Most rooms are triples, be sure to press hard if you want a double. These will only be rooms 24, 25, 34, 35, 44 & 45. The rooms are basic, but have power, hot showers with great pressure and cold basin taps. The rooms are generally clean (don't look under the bed) and you get fresh towels daily. The location is central, with lots of travel agencies across the road and all the restaurants and bars you could hope for within <100m from the door. The hotel is secure and you have to knock to gain entrance. Some of the guide books warn this area is prone to muggings. We stayed here twice now and saw the odd shaddy character, but nothing you wouldn't see in any town. Just don't war you phone, camera or wallet around and you'll be fine. Check out the Magic Bean coffee shop a couple of roads back. Free WIFI and the best cheesecake ever.

we loved it here ;not once did we feel out of place.close to nite life #shopping .all around it was a good spot to get to know quito.the best was the wonderful hospitality.every one in the hotel was great . miss breakfast; it was something to look forward too.

We were looking for a nice hostal but economical and situated in a good location and we found it. The hostal is small, but the location is ideal for a tourist. The rooms are clean, there is hot water. For us it was a nice place and very economically. The staff is very friendly. Next time in Quito we would stay in the same place.

Stayed here 2 nights before flying out for my Galapagos cruise, I didn't choose the hotel, it's where the Galapagos tour company put us up. The hotel is a bit inconspicuous from the street. Inside, the guys at the front desk are friendly and helpful. Ask them where you might go to buy something or where to eat and they're there to lend a hand.

The hotel is really conveniently located on Ave Rio Amazonas and only 2 blocks from the main cafe area. There's heaps of convenience stores and stuff nearby.

The rooms are pretty basic, but they have a bed and a bathroom (just a shower, no bath), and that's all you really need. The beds weren't the most comfortable though. The tv didn't have much choice of channels, nothing in English.

We had an early flight to the Galapagos on our last morning and trying to get them to organise an early breakfast for us was a major hassle.

Probably wouldn't stay here again in the future. The location is great, but I'd probably pick a hotel that was a little more upmarket in the future.
