Reviews of Hostal La Guayunga RoofTop

Friendly staff, convenient location for bus to cuyabeno

For the price, the facilities are of a lower standard than other places we stayed in quito

Nice beds in spacy rooms, showers and toilets weren't spotless but neither outrageous. The rooftop terrace is super nice, but sound carries a bit to the rooms. All the staff I met were absolute sweethearts though! 10/10 for them!

good location as we were travelling to the Amazon, bus picks up right outside. Big room with plenty of space.

Door didn't lock externally so we had to keep our valuables in lockers downstairs where we also had to provide our own locks. Our room was directly under the rooftop area which has constant loud music playing.

Location (in the daytime…not good at night but that goes for all of Quito-keep your wits about you when moving around in the evenings/grab an Uber and you’ll be fine). Every staff member we encountered was super friendly and helpful. Rooftop was a great space (albeit no one was using it so not much of a vibe) with fair prices. You can tell the hostel are trying to create a fun and social space…it’s just not hitting the mark on some basics which other hostels are and at the same price. Showers were hot! Murals throughout the building were beautifully done.

The 2 surfaces in the room were dusty. bedding was barely big enough for the bed and had holes in. Mattress and pillows both thin so bed was really uncomfortable. Bedside lamp didn’t work and no shade on the main bedroom light so either darkness or intense brightness. The windows were filthy and didn’t shut properly so when there was a birthday party on the rooftop one night playing loud music until midnight, it was impossible to sleep and after a long day of travelling this was really frustrating. Hand dryer in the shared bathroom didn’t work. Room smelled of smoke. Generally, even though it’s cheap, it’s not up to the standard of other hostels at the same price or less (even on the same road). It could be great but needs some basic cleaning and maintenance on the rooms.

The rooftop restaurant was definitely the highlight for me! It was such a lovely view and the empanadas were delicious. The staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating :) An on-site tour company gives you good, fair prices for the highlights (Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, Otavalo, etc.) The rooms were clean and fairly spacious. They offer storage lockers outside the rooms but you must provide your own locks. Bathrooms are on par with South American hostel standards. Centrally located as well.

There was no elevator which I didn't mind but to inform others who might. There was also no key to your dorm so it was always open unless you locked it at night when everyone was back. I think this is standard across South America but not in Europe. Other than these minor standard things, it was great!

If you travel to Amazonia this place is very good where to wait to bus or where to stay after your return for the rest of the night. Nice view from restaurant.

The rooftop restaurant has amazing views, and the welcome drink was fenomenal. The vegetarian/vegan burrito was delicious. We could store our luggage at the reception, because to locks of the room were sketchy.

The common bathroom cleanlines was so so. There were people smoking in the bathroom and local children watching videos infront of the rooms.

The staff was very helpful but...

....but the rooms were cold and dark.... there was no airconditioner and the bed was not comfortable. Our room looked like abandoned hospital room from pre-war time.

Localization is great. Luggage storage was safe.

Bathrooms need renovation. It was no rooftop bar-renovation-no information before arriving. At morning was really loud - crying babies, barking dogs and some renovation voices. Sheets had many stains.

Friendly staff, great rooftop bar. Would recommend people stay somewhere else and just visit the bar

Awful room with no window covering to the abandoned building next door which had large openings towards the window. Disgusting bathroom. Unclean. Sheets stitched back together that didn’t stay on the falling apart mattress. Street outside was unable to be used by vehicles which meant I had to walk to a different street at 430 in the morning to get an Uber to the airport. Felt very unsafe.

Location Nice rooftop Service of transportation to mitad del mundo

Beds are not very comfortable Bathrooms are not clean
