Hostel Revolution Reviews

An excellent, clean, and cosy hostel in a good part of Quito. The area seems much more interesting than Mariscal (which I found very boring), and most of all, it is considerably safer. Clean dorms, enough bathrooms, very knowledgeable staff. No free breakfast, but that's not an issue at all, you can get cheap and tasty breakfast for about $2 in many restaurants down the street.

Lovely, laid-back place to stay. Beautiful, spacious kitchen. Matt was wonderful and very helpful. Great location near the historical district, but on a quiet street.

Nice, spacious dorms. Good beds. Large kitchen. Clean bathrooms, plenty of toilets and showers. Owners and staff were reasonably friendly. Main drawback of this hostel: There was not much of an atmosphere, perhaps in part due to the fact that the common rooms were small and not very comfy, so there was no good area for socializing with other travellers. Overall not a bad option though.

Matthew and Johnnie are the nicest guys. They helped me find places around the city and helped me all my needs. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone. I stayed a week and enjoyed all of my time there. Thanks guys. Philip.

I liked this hostel so much I stayed an extra week, well I also liked Quito so it wasnt just the hostel. The staff are nice, the hostel is spotlessly clean, wifi is good, showers have hot water, the common areas are nice and the location in between the old town and new town is perfect, as the old town is much cheaper to eat in and has character, while its also nice to jump in a taxi (2dollars) to the new town for some partying..... overall very impressed, well done to Matt and his team.

A great location and a lovely old building with spacious, comfortable rooms. The staff are nice enough, but not very enthusiastic at all. The owner Matt seems rather depressed and a bit shy, and the guy Mike who was working there seemed to be tired and and bored. Shame, because it's otherwise a fantastic place.

The location at first seems inconvenient, but actually it's right between the Old Town and the Mariscal, so you have access to both areas of the city you're likely to want to visit. Quite a few of the DVDs in the TV room don't work, but there are enough that you'll find one eventually. Otherwise the hostel is near perfect. Great rooftop views. Well equipped kitchen. Hot water. Pretty fast internet. Friendly and helpful staff. Would reccommend.

Would definately go back to this hostel again. Lovely people and a very nice place. Not a party hostel, just a great place to stay!!

Nice small Hostel in the historic center of Quito. Friendly Australian/English staff. Really clean, good beds, spacious rooms, big kitchen. The hot water system for the showers is terrible though. Definitely not a party hostel but a really good option if you prefer a quiet atmosphere.

Matt was very helpful and knowledgeable about Quito! I was given a small map of the immediate area around the hostel on arrival, which was nice. Everything was clean, and having a reliable hot shower was very nice. Wifi worked well too. Would stay there again!

Overall very good. Quiet and low key, but accessible to where you want to go. Clean showers (though somewhat spotty warm water). Matt, the owner, was quite helpful.

One of our favourite hostels! Amazing staff. They provide you with a very detailed map of things to do in Quito. There are reasonably priced restaurants and services within a few block radius (map also provided). Key attractions are a short bus ride (bus is 1 block away). Staff are very helpful in booking tours and are very knowledgeable about areas you may want to be aware of. Hostel has a great kitchen and common area with two computers and large movie collection. Showers are adequate.

Hostel was great, in a good location in between the old centre and La Mariscal. The staff were really friendly and the dorm was great, comfortable beds! I did overhear the owner talking about how easy it would be for someone to break the door down... maybe that could have been kept quiet for peace of mind! Otherwise great hostel and it really is safe in a nice area.

Brill little hostel conveniently located for both old town and new town. Very clean, with great hot showers and lots of toilets. Helpful staff, Australian owner Matt was knowledgeable and helfpul although generally seemed a bit grumpy, although Johnny was very helpful. Lovely secure building, relaxed atmosphere, cracking DVD collection (although mostly Spanish dubbed), free coffee and internet and as advertised definitely not a party hostel. We enjoyed it - recommended.
