This is a great little hotel in an excellent location in Trujillo. It has a lovely ambience with many nice sitting areas in courtyards and on balconies. Rooms and grounds were all beautifully maintained. Front desk staff spoke enough English to give good instructions and maps marked to various archeological and historical sites we wanted to visit. It would have... More

Staff very helpfull. Rooms average very small tv no airconditioning just a fan. Beds more or less. OK for one or two nights not more. Close to main plaza and restaurants.

A great find! Excellent location and very inexpensive. Helpful staff who were happy to bring us more bathtowels when asked. Co-located and co-owned with a good travel agency where we booked local tours with English-speaking guides at a reasonable cost. No breakfast included but plenty of attractive cafes with good options nearby. A couple of reasons why we did not... More

After being recommended to us by a friend in Lima, we came to Trujillo and stayed in the Hotel Colonial. The interior of the hotel is absolutely beautiful, and has an amazing courtyard in the center. The location is fantastic, within a block of the main square, and two blocks from the main walking street, with hundreds of restaurants, casinos,... More

This seems to be the place to stay in Trujillo. We met many travelers there that we had met in other parts of northern Peru. Slightly pricey at 90 soles/double, but it's worth it. Clean rooms, nice beds, hot showers, a helpful staff, a good travel agency and a central location. What more do you want?

Paid 85 soles a night for a double room that was advertised as having hot showers. Well, no hot shower. Instead we had a cool shower with hardly enough pressure to provide a constant dribble, very disappointing. The bed had scratchy sheets and lumpy pillows. It's a real shame because the building is beautiful, the rooms clean, and the location... More

The Hostal Colonial may seem a little expensive, but the place is really great. The rooms are very nice, clean, quite big (especially the bathroom is not just a tiny 1m2 cell), they have hot water and the rooms are cleaned every day. The staff is nice and we can also recommend the thours they are offering. We went to... More

After seeing some other hostels is Trujillo, I chose Colonoal because it was for the same price as others, but offered more value for money. Location - very central, 2 blocks from the main square, relatively safe area Room - quite big, with TV (though they tell it is cable, it is not - only Peruvian channels), good shower with... More

The building, an old mansion is charming and convenient located - only five minutes from "Plaza de Armas". We took the students offer (backpacker offer) and got a basic and big double room, unfortunately the private bathroom smelled very bad. Although promised at the check-inn, no hot water (they let us shower in a different room where hot water was... More
