4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

We stayed in a huge en-suite double room on the top floor. Bed was super comfy and bathroom very clean. The location of the hostel is within easy walking distance of the center of the Old Town. Staff were all extremely friendly, and the free luggage storage came in very useful for our short trip to Mindo. Breakfast was OK.

This is a hostal located on Avenida Olemedo near Avenida Los Rios near the Old Town which is about 1 KM away. The hostal is on a hill for those who will run out of breath climbing the hill in the high elevation. They have rooms that have double beds or triple beds to offer. The rates were reasonable ,...

This is our second trip to Quito, and this is by far the best place we'be stayed. Room on the second floor in the back was super quiet. Very comfortable beds, pool table in the lounge, free coffee and tea, good WiFi. Much better than the highly recommended hostel in the same area that we stayed in last time (and... More

They kept everything easy going and laid back.Our first night we were given a different room, two beds, which had an older... More

I spent three nights here a couple of weeks ago and would highly recommend it. It's in a great part of town (away from shade-ville aka la Mariscal, but only a $2-3 cab ride there - in old town but not in the heart of old town, so you avoid the tourist traps/dangers/cat calls. Just a few blocks to el... More

Some of the friendliest staff in south america, 2 kitchens to use, free pool table, free tea, coffee and water & awesome breakfast for USD3.50. Great common areas, comfortable rooms, only downside was the showers which only had hot water if the pressure was really low but everything else more than made up for it

When I travelled to Ecuador this year I stayed in 3 different hotels in Quito and this was the best value of the 3. The hostal feels just like an old colonial house with large rooms and spaces. The breakfast was one of the best we had in Ecuador and is available for a small extra fee. Location is convenient... More
