No toilet paper, occasional powercuts ( not sure if this was national or the hostel)

Central, safe, secure, good food, comfortable bed, hot water, little shop inside premises for essentials, friendly staff, good wi-fi.

The location of the hostel is great, right across from the viewpoint of the lake. Rooms are basic but comfortable, the wood stove is great (and necessary, because it gets cold at night!). We had dinner and breakfast and enjoyed the simple, home-cooked food. The staff were very kind and welcoming, and helped us to organize a taxi to Latacunga for a decent price.

It felt a bit like they weren’t expecting any guests. There were no towels in the bedrooms and no toilet paper in most bathrooms. Both were provided at request. The place was super chilly. They lit the chimney in the lounge and our bedroom at our request, but it would be nice customer service to prepare that beforehand if you know guests are coming. We weren’t the only ones feeling cold.

Clean and neat rooms. The crater is just crossing the street. The food in the restaurant was yummy. Also, we were able to leave our luggage after checkout to do some crater-sightseeing before taking the bus.

The food was not very healthy. The lunch and dinner were the same.

The room we were in was small but it was comfortable.

It is a beautiful hotel in a lovely location.

Our only complaint was that the room was so small that it was difficult to move. There was only enough room to walk around the bed, leaving no place to put our clothes or backpacks.

Hostería Chukírawa is located right across from the viewing platform for Laguna Quilotoa. It's a beautiful old building that has been well cared for with lots of charm. The attached restaurant is very good, the best that we found in the village, and inexpensive. And there were nice community places to sit and relax with wonderful views.

Stuff acts like they don't care you are there. They are living their life regardless of your presence.

More expensive than similar hostels in other places in Ecuador

Wood burning stoves in the rooms were great for the cold nights

Stayed in December 2023

Dinner was average in a cold dining room (though breakfast was great). Some of the staff weren’t very friendly/attentive.

Our fire in our room was lit as soon as we arrived in the cold and wet which was lovely to sit and look out at the rain while drying off in a warm room. Comfortable room and a good shower. Very close to the viewpoint for the Quilotoa crater

Slight miss understanding regarding booking . Our booking confirmation included half board . Hotel said that wasn't the case . But the chief was great and resolved the situation .

Great location friendly staff. Wood burner stove in room ,nice and warm. Great breakfast.

The staff could have been a little more committed. One day I asked several times in the afternoon if the oven could already be turned on, it was always said: yes, but then no one came.. the water to fill up was also often empty and took the whole day until somebody refilled it..

We were lucky and got a room with windows to the outside, there are also many rooms that only have a window to the hallway. The food (dinner) was good, but nothing special. At night, the wood stove was stoked, which was super cosy and warm. The location right next to the lagoon was wonderful. Breakfast was lovely.

Nada!

The location is right across from Quilotoa lake crater. The meals (dinner & breakfast) are very good and large in portions. A very comfortable place to stay. Recommended!

The dinner and breakfast that are included are so so..

Ubicacion is perfect. Comfy.

Stayed in October 2023

The rooms were very cold so you couldn’t relax privately. The room photos show views of trees but there’s just a gravel construction lot. All the photos make it look better than it is, seems a bit deceiving. The biggest difference probably the brightness, this hotel is pretty dark in general. At reception, they accidentally tried charging us more than Booking.com price. They honored booking.com price after I showed them though. It’s expensive for what it is. We hiked the Quilotoa loop and all of our other stays were nicer and cheaper so it was a bit of a let down to end here where it’s not as nice and nearly double the price.

It was close to the Laguna view point which made it easy to go look whenever we wanted. There’s a wood stove in the room which can be lit - by request - after dinner which is cool. It’s clean Rooms feel safe with the deadbolt lock Really hot shower which is fabulous Water refill station provided for free Breakfast was really pretty

Food was good. Great location. Hotel staff was friendly.

Compared to the hostels on the quilotoa loop itself, I didn't find a place to dry clothes. At least for the 5-person dorm I found the outside (e.g. hotel floor) quite noisy early in the morning (5:30/ 6 am) and until late (11pm)

The common room was really cozy

Stayed in August 2023

Very cold if fire not lit, only one power socket upstairs in dorm, staff all stare when you come downstairs… came across a little weird.

Nice hostel in great location for Quilotoa loop. Meals included and fire in dorm room.

Stove was off at night. We should have asked them to light it, No might be our fault that the room was cold.

Excellent location. Helpful staff. Good food. Perfect for families wanting to visit the crater without having to hike for long distances

Breakfast was okay, dinner was pretty small portions. Room was very cold at night.

Very close to the quilotoa crater. Friendly staff. Spacious room with good view and great sunset spot. Shower was great.

Stayed in August 2023

The rooms are very cold and there is no heat. The staff is kind, helpfull, but distanced.

The location was perfect, just opposite the Laguna. Breakfast and dinner are very good. Luckily we had water ,because other hostels doesn't.
