5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW via mobile

This is a comfortable place in between new and old town. We stayed 5 nights and had no complaints. The owner is very nice and had a lot of great suggestions (basic Spanish helpful here). He also took us to the airport for the same price a taxi charges, but much safer and nicer. Breakfast is good, coffee is excellent.

We stayed here several times during our journey in Ecuador. (since Quito is the central place of which all busses leave to other cities/places in Ecuador). The location is perfect in between old en new town. The price of 15usd for a clean and comfortable double room (shared bathroom, also clean) is great value. Owner is friendly and helpfull. You...

My husband and I walked in to this hostel and booked it immediately. We got a room at the roof top which had a great view of Quito, couple tables and hammocks. Our room was small and cozy, we had private bathroom and TV. I think its a great value for $18 a day! The best thing about this hostel... More

I stayed here for several weeks upon arrival and before I returned to the states. The owner Estuard is very nice and helpful although he doesnt speak much English. Very tight security and fantastic views from the rooftop. It's noisy the same as anywhere in Quito. There's also a nice Chinese food place open late right down the street, a... More

A very good price for a hostel in a capital city: we paid 18 USD for our double room. Even if our bed seemed to be very old and was not very comfortable, we liked the place. Located close to Parque Alameda with it's Trolley-Station it's between Quito's old city and the new Mariscal quarter. The owner gave us a... More

As some of the other reviews have written here the welcome is not exceptionally friendly but i should say that neither is it rude. The staff do not speak English at all which may explain some of this. After staying a couple of days the staff did warm up and would give us a smile at least when we said... More

Having looked through the other reviews on here and Travellerspoint it seems our stay may well have been the exception rather than the rule but this is definitely not somewhere I would stay again. The main member of staff who seemed to be running the place was very helpful and efficient but was let down by one of the male... More

I stayed here about two weeks and it was a nice place, it is family run and the owners try very hard to keep this place in a clean and safe order. Water was always hot and the Hostel is centrally located in Quito. Right outside the front door across the street is an internet location and a phone service... More
