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.

Best was Dennis who went above and beyond to help us book bus tickets online when the system kept timing out and wouldn’t take our credit card.

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 travelers know there's 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 little more.

    We arrived super early from an overnight bus journey (5.30am!) and were still able to check in straight away which was very much appreciated. The staff were very friendly and booked us taxis when needed. Room was clean and comfortable, very nice shower. Great location on a quiet street, only a 15min walk to Plaza de Armas.

    Everything was perfect, the rooms are nice, clean ans cheap. I likes the chill area with a lot of plants and an outside kitchen a lot. But the best part is that it is family owned and the owner Martín is super friendly and helpful, he gave me amazing tipps, also regarding tours and restaurants, and I could do a late check out which helped me a lot.

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