Stayed here on two occasions. The 2nd time was in a twin room with a shared bath on the 3rd floor. Very basic, but adequate, and the bed was soft at least. My only complaint, given the price, was the grandfather clock or whatever it was starting up at 0600 and going off incessantly and regularly - guess they want... More

Located at a beautiful square, San blas is a cosy hostel only 400m away from Quito's old town. San blas square is also about 6min or 3$ taxi drive to the buzz of La Meriscal The hostel offers en suite double and twin rooms, which are decently clean with basic bathroom facilities with hot water. There is even a small... More

Hostal San Blas, run by the owner, gives a very personal and warm and very clean environment, the prices (single or shared) can’t be compare with any other from $10 to $15 with private bathroom. “Don Angel” and his family goes the extra miles for their guest….A very big GRACIAS for their hospitality..:))

I stayed in Hostal San Blas for 5 nights. I had my own private room with ensuite for a mere $15 a night. Bargain. The rooms are small, but adequate (and can be noisy- bring earplugs) and the location is pretty good. On the down side, there is no kitchen, the rooms do not get any natural light (no external...

This hostel is in a great location in Quito Old Town, and is very close to many of the transport routes, making it easy to catch a bus anywhere around Quito. The rooms are good value, and clean. The hostel has free wifi, luggage storage and tea and coffee. The owners are very friendly and helpful, and give some good... More

Very clean and unique looking rooms with private bathrooms and hot water. The location is excellent and beautiful just next to Plaza San Blas. It is very easy to get a taxi to/from the hostel and main bus lines are just 2 minutes walk away. Staff was friend and always willing to help. Some of them speak only little English.... More

I have been to Quito several times. I love the city. However, the prices can be exorbitant. Sometimes I have paid quite an expensive price for a very basic & even dirty room. Hostal San Blas is a hidden little gem. The price is so low when compared to other b&bs in the area that we thought there had to... More

My husband and I only ended up staying here for 1 night as we found somewhere bigger and half the price just round the corner. For Hostal San Blas we payed 16us for a double with a private bathroom. A double with a shared bathroom was 14us per night. The room was small but cozy. The bathroom was too small... More

Stayed here a few times in Feb/Mar 2011. Very good deal for the solo budget traveler who doesn't want to stay in a dormitory. Rooms are small and cozy, but clean with a wardrobe, table and chair, TV, and comfortable bed with warm blankets. No outer windows (probably a good thing given crime in Quito) but windows open into interior... More
