    Nothing. It was really good.

    They gave detailed and accurate check in instructions, which made it easy to get in when I arrived after 1 AM (because my flight got in very late). The price was amazing ($10/night for a shared room), my bunk was very comfortable, roomy and private with a curtain, shelf, outlet etc inside. The place was clean and pleasant to hang out in, with indoor and outdoor common spaces, and it came with breakfast!

    Noisy on a Friday night
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Noisy - I am a light sleeper and the streets behind the property have bars and nightclubs. I have stayed here before without issue but this time, Friday night, I could hear bass from nearby between 1.30 and 4am. Earplugs don’t help with that because of the low frequency, similar for trying white noise. So woke up tired. Could be a one off and rooms that don’t have an exterior window would not be impacted as much Hard pillow

    Super clean Breakfast included Helpful and thoughtful staff Central location

    The area is not the nicest but honestly I think most of the tourist areas in Quito are not that nice.

    I tried three different hostels in Quito. This one is the cleanest and nicest. The kitchen is very nice, well equipped and clean. The dorms are spacious with only four beds and privacy curtains. It was quiet when I was there but other guests were friendly. Lots of common areas to hang out in.

    The windows in the twin room were very thin and rattled everytime somebody drove past, keeping us awake.

    Great hostel, great staff who helped get us up and running for our first night in the country. Comfy room and good bathrooms. Terrace looked really nice unfortunately didnt get to use it due to weather. Breakfast is basic, just bread, butter, jam and bananas, but it was enough to start our day.

    Really relaxing atmosphere with various terraces and nice decor. Nice rooms with comfy beds and decent size lockers. Great value for money as it includes breakfast too. The nearby area had plenty of varied restaurant options too. The staff were also really welcoming and helpful E.g there was an issue with hot water in the shared bathroom so they opened up a private bathroom for me to use. Laundry service also had a quick turnaround.

    Wifi could be better

    Great hostel with amazing bunk beds. So comfortable and completely private. They have big lockers that fit your whole backpack. The hostel is extremely clean and has a great kitchen to cook and a sorted fridge to store the food. Breakfast is simple but good. It’s not a party place at all, even though there are many bars in the neighbourhood. I enjoyed that it’s calm and relaxed. It’s a short bus or taxi ride from the historic Center but the neighbourhood feels safer than the historic Center. You’ll have small shops and lots of restaurants right next to the hostel.

    My favorite Hostel after 2 months of travels
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 3 nights
    • Submitted via mobile

    Nothing really, maybe just that the laundry service is a bit expensive (but very practical).

    I think this is my favorite hostel after two months of travel in Colombia and Ecuador! The facilities are great: there are three different terraces plus a TV/lounge room and a kitchen/dining room. When I was there it was more of a quiet vibe (not really a party hostel) but it was still easy to meet people and share a meal together. There are plenty of toilets and showers, so you don’t have to wait. Both the kitchen and toilets/showers were kept super clean (I usually hate using kitchens in hostels ;)) The dorms are great too: there are spacious and don’t feel crowded at all. There are large lockers that fit big backpacks + extra storage for clothes, shelves and hooks. Each bed has a curtain, two plugs, a light, a shelf… all small things but that really makes a difference to the dorm experience as you get a lot of privacy & comfort. The breakfast is simple but all you need (toast, butter, marmelade, fruits, cereals and coffee). Everyone was very helpful. They can also arrange day tours or longer tours (eg to the Amazon) although I personally didn’t use this service. I extended my stay by one night and wish I could have stayed even longer!

    Not really a complaint as I like a quiet hostel, but there's no bar or anything and not much happening in the evenings.

    This is a small quiet hostel. The dorm beds are excellent - comfy, a curtain for relative privacy, and a shelf and power sockets. They provide large lockers for bags. The hostel is quite far from the historical centre but there are lots of restaurants and supermarkets around. The hostel has a kitchen.
