We stayed here for 3 nights and at the end of our 3,5 month journey it is definately one of the best hostels we stayed in. Staff is really helpfull, breakfast is great but all of that does not even compare with the views. From the hostel you can take nice walks to a waterfall or to the town. We... More

My friend and I stayed at rose cottage for 3 nights. I thought the location was ideal because you are away from the city but easily accessible. It is worth it to walk down from the cottage at least once and it is very easy to get a taxi to take you back up. It was usually 2 dollars during... More

this place looks very weird in the Ecuadorian landscape, like copy paste from an English postcard... the view from this place is AMAZING, and atmosphere is super tranquil the service was kind of bad : when we asked to eat dinner at 18:00 they said ok but served it at 19:30 as usual. the price is way way too much...

Very friendly staff, we went in low season so was very quiet. You do need to know some basic Spanish to get by, the manager was lovely we ate there for breakfast lunch and dinner ad all meals were delicious! Make sure you come for Market day obviously, though there are some Market stalls still on other days apart from... More

We stayed at the rose cottage for two nights over the weekend to experience the market at Otavalo and couldn't haven chosen a better place to stay. The greatest thing about the hostel is the incredible views (and numerous hammocks to enjoy them), The hostel is situated in a beautiful spot atop a hill over-looking Otavalo, which is close enough...

We found Rose Cottage to be a perfect stop on our 3 week trip motorcycling in Colombia and Ecuador. In fact we loved it so much we stayed twice, on our way south and north on the Pan Americana. Anna and Steve were our hosts who looked after us fabulously. The cuisine was delicious and all in all the atmosphere... More

My stay at Rost Cottage is one I will remember for a long time, I thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. The hostel is located just out of town so has some of the most spectacular views I have ever seen, both of the surrounding volcanoes and the town below. Being out of the town centre it was quiet enough to... More

This weekend I stayed in rose cottage with my cousin, we received warm welcome from the hosts Rosa & Mark. Staying in this place made me feel confortable. During our visit, we have spent sometime on the market of Otavalo, it's really fantastic. But the most precious memory lied in my mind is the time we spent here. It worths... More

I am torn about how to rate my review because the location of this hotel has stunning views, however our experience was average, in part because I wanted the best of both worlds- gorgeous views but with easy access to experiencing the culture (we were living in Ecuador at the time and had a friend visiting that we wanted to...
