The service and little details are what really set this hostel a step ahead. The attendant on duty, Milton, was great. After providing a tour of the amenities you are provided with map with hand written details pointing out all you need to know (restaurant, ATM, market, bus terminal locations, and travel time to common destinations like Cotacachi). From the... More

When we arrived without reservation, we were instantly greeted by Roberto, the friendly host. He instantly asked if we wanted a drink and sent a help to get us a bottle of fizzy. The rooms were amazing, with a nice outside seating area in front of the room, while the kitchen looked clean and open. They also have a Bender... More

The hotel employee was super helpful in orienting us to sites in and around town and he gave us a personalized map with directions! The hotel is a few blocks from the main strip, maybe wouldn't want to walk it alone at night but fine with another person. It was close enough for us to get to all the sites easily.... More

Hostal Chasqui is a bit up a hill, but you get the reward with a great view from the roof. Me and my boyfriend stayed in a double room with private bathroom. The room was clean, but it was very cold. Luckily we had lots of blankets. There was no toilet paper or soap in the bathroom, but for a... More

I checked in to Chasqui with no trouble and landed in my first private room after 6 weeks of traveling! and i paid the same price that id paid for a bed in an 8-bed dorm room in most of South America. The hostel is clean and close to the market. Wifi works good and the kitchen on the roof... More

Based on all the good reviews that Hostal Chasqui received, we booked for 2 nights. After staying for 1 night we left. The room we got was really smelly and the bed sheets were not clean at all. I guess the sheets have not been changed for a long time. Same with the towels. Anyway, the personal, there was only... More

When you are greeted in the lobby by a life-sized Bender, you know you can't go wrong. Clean single private rooms with hot water bathrooms and tv/dvd player for only $10... an excellent, cheap way to escape from dorm hell. The owner and staff were extremely helpful with the layout of the hostel as well as tips on things to... More

Yep, in all of South America this was the only place that offered free laundry. Needless to say we all did our laundry twice in the two days we were there! And Robert and Milton are the sweetest Ecuadorians you will ever meet. They go into detail when describing and they can speak really good English. The rooms are cosy,... More

We loved this hostel. The owner is super friendly, the guy who cleans is very friendly too, the rooms are comfortable and big, there's hot water, a big kitchen and a tv and dvd player in your room with tons of movies. And.... free laundry!!! It's not that far away from the center and it's not in t where you... More
