Lima has the largest choice of hotels in Peru. The quality of accommodation in the provinces varies considerably, but hotels are frequently of a good standard. Hotel prices in the provinces are lower than in the capital. The level of comfort, quality of service and general infrastructure are the criteria for inclusion in each grade.
Prices vary accordingly.
Hotels of the higher categories might also add 1-13 per cent service charges. No formal arrangements exist in Peru. There are 34 youth hostels in the country with dormitory, single or twin rooms. They usually have a bar or cafeteria and a kitchen.
