Hostel Revolution

Welcome! �Bienvenidos� to Hostel Revolution - a friendly, small & cozy owner-operated Backpacker hostel in Historical Quito.

We are located on the northern edge of the beautiful Historical Center of Quito near Alameda Park, easy walking distance to all the main attractions. Explore the cobbled streets, plazas, museums, parks and courtyards and soak up the traditional atmosphere. The historical center has recently been revigorated as a result of a massive restoration process.

HR is in a colonial type house with wooden floors and decorative plaster ceilings. We have a rooftop terrace with great views,ample clean & modern bathrooms and common area/bar.

HR is owned by Matt and Maria, an Australian / Ecuadorian couple who have a small dog, Shakira. HR is not a rowdy party hostel but a small capacity, chilled hostel with a quiet er atmosphere for people of all ages, which provides a comfortable base to visit the historical center.
