the wifi was really bad, no connection in rooms or away from reception, I burned through a stack of data.

Comfy and clean dorm, and the kitchen was clean too, first time I have experienced this with Selina! Friendly team that work there

there is a club opposite and it was so loud until 2/3am we stayed Wednesday to Sunday and it was every night. our room faced the street so it was a big problem for us I would suggest requesting a back facing room. We booked a straight nights but the staff found it difficult to arrange this and kept asking us to come back and pay every time we did (3 times) they said they couldn’t take the money as it wasn’t finalised, it was very frustrating as we kept trying to pay then when we did we waited 30 mins for them doing the computer side of things. checked out the next day and they said we hadn’t paid….it’s not malicious or deliberate just not good organisers/communicators.

so much to do as they have activities and their own cafe which was great to not have to look for a coffee shop each morning.

It’s about a 10/15 min Uber into the Old Town.

Basic room with comfy bed and bedding. Shared bathroom was clean and the shower good with hot water and the towels were large. Breakfast was good with a few options offered. Travel company within the hostel which we used and would recommend. There were social activities but I wouldn’t necessarily say it was a social social hostel. Room was quiet and having a lift was useful for luggage. Staff friendly on reception. Supermarket and ATMs nearby.

The breakfast was extremely overpriced and ridiculously small

The place is beautiful, the room was spacious and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Breakfast was supposed to start at 7:30 but started closer to 8 since chef wasn’t there. My granola and yogurt bowl was fine but not great. The juice was very sweet which after a week of great natural sugarless juice in Ecuador caught me off guard but is probably closer to a “standard” juice flavor in the USA. Coffee was ok which considering how good it is elsewhere in Ecuador was surprising. The cookie with breakfast I bought tasted like it had been sitting there a few days. Basically the only negative was an underwhelming breakfast.

Room and bathroom were great. Very central location near a lot of nightlife and easy access to everything else. Selina facilities were also really nice overall. AC kept room at a good temperature. They allowed me to store my luggage after my stay for an additional 12+ hours before my flight for free. Staff were helpful when I had questions and were patient with me and my limited Spanish.

Little far from the old town but the area is good with many nice bars and things

The staff are the best! Always friendly and helpful and organising events. The breakfast and food there in general is great!

Very friendly staff, spacious and clean facilities with blazing fast wifi everywhere. Storage rooms, nice open spaces in the front and a bar, cafe and restaurant. Good deal if you get a dorm for yourself.

The room was a little dirty. Bedding had a stain on it and the bathroom smelled like rotten eggs. When we showered, water spread all over the bathroom floor, and the water didn't very hot. For the price, we were fine with these things but figured other travelers might want to know. Also, the additional price for breakfast is a little steep and you might be able to find cheaper and better breakfast options in the neighborhood if you venture out. Just FYI.

Bed was comfortable and common spaces were very well designed. The staff was very kind and helpful when we had as light issue with our booking. We found it very easy to get to La Foch/Parque El Ejido and other attractions without being in too hectic of a spot so it was the perfect balance. The app made check in very easy and they have lots of activities offered, though we didn't do any of them. Very good spot for a night in Quito between two big travel days.

Super helpful staff as always in Selina.always good value for money!

The towels were super hard and well-worn. They also slightly smell like gasoline, which was odd. The room had a slight “hostel” smell but it wasn’t too bad.

I loved the staff, common areas, and location. I booked a small room which was just perfect for one person and had a small window. The shared bathrooms were super clean and always available. Breakfast was really good.

The hostal was quite cold, however, they did provide heaters for the rooms.

Kelly, who works at the from desk is amazing! She helped me to coordinate getting my laundry done, provided me with recommendations around the city and always accommodated any request I had. Plus she always remembered my name :) She is amazing at her job! Breakfast is really nice here. They have several options and Juice and very well done coffee are also included in the breakfast. Also, there were lots of activities planned at night by the onsite coordinator James, who did a great job at hosting evets. NOTE FOR DIGITIAL NOMADS: Internet worked PERFECTLY for zoom calls all throughout the hostal. If you need even stronger internet, which isn't that necessary since it is already so good, they have a co-working space.

I tried to get in touch with the staff and they were not responsive. My friend had issues with payment and they were also not responsive regarding figuring out the issue with her

It didn't have the usual Selina vibe that were used to. None of the advertised activities happened, the neighborhood wasn't great (unless all you want is bars and expensive restaurants), the tours offered were more expensive and not as good as other companies. Shower was cold. They didn't sell water and didn't have much of a jug refill for water bottles - in a country where you can't drink tap water. Clean but stained sheets. The room was loud at night. The bar area was always empty. The 7am breakfast was very late, even when tours start at 730.

The staff and decor were nice, as per all the Selina hostels.

It's located in the party zone of the city. For some tourists can be better to live right in the centre.

There are all the things that a good hostel should have: curtains, lockers, personal sockets, and good Wi-Fi. There's a free coworking with free coffee, zones for playing and hanging out, good kitchen. Everything is quite new and clean.

Noise -couldn't sleep. This was due to 1) thin windows so all noise from the busy street flooded in 2) Reception staff playing loud music at all hours -I came down to catch a plane at about 5.30am and the reception music was at VERY loud club levels (all this came through the windows a few floors up)! Shame as the hostel is great facility wise, very impressive, but not being able to sleep well for the days I was there contributed to me getting very ill and having to cancel the rest of my trip. The actual hostel guests were quiet and respectful. The other thing that wasn't great was a weird smell in the rooms from the cleaning products. (& the waitress in the restaurant was a bit scary and unfriendly)! The other staff were all nice but obviously the loud music was inconsiderate.

Great facilities, cinema, kitchen, restaurant, work area, etc, also clean. Helpful travel agency downstairs run by a lovely lady, Catalina, who goes above and beyond to help you. Good menu in restaurant downstairs. Hostel guests were quiet.
