There are only two hotels I use when I go to Trujillo, both chica friendly, both within your budget, both within three blocks from the Plaza de Armas.

The one I like the most is Hostal Solari [Solo usuarios registrados pueden ver este link ] (works best with IE). The cost for a simple room is US$ 30.00 but you can negotiate it to US$ 25.00 if you say "Pago en efectivo, no con tarjeta" (I'll pay cash, not with credit card). Those words are like a password for reduced fares at most Trujillo hotels.

When Hostal Solari is full (not something uncommon) I use Hostal Almagro which is one block down the same street (Almagro street). This one is somewhat older (older but not run-down), somewhat cheaper ( US$ 22.00 / US$ 17.00 ) and, girls wise, somewhat more friendly; but otherwise very similar. Hostal Almagro does not have a website that I know, but I have never found it full.

What will happen (in both places and in most small hotels in Peru for that matter) is that you may end up getting a better room than the one you are paying for (with no extra cost) if all the simple rooms are taken; it happens to me more frequently than not.

The other Hotel I’ve been in is Hotel San Andrés [Solo usuarios registrados pueden ver este link ]. Also US$ 30.00 for a simple room, also US$ 25.00 for “pago en efectivo”. It is a better hotel but I don’t know how chica-friendly it is. It happens to belong to one of my best customers (whose factories I visit in Trujillo, providing me the perfect excuse to travel there at my company’s expense) so I stayed there my first time in that city. Problem is that all of the executives of that company stay there when in Trujillo, which is good for my business but bad for my nightlife; so I have stayed away from it ever since. Although I can’t imagine them not allowing a foreign guest to receive a female visitor in his room providing she is not making a scandal, I can’t, however, be completely sure.

There are a lot of other good chica-friendly hotels within your budget in Trujillo, but when I find one that accommodates me I tend to stick to it; so even if I frequently travel the whole peruvian coast, I usually know only one or two hotels in each city. I'm sorry not being able to be more helpful.
