to get started.

We can't say enough about this hostel. The rooms are soooo comfortable and amazing. The value for your money is great. The rooms are spacious and just what we needed after the hike. The food is just so amazing and a really good portion. The staff is incredible and really on top of their game. If you are around the area doing the Quilotoa Loop, please do yourself a favor and stay here!

Clean room, hot shower.. Perfect last stop on the Quilotoa loop.

Ulli, Germany

The hostel was a great value for someone doing the Quilotoa loop hike. The food for dinner and breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The staff were very helpful with instructions and set up the furnace in our room to help our clothes dry.

Matthew, United States of America

Good food and big portions! Small shop with regular prices Free parking on premises

Bed was very comfortable. Felt like a camp lodge. Good tea selection.

Catie, United States of America

Cozy and comfortable bed, good dinner and breakfast

Amy, United States of America

Manage expectations and think of it like a hut to stop at along the loop. Hot showers a plus! Warm room with lots of blankets.

Courtney, United States of America

The beds were super comfy with plenty of blankets to stay warm at such a high elevation. The staff ALWAYS had a nice smile, they had everything there to where you don’t need to even go to a market for food/drink/snacks. They had a girl there who spoke fluent English (and probably many other languages) so it was always easy to relay anything we needed or wanted while we were there. They served both breakfast and dinner at no extra cost and offered to make lunches for your day for only $3. They had nice hammocks on all the patios right outside the rooms. Gorgeous views looking out at the mountains. Only 7-8 miles from Quilotoa and they have directions on how to walk there or let us know where to park since we had a rental car.

Brittney, United States of America

Awesome room and great breakfast. Good place to relax while walking the Quilotoa loop.

Owen, Canada

The bed was like a cloud. The chimney room was amazing and dried all our wet clothes in an instant. The food was DELICIOUS - breakfast and dinner. The staff was super helpful and lovely. When we got caught in torrential rain at the tail-end of a hike, Jose appeared in his 4x4 and rescued us. It is an incredibly wonderful and inviting place. You enter a little world of terraces and hammocks and good vibes when you go into the gates. They seriously took care of us.

Dinner was good but portions were relatively modest.
Large, comfortable room with nice hot shower. Log burners are a really nice and meant we were warm at night. Easy to find the hostal doing the Quilotoa Loop hike, and the staff were really friendly.

If I have to say something, it is the wifi that was not properly working in our room. But in the common space we had perfect connection.
The place is runned by super friendly staff, dinner and breakfast were delicious and the room (double) was enormous.

Not quite enough hot water in the tea urn for all to have as many cups as they wanted in the morning and the furry bedding was strange although warm.
This hostel was exceptionally good value for the money with b&b and evening meal for about 35 quid for both of us a night. The food was also good and the staff helped everyone to find the sendero way between Quilotoa lake and Chugchillan which was very necessary. Thanks for the signs and map guys. The hostel staff came round and lit fires in our room to keep us warm at night. Wifi worked well.
