I can't think why this place gets such rave reviews. It's freezing cold, my room is TINY, the bed narrow and hard, and the water is tepid at best. Breakfast is very poor (the markets are full of wonderful tropical fruits), and everywhere you want to go a taxi has to be called as its not safe to walk. Yes,... More

We stayed for two nights, one before our Galapagos trip and one after. This hotel was very good value, nice inside and and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. It is not close to the airport, so if you are in and our of Quito like we were I would not stay here. Not sure about the surrounding area, all... More

We stayed at this well located hostel for several nights. The staff (especially Gloria & Carlos) were friendly & helpful. The rooms were clean & cosy - the garden rooms were quieter than on the street. Good value-would recommend! More

We really enjoyed being centrally located and within walking distance to many of the attractions. Gloria was the most helpful and provided us with so much advice when she was around. However, during the times... More

If the traveler looking for something quiet, nothing fancy but very typical of this country, this is the place I... More

The rooms in the Main building are best, #2 has a nice patio. As others have mentioned, Gloria and the rest of the staff go out of... More

We stayed here for 2 nights between visiting the Amazon and travelling to the Galapagos. The welcome was very nice and the people were friendly. It was nice and clean and the pet bunny was very cute. The room we had was very small and actually quite cold with no working heaters etc. to warm it up. When you consider... More
