Trujillo
This long-time budget favorite has been given a fresh outlook by energetic new manager Daniel, who goes out of his way to ensure guests make the most of their time in Trujillo. Rooms are simple but are neat, spacious and freshly painted and empty out onto a bright cement courtyard with open kitchen.
Daniel will lead guests on city tours on request. Urban outdoorsie types will appreciate the rooftop area for pitching tents.
