My favourite hostel I’ve been to in my travels in South America. The staff were super helpful and kind to me, Mae, Cotto, Verena, Seb, Rosio and Ítalo were all fantastic (not to mention their many volunteers). Everyone who worked there was great to have a chat with and went above and beyond with their service! The food served here was delicious, the amenities were clean, and the hostel doggo is the cutest. Highly recommend the walking tours they offer and the Yoga class with Verena!! A+ with the pool of course !! stayed here for over 2 weeks and loved every second of it ❤️

Great hostel, nice staff, comfy beds and a nice breakfast. I'd stay here again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    we spent one night in this hotel two times during our trip in Ecuador. In my opinion is it sufficient and nice hotel in very old house in 3th floor. We had really big and nice room with river view and big bathroom. Nice place near Malecón 2000 and street "9 de Octubre" with a lot of shops and restaurants. Hotel is in safe part of the city. We can reccomend.

    Great location in the safe Las Penas neighbourhood. The hotel is amazing inside with chandeliers and Victorian era decor. The ceilings are all hand painted with designs and artwork. The staff are so friendly and helpful.

    + kitchen and fridge to use + super nice staff! + great (vegan) restaurant at the hostel one block away (Casa Michael, that’s where you check in and where the staff is in case of a question) + comfortable beds + location is allright. feels like a really safe neighborhood, Bus to the city center takes a while (but is cheap with 35 cents) Uber takes shorter (more expensive with 4-10 dollars though) + supermarket, food places and a mall close by

    Great location near the Malecon and still close enough to the airport/bus terminal. The budget double room is large and comes with AC. Our private bathroom was clean, although the shower head gets a bit temperamental. Bonus - wifi is super fast. They offer lunch and dinner, which we both got to try and they were delicious and reasonably priced. The hostel may be a bit dated but it’s hard to fault at this price range, so if you are not picky this is the place for you.
