Just did the Quilotoa Loop and spend 2 nights in Chugchilan. Place was cosy and Don Hanibal a very friendly owner, feels like my grandpa. They helps us with a hiking description to Isinlivi and we had a wonderful time talking to other travellers during dinner. More

The hostal is quite good in many respects: a decent room (considering we are in the remote countryside), but rather uncared-for bathroom, and the price includes breakfast and dinner, which were both just about acceptable. The staff are friendly and helpful. There's free Wifi in the lounge. My dissatisfaction comes from the extra services: they provided me with a guide... More

Comfortable and clean! Breakfast and dinner were included in the very reasonable price...excellent food, some of the best meals I had in Ecuador! Very accommodating staff. Rides can be arranged back to Quito from here...a real treat after nearly going off a cliff on the local bus! Whew! More

This hostal is a bit more pricier than the other one(s) in Chugchillan, but it is worth it! The rooms are big and have very nice beds. They were a bit cold, but the staff was as kind to lit the stove what made it cozy and warm. The comunal area / bar is great and make sure to go... More

My 73-year old mother and I stayed here for four fantastic nights. We were well taken care of from the minute we were picked up at our hotel in Quito to our drop off in Latacunga. You can arrange for transportation as we did or take the bus in and out. I would recommend staying here at least two nights... More

Room with bath 21$/person Room without bath 17$/ person Dinner and breakfast incl. Family-run Hostal run by notorious Mama Hilda herself. The service was very good, the food even better. But if you eat too slow your plate will dussliger under the Hands of the overeager daughters of Hilda. The rooms are very clean and in good shape. There is... More

It looks nice on the outside but it is freezing at night and the rooms have no heating. Heat by lighting stoves in the common areas was intermittant at best. The water in the shower was rarely any hotter than a notch above cold and there was no hairdryer or even a mirror in the bathroom. Lighting was also inadequate... More

My wife and I and another couple (all 70 or above) stayed here for three nights. Very remote in a beautiful area. We highly recommend. Breakfast and dinner and a very comfortable room. The people, including Mama Hilda, were all very hospitable. Highly recommend the hike from Ilsinivi (Llulu Llama) to Chugchilan (several miles, about 1,900 ft ascent...at 10,000 feet... More

We stayed in the most expensive rooms (el Rinconcito) because we knew it would be cold at this altitude in the afternoons and evenings so wanted a chiminea. The first night, despite repeated requests from guests, the fire in the main lounge was not lit until after dinner. Our chiminea was only lit after we had gone to bed fully... More
