    The breakfast was tasty but small. Just one bun and one spoon of scrambled eggs (!)

    Good value for money, the accommodation and the equipment are quite basic, just for an overnight stay.

    Loud Saturday nite party on the street, outside. Not hostel's responsibility.

    Good value, comfy beds. Walking distance to main stuff, free Revolut cash in pharmacy atm 4 blocks down the street. Free towel, breakfast, friendly staff.

    The one room (i stayed in two different rooms) was a bit too cold in the night. But my first one was good.

    Confy beds, close to the historic center (walking distance), staff really friendly, hot water in the shower, small breakfast included, and a really good price, plus: i could leave my big luggage there when i went to.the Amazonas

    Neighborhood not safe at night, little hot water pressure and curtains in the beds would be a great idea

    Nice hostel, 10 minutes walking to city center and many public transport around. Staff very welcoming, and traditional breakfast

    It's also sort of adorable to see the husband, wife, and toddler daughter cuddling on the couch in

    The only thing that I would recommend, maybe, is to remove the guest board in the common area. It shows all the guests' names, when they arrive and will be departing, and exactly which room and bed they are sleeping in. Might be kind of dangerous a bit particularly for female solo travelers. Apart from that, nothing else really comes to mind. It is a nice place that seems to attract some really friendly people.

    The family that owns and runs this hostel are a treasure! The breakfast is modest but still good. They are obsessive about cleaning, so the place is always perfectly spotless. It's very excellently priced, and they have a nice, large outdoor, ground-level terrace in the front with excellent rain covering even during the hardest storms. I work remotely, so I really look forward to a dedicated working area, which they have! They have a little office area in the back of the hostel with a desk, a nice background, and good lighting (for those of us that need to be on video calls).

    The whole historical center isn’t the safest at night, not the hostels fault. Smaller hostel, no English spoken, could be difficult if you don’t speak some Spanish.

    In a pretty central location. Close to markets to buy food from street vendors. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Had a hot shower and drinking water. Breakfast was simple but enough. WiFi was fine. Great for a night in Quito.

    Nothing was wrong, but pro tip: barely turn the water on for it to be warm.

    Good location, nice staff, towel included, drinking water provided, good wifi, clean facilities, warm bedding for the cooler temperature, and breakfast included at this price is amazing.

    Not for fussy travelers.

    It’s a 15minutes walk uphill from historic centre. Checked in straightforward & showed everything in… basic facilities needed for two-night b&b. Had an Ecuadorian breakfast. Alex, the kind hearted volunteer lent me his charger & woke up for my early morning departure. Very good value for backpackers needing bed & shower.

    Good very clean environment, delicious breakfasts, very quiet, comfortable, safe, really a good place to rest and meet more people who travel around the world. Excellent service. In addition, the owners are very friendly, they share meals with you and organize lunches or dinners for you. I recommend it 100%
