually had to leave 2 nights early due to the constant harrassment. DONT STAY AT THIS HOTEL. I WAS OVER CHARGED FOR EVERYTHING!!!

My worse hotel experience ever!!
Please o please do NOT stay at hotel el ducado!!!! The room was in terrible condition. The room was not clean and smelled terrible. The hotel looks better in pics than in person. The staff was constantly in my personal business making trouble for me and my finance. One night she called my room . they refused to transfer the call and told her i had another woman in the room. They over charged me for everything and did not even have my reservation ready when i arrived. I had to beg to get the room cleaned. The room was never cleaned. Do NOT Stay there!!!

El Ducado -comfortable hotel in central location
This hotel is very comfortable and is in a great location, you are able to walk to most places or a short taxi ride to the city centre. However I found it hard to get wet in the shower and the staff I found were not very friendly or helpful.

Freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, mit welchem wir uns gut in Englisch verständigen konnten. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Heizung, was sehr unüblich auf unserer Perureise war. Zur Küste und Einkaufszentrum Larcomar waren es nur wenige Minuten zu Fuß. Auch die Bushaltestelle für den Airport-Express konnten wir in wenigen Gehminuten erreichen. Insgesamt war das Zimmer sehr hellhörig, aber das ist in Peru scheinbar üblich, wie wir nach einigen Hotels festgestellt hatten. Die Gegend erschien uns sehr sicher und wir fühlten uns sehr wohl.

Hotel très bien situé, au calme et confortable
La première nuit j'ai eu un appartement au lieu de la chambre réservée, en rez de chaussée,froid et sombre et je n'ai pas apprécié du tout après 12h de vol et le décalage horaire. Par contre lorsque j'ai exprimé mon inconfort, ils m'ont attribué rapidement pour les 4 nuits suivantes une autre chambre correspondant à ma réservation et beaucoup plus agréable. A part ce petit incident, le séjour a été presque parfait. Le patio intérieur très agréable et très bon petit déjeuner. Excellente situation de l’hôtel dans le quartier Miraflores tout près de la promenade de bord de mer et des principaux sites. Mobilier un peu vieillot mais propre et les lits confortables.
