Palmira Hotel, Av. Belaunde 978 (just off Av. Augusto B. Leguia), Tel: (074) 224115, Web: www.palmirahotelchiclayo.com.pe . I would never have come across this excellent budget / midrange hotel had not been for Leo, who I had hitched a ride with when coming from Huancabamba. The hotel is a little over a year old and offers modern en-suite rooms (most with no natural light) that are well maintained with excellent beds / pillows, WI-FI, mini hi-fi and direct TV. Their advertised rates are 40, 50, 65 and 75 soles for 1, 2 or 3 persons, but Leo managed to get me a single for 25 soles; even without the discount, their advertised rates are still excellent value for money. They also have a suite for 80 soles and a VIP suite for 100 soles. The hotel is a twenty five minute walk North West of the Plaza de Armas, so you may need to take a taxi back in the evenings as it's not in a touristy area. The young team of three that ran the hotel were all very pleasant; Wilmer, the cleaner had a continues smile on his face and was a good laugh, as were Mirtha and Raquel, who was also a qualified masseur.
