This is the third time I have stayed here, on this occasion leading two tour groups. All were happy here. The house is charmingly constructed with whitewashed walls with thick timber floors, wooden beams and stairwell, and is tastefully decorated. Rooms are very clean and nicely appointed, with TV, comfortable beds, clean bedding, and decent clean bathrooms. Air conditioning in... More

This delightful and charming residence was enjoyed by my husband and I for ten days while on a Sunstreak Tours butterfly excursion with eight other participants. It is located on the west side of the river, is peaceful and relatively quiet (local dogs in the area would occasionally make their presence known). The hostel is within walking distance of good...

Our group of ten enjoyed the breakfasts and prepared take-lunches for ten days in Tena, Napo Province, in eastern Ecuador. Most rooms have air conditioning, two-bunk beds and a queen-sized bed, and bathrooms in them, and some have balconies. The linens are attractive and changed frequently. The hotel staff was exceptional and the owners, very hospitable. The neighborhood is quiet... More

We stayed one night passing through tena and were pleasantly surprised by this place - our room was quaint, good shower, excellent air con, TV. The location is nice because it's quiet but it is on the edge of town - still not far from restaurants etc though which are just a short stroll away. We thought when we booked... More

This little B&B was what I had been looking for in South America - a clean place with a lot of character that is cheap but not budget (I.e. not compromising on quality). The beds were comfy, the bathrooms clean and room had an a/c unit (critical for Tena). The place was decorated to look like a rustic cabin. Plenty... More

The property is in the heart of Tena, centrally located (a plus if you are without transportation) but it should be listed under B&B not lodges. This large house is clean and is comfortable but nothing more than average plus. There are barking dogs that can keep you up at night (if you are noise sensitive). The price of our... More

This is a really pleasant hostal with good facilities and very pleasant, helpful staff. The rooms are comfortable and large, with both air conditioning and fans. The hostal is in a quieter part of town, but with good access to the town square, river and shops/restaurants. Secure parking is also available for guests.

This was a beautiful, quiet hostal in a busy place. The woodwork was amazing. The beds were comfortable and it was very quiet. Great place in Tena

As a tour leader, since the early 1990s I have stayed in Tena on over 30 occasions. Prior to this trip I struggled to get a good night's sleep, primarily because of the noise of the town (a problem that is typical of Ecuador and most developing countries). This delightful and charming residence is located on the west side of... More

I have been living in Tena for over 2 months. I was living with a rather loud and noisy family prior to the stay at Abuelo... Clean rooms, kind owners (an older couple, eager to help me with my bags when I arrived), cable TV, internet (so they say, it hasn't been working and I've been here 3 days), ceiling... More
