The owner is friendly and helpful, he let me check in at 4am (night bus) and gave my great tips on what to do in the city and how to get around. The accommodation was okay but not at all what I had imagined. It's a place that works for a night and is cheap, but don’t expect a cozy atmosphere, meeting people, or a cute little room.

The lady who runs the place is incredibly hospitable and kind. It was a reasonable price for a very basic but private room. Wifi was good. There is a kitchen available for use. Breakfast available if you want. THE TORTOISES ARE AWESOME! And Trujillo city centre is actually pretty. The hostel is 100 metres from a pleasant walking street that leads all the way down to the main plaza.

“Everything great except cleanliness”
The owner was very sweet and kind. I was unwell and she kept checking on me and made me dry toast and tea. She was also very helpful with information and helped me book a taxi to Huanchaco on her app which was much cheaper than Uber. The location was very good. Only a few blocks from the main square and in the middle of the historical centre. The room was comfortable for the price. And there are nice common areas with hammocks and tortoises.

“Comfortable bed, great location, helpful staff.”
Bed was very comfortable, great location and the staff were very helpful. I had a night bus on my check out day and they let me stay late, no issues. The lounge area with hammocks was great too!

An amazing place where the staff is really friendly. I was alone in the dorm when I stayed except for the two turtles ! The atmosphere is really cosy and colorful. I loved it
