We secured a reservation specifying we wanted two beds; the hostel confirmed via e-mail that we had the arrangement we requested. Upon arrival the manager said, "So sorry, big mistake. Everything is so confusing." Manager seemed not the slightest concerned about having made a commitment then cavalierly backing out. I had the impression that her way of doing business is... More

We booked a room through Hostel World and received a confirmation of our reservation from Posada del Maple. However, when we arrived, we were told that they didn't have the room we had reserved, despite the fact that we arrived exactly when we had said we would. We were given a room with one bed instead of two, which was... More

Firstly, upon arrival late in the evening, the receptionist did not have a room for us despite a booking through hostelworld.com. Rosa, the none-too-helpful receptionist, proceeded to explain is Spanish that the hostel was full and that this was not her fault but another member of staff who was not present. After showing her the printed conformation and advising that... More

I stayed here many times during a 2.5 month visit to Ecuador as a volunteer. If you volunteer with Jatun Sacha they will give you a 20% discount to stay here. I stayed in a single room which was nice. It had a private bathroom, TV with satellite, and a comfortable bed. I had also stayed in the group room... More

At Maple, our two friends and we were able to get a shared room in our price range (I believe it ended up at $16 per couple, which is very affordable.... More

We arrived here after having to leave Hostel Huauki early because of noise. We were given a really bright airy room (no.5) which had an excellent shower! The room was spacious with cable tv, although not all the rooms have access to the wifi. The only problem with the room was the bed frame was incredibly noisy, so it woke... More

We're about to check out of the Posada del Maple and have really enjoyed our stay. The hostel is on a quiet street with a plethora of other hostels. It's decor is charming with ivy growing up walls, many balconies and terraces, free wifi (that we were able to access from our room), a decent breakfast, and cozy lounge areas.... More

I've stayed at a lot of hostels and this one has the most "character." It is charming with indoor/outdoor areas, patios, vines, lots of sunlight, etc. The breakfast in the morning is very nice and the best free breakfast I've ever had while traveling. The 1 internet terminal is usually occupied (especially if there is a group of traveling students... More
