This hostal has basic amenities (shared bathroom, no garden), but is squeaky clean and centrally located (only a couple of blocks from the Zona Rosa with its restaurants and bars). The neighborhood seems to be fairly safe, the hostal itself very safe (with locked courtyard). We enjoyed the hospitality of Yolanda who received us very late and gave us sandwiches... More

Carlos is a terrific host. Met us at UIO on time and took our bags. The downfall is the bathroom is shared. But that's normal for a hostel. Breakfast was wonderful . The ride is treacherous to get there that's all.

Carlos and Yolanda run a very lovely hostel in the trendy part of Quito. Short walk to restaurants and about a half hour walk to the old section of town. Carlos will meet you at the airport and help arrange tours and onward transport. The breakfast is great - a full breakfast all the coffee, drinking water you want and... More

The hotel arranged for someone to pick us up from the airport when we arrived in Quito. The owner Yolanda helped us alot. She drove us to the bus station personally and gave us good information on what bus to take to Otavalo. Her sons Cesar and Carlos were also very helpful because they spoke english and gave us good...

Hostal Tambuca has no rooms with private bathroom. The price is 32 $ which mysteriously increased to 36 $ + tax when I was going to pay. You can get a room with private bath for half that price in Quito. They offer transport to the airport for 12 $ which is the double price of a taxi with a... More

We were collected after midnight by Carlos junior, which was a great comfort at the end of a long day! The breakfasts were a great treat, provided, amazingly, whenever we straggled out - so thanks to all including Lenora, the worker. Yolanda went well-and-truly out of her way to look up information and to to give travel advice. Carlos and... More

Im still coming to grips with the raves about this hotel and so why was the experience so different for me? a fortress in the middle of Quito-cant complain about the security but sometimes having to wait to either enter or leave just isnt right-20 minutes waiting is not good enough-maybe provide keys to the door? i stayed downstairs and...

Yolanda and Caesar were such great hosts. They went way beyond what I expected. They picked us up at the airport. Yolanda drove us to the bus station. When Caesar couldn't get through on the phone to the taxi company, he ran down the street 4 blocks, hailed us a taxi and brought it back. Breakfast was really great too.... More
