Strenua - Las Quintanas is located in a commercial and residential area near the historic centre of Trujillo. The main square is 950 metres from the property and hosts a variety of shops and places to eat and visit. Free WiFi access is available in this property.

This property is really nice, the staff were all friendly and helpful. Everything is clean, the rooms are spacious, at least the one we had. It included a bathroom, bedroom, a living room area, refrigerator, microwave. Our room here was bigger than some of the Airbnb properties we have been to. We thought it was nice that they bring your breakfast to you, since the rooms have a table area where you can eat. The shared kitchen has everything we needed. Hot water always available. The area that the hotel is in feels safe and is pretty close to everything, maybe 5 minutes' walk from the central plaza, very close to multiple grocery stores, lots of restaurants, etc. The place is located in a quiet street. The airport transfer service is reliable. Definitely one of the nicest places we've stayed in, if not the nicest.

Possibly my favorite stay so far in 4 months of traveling. Everyone was extremely friendly. The place is as clean as can be. Bed is super comfortable. Nice neighborhood location, with a very nice cafe and restaurant downstairs. Plenty of other restaurant options nearby also. I enjoyed Trujillo very much and plan to return. I wont even look for another option unless they don't have a room available for me.

717 Pizarro guesthouse in Trujillo provides adults-only accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Chan Chan Mud City is 700 metres from the hostel and Mansiche Stadium is 700 metres away.

It has an excellent location. Right at the historical center. Despite its location on the main business street, it is surprisingly quiet at night. The building itself is also a beautiful historic building from the republican era. The hotel owner is so nice, giving me all local insider’s tips about the city. He also helped me booking a tour around the archeological sites nearby for no commission fees.

Wonderful place in a safe nice area of Trujillo. There are many cafes and shops around with different cuisines, so you won't go hungry. Loved the room with "single room - garden view". Panoramic windows overlooking the artificial lawn provide a certain pleasure. Very polite and friendly staff here. they always monitor cleanliness and ask if you need to clean the room - this is very convenient, because they don’t come to you at an inconvenient time to clean up like in other hotels.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location. Quiet, secure neighbourhood. Easy walk to the old town. Buses to Chan Chan and Huanchaco go right past the end of the road. Short walk to El Dorado bus terminal for buses to Máncora. Nice top floor terrace sitting area with sunset. Fridge to store food. Cafe downstairs does good coffee. Staff were helpful and kept my luggage until my late bus. Big comfortable room, fast WiFi, good shower, lamp and sockets beside the bed.

    Nice budget accommodations. Quiet, safe neighborhood, a bit away from the downtown core, though easily walkable. Close to many of the bus terminals.

    The place looks even better in person than in the pictures. It's a small family-owned hostel, there is a really nice woman with an extremely sweet daughter (around 5 years) running it. They will make sure, that your stay is exceptional. On top of it, its located right in the center, in a very safe area.
