Reviews of Friendly House & Hostel 2

For the price, this is a fantastic hostel. OK beds, OK bathroom, kind of clean, nice lady running the place. Kitchen exists, it is not much and it is not cute but you can cook.

It did feel like it was super cheap and slightly sad but hey, it was cheaper than a meal. And a meal is cheap here.

The location is good, once I requested the refund for my paid second night after my not so good first night they refunded immediately.

Unfortunately my experience wasn’t great. The place is an old house rather than a hostel, it was cold inside, the bunk beds were making a lot of noise as they were metal ones, the staircase was super dangerous to climb up or down, plus very noisy as well especially during the night. The floor is terrible, every step could be heard around the whole hostel, there is no good isolation in general, whatever is happening in the shower, living room, kitchen, other rooms could be heard in the dorm room. At night it’s super annoying and even though I am not a light sleeper I could barely sleep. The door bell rings to the whole house, whoever comes back at night doesn’t have a key so needs to ring the bell, or whenever travelers who are arriving in the middle of the night expect to hear the loud ring which will for sure wake you up. Then the registration will happen and again you will hear everything. The staff didn’t even try to talk quietly in the middle of the night or in the early morning. They started preparing the breakfast at like 6am and guess what?? Expect to be awaken from the sound in the kitchen. Plus some baby was crying making it impossible to fall asleep (I guess it was the baby of the family owners). The breakfast was poor as well: bread, perhaps 1 egg omelette and coffee (no tea, no fruits, nothing more like it is on the pic). Just in general, they need to improve the facility to make it more suitable for receiving the travelers who are coming to the hostel to rest!

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

The location, the cleanliness, includes breakfast and a towel for a hot shower.

Everything was great!

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 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.

A nice place with a family atmosphere that is taken care of. The staff and volunteers are kind and helpful, there is a well-equipped kitchen and the hostel is in a quiet part of town.

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.

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.

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.

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

The family who runs the hostel is simply amazing! Friendly, always ready to help and point you in the right direction. Lovely and diversified breakfast each day.

The kindness of the staff, good value for money, delicious and varied breakfast, small and cozy
