Everything but especially the staff

Go to the rooms at the third floor, they are much better, the bathroom is shared but the rooms are better and with a great view over historical Quito.

Booking.com has all kinds of misinformation posted about this place. After I booked a large double twin room Booking pulled the old bait & switch & offered me a smaller room but w/a "city view" (for an extra fee) that apparently wasn't available when I made the reservation. So, we had the privilege of paying extra for a small, interior room with a smaller bed. Booking also claims that the rooms have "free cable" but cable is only available in the common room. It's a nice common room, though. Plus it's a hostel so why does Booking even feel the need to show that as a room amenity? There was an open grill/vent in our bathroom, that led up to the open roof, so the bathroom was very cold. Unfortunately, since the water doesn't get much past warm, it was even more uncomfortable. The building wide smoke alarm went off & woke us up in the middle of the night, both nights. 1x the first night and 3xs the 2nd night. Then we were awake for several hours, afterwards, both nights. Not a great combination with altitude sickness. Lol!

My husband & I decided to spend my birthday here, so we could see some of Quito as a stopover on our way to visit family in the US. It's very clean and secure. The family who owns it is helpful and nice. They have that extra level of security because they personally answer the door, in person. The value of the breakfast is good: Large delicious roll, plain but tasty omelet, coffee and some blanco queso. The 1st day we received fresh whole juice, too. Not only do they provide all linens, the bed has a really thick blanket in addition to the sheets and cover. So, we were nice & toasty. Plus the bed was nice & firm.The bath towel was large and fluffy, too. I also loved the beautiful, older wood floors. The owners also went out of their way to help us w/a few phone calls w/our driver & an uber eats deliverer. They also gave us a map & went over several places on it so we knew where we were going.

The kitchen is extremely small. And there are some very odd smells coming from the drains.

It was very secure, and the people here were amazing. The location for me could not have been better.

Could have been cleaned a little better but this wasn’t a problem

Great place, got a free upgrade on my room. Staff were really nice and helpful. Friendly atmosphere and has a kitchen if you want to cook some food. Locations is right smack in the centre of Quito, can’t get any closer

Guests should note that not all bedrooms have an external window. I had read in advance that the rooms were not very sound-proof due to the materials used for constructing dividing walls, so I brought ear-plugs and therefore this was no problem for me.

Incredible value for money. Comfortable, clean rooms and friendly, helpful staff. Excellent location in the heart of the historical centre, so it is easy to walk to the main sights. There is a common area for eating or socialising, and guests have access to a small kitchen, fridge, microwave etc.

The water didn't come on in the shower or sink but after I mentioned this it was sorted (I should have told the great staff earlier). I wish the entry into the bathroom was an arch! The walls are very thin and any conversation next door intrudes - ear plugs and headphones a must.

For the price you can't beat this place, amazing, and any criticisms should bear this in mind. Everything is great, the place even has ESPN/Star sport showing EPL and 6 Nations rugby. My room was really quiet, no traffic just the charming ringing of church bells. Wifi was great (eventually!)

Shared kitchen is very small, having more than 1 person makes things very difficult. The rooms facing the street are very noisy, definitely need earplugs. The main door is always locked and has to be opened by staff when you go in and out. They are fast about it but gets annoying after the first day.

Great location near all the tourist hotspots. Room was clean overall and the beds were relatively comfortable. Staff was nice and helpful.

The staff and the location are excellent, it is a family run hotel, the boys are so hard working and helpful, always with the smile on their faces, like their mum and dad, always giving us good recommendations and explanations.The friendliest travellers happened to be here too 😊

The floor is terrible

The door can be locked by the guest

While definitely cleaned some of the sheets has some not so good looking stains 😅

Pretty much everything was nice and the shared bathrooms were cleaned frequently 👍 location was great, small kitchen was available and the stay was overall a very good deal. Also it felt very safe with 24h locked front door that could only be opened by staff.

No external windows to my room .although I only paid $6 a night

The location is brilliant right in the centre of the old town..couldn’t fault it for the price to be honest.

The rooms are old fashioned and it takes a while until you get hot water. The water pressure is too low. We booked several nights there and one stay we had a room facing to the street and it was loud as hell. But the other night we had a room to the inner side and the noice was ok. But still it’s not the most silent hotel.

The location is good. It’s close to supermarkets, banks, and some good places to eat. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They also offer a small kitchen which you can use (but i think it’s to small for cooking). They offer really affordable laundry service (I guess 1$ per kg). Rooms were clean but very old fashioned

Nothing

The situation is perfect in the middle of the hystory centre. The staff is friendly, really helpful and cares about us.

Curtains in rooms didn’t block out the light very well — eye mask is a must.

Great location and staff was very nice. The front door of the hostal has to be unlocked by a member of the staff when someone enters/ exits which added a level of security. Laundry service was quick and good. Great value for price.

Great value perfect location, felt very safe. Staff was helpfu,, provided extra blanket when I requested. Very clean room and bathroom.

Staff were very good, great location, generally warm water for the shower, little kitchen was very usable. We used it as a hub going back and forth to Quito and was ideal.
