Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Best deal in Otovalo. Spacious room with kitchen. Bicycles were stored safe in the apartment. Kitchen well enough equiped, we even were given a brand new kettle. All hostels in Otovalo were more expensive than this apartment.

    Wonderful hostel! Owned and managed by a delightful indigenous family who took the time to tell us about local life. Quiet location a bit outside of town, but within easy walking distance, even with kids. Felt very safe and had secure parking. Nice views of the valley and volcanoes. We would definitely stay there again!

    Amazing stay at The Traveler Hostel. The staff were all lovely and super helpful, with information on what to do in and around Otavalo. Incredible kitchen facilities for cooking dinners, and a nice space next to reception to chill and watch a bit of Netflix if you fancy. Great location, being a 10 min walk from the town and also close to Waterfalls and bus stops for trips out to the surrounding area.

    That place was so great! For that price - I was amazed by the size of the room and the level of cleanliness. It was spotless! The best hostel I've stayed in Ecuador. Went there for the market on Saturday and the hostel was right in the heart of it! Very easy to get around and the staff is helpful with whatever you need. Highly recomended!
