This was our favorite hostel in Ecuador. The room had beautiful shuttered windows overlooking the courtyard. The shower had a great temperature and pressure. The bed was very comfortable. There was a TV with expanded cable. The hostel had lots of cheery common areas with beautiful skylights everywhere. The 24 front desk attendant made getting into and out of the building easy and safe. The location is amazing; literally above La Ronda with restaurants, bars, and shops. It's also only a few blocks away from the old town square.

The property is at a quiet place yet at a walking distance to the city center. The breakfast was excellent. The receptionist and manager Monika was very friendly and helpful. She spoke English fluently, which a rare found in Ecuador. She agreed to keep our heavy luggage (4 big bags) for 3 days while we travelled to Otavalo. She was a great host and she did everything to make our stay comfortable. Thank you Monika.

This is a hostel owned by a young couple from the usa and holland.They are always on location to help the guests. It is in the middle of the historic centre of quito. During my stay i was the festival of the lights. Amazing. Also the staff is so nice and the beds are so great. For sure i will be coming back very soon. My new favorite place to stay in Quito ecuador

For me this is the perfect hotel to stay. The kind stuff is always to your assistance and will help you with every question or problem. The owners advise turned out to be valuable every time. The hotel is very clean and there are nice decorations and in general a good order. The terrace has a nice view and the hotel is located in a beautiful quarter of quito.

Really simple but nice hostel/hotel in Quito. Good value for money, but not the best place to meet people. The man of the reception is really nice and helps you with everything he can. Free water refill is a plus! Would recommend for couples who are on a budget but not for single-travellers, unless you’re searching for some quiet time.

The best hostel I have stayed in Ecuador! The staff is very friendly and helping with everything, it is super clean, a lot of common areas and baggage storage. It is located in the Colonial (old) part of Quito, beautiful walks around the hostel! Everything was totally perfect, I highly recomend Friends Hostal. Peter Pan :)

Excellent location in the Quito Historic District with fantastic views of the city. Staff was attentive in helping arrange day and multi trips to various areas of Ecuador. Breakfast was delicious along with the evening meals prepared by the chef. This is my second stay here and already thinking about my return.

What to say. Best place. Second time in Ecuador and second time in Secret Garden. Shared rooms, good food, parties, environment, beautiful views while eating breakfast. I loved especially bread with avocado there. Only superlatives. Next time in Quito, again this hostel.

The staff was outstanding. Everyone that worked there was incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel has a nice modern feel with large windows in the common areas that offer a gorgeous view of the city. The location was great for exploring Quito’s Old Town.

This was by far our best hotel in Ecuador. Very helpful staff, great rooms, walking distance to bars and restaurants at Plaza Foch. We received take away breakfast on days we had to leave early. Very great service, I would definitely recommend La Casa Sol.

I love Casa CarpeDM! My time in Ecuador had me returning to Quito a lot. And I always came back and stayed here. Comfy beds with really nice sheets. Great views from the rooftop kitchen. Close to public transit and the Old Town.

The location is perfect, right in the old town and next to La Ronda Very comfortable beds and clean hotel Breakfast is good The wifi is very fast and the best I ever had in Ecuador Staff is very friendly

Great location, clean room. Hotel has a lot of traditional Ecuadorean culture! Staff stayed up late to greet us and offer a hot cup of tea. Highly recommend for a couple nights stay.

Really nice hotel with amazing decorative arts. Location is perfect, close to all must-sees in the old town. Staffs are super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good.

The location was excellent and the room as well with a fantastic view of the city! We would choose this hotel again if we return to Quito! 😍

i think this hotel is the best you can get in the old town of quito. the staff is very kind and helpfull. they try to give their best.

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Hotel looked very nice. Best breakfast we had in Ecuador.
