I reserved a room at Hostal Alcala more than a month in advance, and confirmed a week beforehand, but when I arrived at the hotel around midnight (I told them I was going to arrive late) after a long bus ride, there was no room for me. I had to go to several other nearby hotels, all of which were full, before settling for a shared room.

Very near to the new town center. Friendly staff but they don't speak english. They have kitchen for tourists' use. Price $25/night (couple). A lot of various channels on TV.

My husband and I stayed in Quito Ecuador for the first time this month. We chose this hotel for its price and location. We found it to be in a good location, within walking distance of many restaurants and bars!It's a big plus to be able to walk to a place to eat instead of getting a taxi just to be able to go out to eat. However, it was also easy to catch a taxi by walking 1/2 block up the street. The owners were very friendly and allowed us to stow our extra bags with them when we went on two separate trips within Ecuador. This was SO very helpful as we did not want to drag our extra luggage with us during that time. It was also great to have a place where breakfast was included, as this was very handy.

The rooms were cheerful and clean.

I would stay here again.

Good, budget hotel in Quito. Spent $20 for a single that was a large room with a double and twin beds and a private bathroom. In the Mariscal area so the music in the neighborhood was quite loud on Saturday night but I slept with earplugs and was fine. Breakfast was decent, eggs, fruit, and toast. Staff was very friendly and very helpful. If you are looking for no frills, this is it. Also has fantastic wifi.
