Hostal Chasqui Reviews

Staff was very helpful. Made sure I knew where everything was and always greeted me by name as I walked around the hostal.

The two biggest pros were the kitchen (2 sinks, fridge, oven/stove) & the owner, who is super nice & accommodating. Like others said, it's a really big building and it feels kind of empty, especially because the lights are dimmed. The best place to meet others is prob the kitchen. There is free wifi but no computer. It's a few blocks away from the touristy area. It gets very cold, so dress warm. Some rooms are nicer/cleaner looking than others so ask to see a dif. room if you're not satisfied.

This is a huge, warm. accommodating hostel which gets much of its wonderful character from its owner, Roberto. He infuses this big, rambling hostel with energy, enthusiasm and warmth, with big hugs, favors, energetic explanations of the area's wonders and even trips to the bus station if it's pouring. I found that Roberto had even wrapped up my leftover fruit. Right in town, walking distance, it's all you want. But Roberto makes this hostel everything it is.

The owner, Roberto, is definitely the highlight of this very cozy hostel. He provided me all the information I needed for my hiking trips in one go! The hostel has a homely feeling, with everyone socializing in the kitchen/dining area. The views from the terrace are amazing! Rooms are clean and very good value, showers have hot water and there are washing machines to do your own laundy. The wifi is good in the lounge and some rooms, but not sure about its range. Highly recommended!

Very friendly owner, he was very helpful in showing us around the city. Overall a great stay, if i ever go back to Otavalo I would definitely stay here.

The hostel was close enough to the centre and the owner was very attentive! He took a lot of time to make sure everything was okay. I booked a single room, but they were unavailable by the time I checked in, and he gave me a 3 bed room to myself instead! I didn't use the kitchen during my stay but the rooftop is beautiful and sunny and has a very nice view. The whole place was super clean.

Great place! Good location! The owner, Roberto, is just fantastic! Has a kitchen if you are looking to cook. The rooms were spacious and clean- some with pretty balconies!

Comfortable room and Roberto was very helpful.

really recommended!! You will get all the help you need, and the beds are SO NICE!

Really friendly and helpful owner, good quiet location just a few minutes walk from the main town centre. Lovely hostel with nice roof terraces and great views, good kitchen area also a bonus! The rooms are lovely and spacious, and very clean! Would definitely recommend!!

Roberto was very informative and friendly

Roberto is awesome! We only stayed there for one night, so it's hard to say more, but he's a great guy and gave us good insights on what to do in Otovalo.

It's not right in the center, but it's small town anyway, no problem to go to places. But you may not want to walk from the bus stop with a suitcase, and no lift in the hostal either. Excellent view from the roof top, kitchen is located at the top floor. Very clean and well kept. There are enough utilities to cook. Room is cozy although smell from the toilet was quite strong. The staff, Robert was friendly and helpful. People who were staying there were very nice. Excellent value for money.

Great location. The most helpful staff we have yet found in regards to tourist info. gives you a map and a virtual tour from the rooftop on arrival as well as lost of advice on places to go, things to do and how to get there. Kitchen was well equipped and large.

Clean, cozy rooms, nicely decorated. Great kitchen/rooftop area to hang out and a large multi-purpose public space on the first floor (bar? music? wasn't used while we were there). But, they do not accept credit cards.

We spent nearly two weeks in Chasqui Hostal. Roberto, the owner is a great person, who gave us a lot of tips connected with Otavalo and nearby atractions. The rooms were regularly cleaned and the showers had hot water. There was well equipped kitchen and great terrace to relax on. To make it short, there was nothing we could complain about.

Roberto is super informative, really friendly, accommodating and laid-back. The rooms are clean and well stocked with warm blankets, a must here. There is a clean, large enough kitchen with plenty of space to cook.
