“I did not like it”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2011

The hostel is ok (although it's better not to walk around at night).
I did not have a good time there - I felt like my money was welcome but not me.

They serve breakfast on the terrace for 2$ (1 croissant, scrambled eggs, fruit juice and tea/coffee). WiFi is available but very very slow from the room.

There are other options in the historical center (cheaper and better in my opinion).

I see you have be changing your comment, that’s weird because you had a total different opinion one week ago so this suggests that your comments are not credible Quito is big city is not a small town anymore and become dangerous and is not only San Blas neighborhood is anywhere in the city but even in the area where you stay after is worse because that neighborhood is considered red zone (the most dangerous zone), this is government responsibility so this point is not objective, you should claim this to the Ecuadorian Government.
Ecuador is an expensive country and $2.00 here is nothing for a breakfast you received and we do not force you to buy it in here you free to buy breakfast any where you like, as you though breakfast is expensive other guest like it very much and not complain may be because they already know than Ecuador is not that cheap, so this is not relevant.
WIFI (in the time you stay in here I told you at the check in there was some other people downloading pictures and movies and the connection get pretty slow).
Yes, there is other fine options at the historic center and you are free to stay anywhere you like no one force you to come here, we clear explained, prices, where we are located, what we offer, what rooms looks like we don’t hide anything to customers we like to be transparent, also is not relevant to compare us to the place you stay after you left Chicago Hostel because that place rent rooms for hours (lovers couples) and of course this place are much more cheaper than us because they don’t care about cleanse and they don’t pay taxes as we do.

The owners of this place are VERY helpful and friendly and will give you lots of information. I loved the view from the roof top terrace! Rooms have good rate and have WIFI, only the WIFI connection is terrible in room and terrace.

“Great Place to Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2011

I stayed here for a week after filming a documentary in the Amazon. The staff were amazing and when I left, felt like I was leaving family. The price was extremely affordable and if I had friends going to Quito, I would highly recommend it!

“Good location, value and service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2011

I stayed for four nights. My room was on second floor of the main building. The staff service was allways great. The WiFi was free and strong. There was allways hot water (you have to run it for 2 mins). My room could get quite noisy from the hallway. The $2.00 breakfast is well worth it. This is a good hostel with good value.
P.S.: Watch out for the Quito taxis. They will overcharge you for sure.......
