I don't even know where to begin. The owners: sweet, solicitousness, helpful in all ways. Maria was like a mother away from home. They were helpful with activities, maps, and generally making sure my time in Quito and Ecuador were wonderful. The location is perfect, excellent proximity to a huge market with an excellent selection of comedores for breakfast, juices,... More

After working in Ambato I returned to Quito to catch my flight home. I was looking for a nice hostel close to the old town and found La Guayunga in the Lonely Planet. I booked two nights in a single room on the ground floor. I was afraid that it would get noisy in the morning, but it did not.... More

We were a family of four and lucked upon this hostel. Run by a friendly, helpful family, they really made us feel welcome. A nice rooftop terrace and communal kitchen, decent wi-fi, free computers and amazing breakfast, cheap. Our travels took us in and out of Quito five times and we kept returning to this fine place. A close walk... More

Big, comfortable room, boling hot shower, & the best breakfast we had in South America! Its in a good location between old & new town, & they also offer... More

We were very impressed by the hostel, we were given... More

We left our luggage here while we travelled to the Galapagos, since we reserved a room for when we returned. A week later, we returned at 9pm, only to be told that the owner had given away our room to 3 current guests who missed their flight in the morning- despite our reservation, and confirmation. When we asked if they... More

I enjoyed my 4 day stay here. The hostel is very close to everything in the centro historico. The family was very helpful with information and I also went on one of their tours to the Mitad del mundo. The Mattresses are brand new and comfortable which was nice after exploring the city all day. They have an awesome view... More
