“Worst staff”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 March 2011

people found this review helpful

I was staying there for 2 nights with a friend. One of the male staff there was beyond rude and not very pleasant. He works there around noon and he's usually the one that opens the door late at night. He also cleans the rooms and etc. One night we came back to the hostal around 12:30 pm and he was so upset that we woke him up from his mattress, it's usually right by the desk in the reception area. First of all thats his job and another thing was he came nocking at our rooms at 11:10am when check out is at 12:00 noon. He wanted to lean the room, because he had more reservations. My friend room had a huge hole on the ceiling and this prticlar man got upset too, because my friend ask him for a piece of carton to put up. I will definately NOT recommend this hostel to no one. Oh! but they sure want their payment right away when you check in -in full.(CASH). 4 thumps down!!!

“Good, but too expensive”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2011

The property is in a very good location. The rooms are good, just no insulation so you hear everything. The breakfast is quite poor. Just a roll, coffee and watered down juice. The staff does not speak English so are not too helpful.

“Just another nice hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2010

There is almost nothing special about this hotel, except for the best bed we had in Ecuador. It's just a very nice place to stay, on a good location. Might be a bit overpriced.
There is free internet (no wifi) available, incluing the use of a printer.

“Watch out for them floor boards...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2010

Booked on hostelbookers for 2 nights in a twin room. On arrival they couldn't find our booking and the room we had booked was no longer available. They gave us a family room with a king bed and 2 singles which was massive and on the ground floor. Room had cable tv and bathroom with hot water. All okay until the guests in the room above us got home. We could hear every move they made and every word they spoke. We were woking up many times in the night by them moving around on both the first and second nights. Make sure you get a room on the top floor to avoid horrible nights sleep. The breakfast area is great, but was a little strange we were given eggs on first day but were refused eggs on the second day, even though it was included in the price. For US$15pp it was a little overpriced, better value ones out there.

“Good value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2010

person found this review helpful

Well, this is not Europe! So it would just be unfair expecting high standards.

The hostal was quiet, cheap and it's not far from the city center.

Helpful staff. Bads: Internet did not work in my room. Cleanliness could have been better.

But all in all: nothing to worry about and considering the fair pricing: Good value.
