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.

We stayed at this budget hostal at the beginning and end of our trip to the Galapagos Islands. We arrived at around 10 pm by taxi ($6 from the airport if you pay for a voucher at the transport info counter as you leave customs). The hostel is not signed at street level and we were told by the taxi driver that we should ring the bell next to a large iron grill door but as soon as we approached the door the reception man hit the remote from his desk up a few stairs to let us in. He spoke good english and was very friendly and helpful. We got our key and carried our cases up the stairs to room 38. The room was fairly spacious but mostly filled by 3 single beds. It was very clean but spartan with a en-suite that had a great shower. The beds were fine and the blankets adequate. Breakfast was included and consisted of bread rolls, jam, juice and tea or coffee which was all we needed. One problem was that we arrived having had no dinner and with no food or water and had been cautioned about walking around Quito at night. Reception had water for sale and luckily we found some biscuits in out luggage. Next day we found the surrounding area to be fine and quite convenient though we used taxis to get around as they were cheap.
