This is a hostel located on Los Rios near Calle Caldas. This is a very small hostel with 9 rooms which are over three floors. There isn't an elevator so keep that in mind. The room I had was a single with exactly that a single that had a shared bathroom next door to my room. The rooms are no-frills... More

We stayed here for 2 nights. Our room was big and comfortable with a nice ensuite. We loved the rooftop terrace with views of Quito. The only downside was the noise on our second night from other guests, not something the hostel can really help.

We stayed here for over a week, after we fled from The Secret Garden around the corner. The rooms are spacious and clean. You can use the kitchen on the roof terrace that looks out over the city. Staff is nice, they helped us out a lot when we were moving on. - yesmads.com

The hostel is located in a good location. Close to main streets, attractions and transportation and still manages to be relatively quiet, for a city. The hostel has a lovely rooftop terrace, where the kitchen is located and breakfast is served while you enjoy great views of the basilica and the buildings around it. The staff is friendly and almost... More

Good value hostel, clean room. Nice terrace view and seating area with TV showing American tv shows. Also given a locker to keep valuables in. However cheeky 3 dollars charge to leave your rucksacks for the day after you have checked out.

Thank you very much for your comment. Unfortunately, charging USD 3 after you do the check-out is the only way to continue serving in the best way and continue offering the use of our services. Please also remember that the luggage storage service is free until 2pm so the extra charge is after this time. Sorry!! More

The only reason this was not excellent was because of the noise from the road during the night, due to the window not being sealed correctly. Otherwise a fabulous place to stay. There was hot water, wifi and the owner is extremely friendly. The breakfast was only $2 and included a bowl of fruit (variety of types), a ecuadorian cheese... More
