Hostel Revolution Reviews

Really good hostel, overall had a very pleasant stay. Matt and Johnnie were two of the best hosts we've had. Could not of asked for a better stay in Quito. Sorry we didn't get to say bye to Johnnie before we left but thank you for keeping us company on our last night, it was a pleasure to meet you.

I really enjoyed my stay here, it is a chilled, clean, hostel, hot showers, comfortable beds, good kitchen, tv lounge, bar, very helpful & friendly staff. custom map & lots of info given about Quito & old town where it is located. not the Hilton but for $9 a night no complaints. If you just wanna party in a hostel all day & hang out in gringo bars at night in new town then this is not for you, but if you want a good budget hostel base when you visit old town then I highly recommend it.

La experiencia fue excelente! nuestros tres dias en quito fueron muy buenos y la gente de revolution, mathew y la señora de la limpieza, nos ayudaron mucho a pasarla genial. Muy limpio,con pc e internet,dvds,cafe y te libre. duchas calientes y todos muyamables. Muy bueno!!!! super recomendable!

Billed as a quieter place than the party-style hostels, unfortunately it seemed so muted as to feel empty and having lost any of its vibe or character. Staff seemed a bit tired and disengaged. Maybe it was a lull after a too-busy summer, but it felt it needed a pick-me-up and some TLC. I did like the location though, in a cool neighbourhood easy walking distance from the old quarter, parks, hill-climbing look-outs and many of the many tourist sights.

Good wifi, clean bathrooms, hot water, a half-decent and clean kitchen, and a good tv room with plenty of dvds, we enjoyed our stay here. The hostel is *very* quiet, and doesn't really have a meeting/general area to chat to people. The location is between the old city and the new (plaza foch) so good for getting to see both. The staff we spoke with were generally not that friendly or helpful though. You'll get a good nights sleep here at least.

Great hostel in fantastic location. When we were there is was really quiet which suited us so we can't comment on atmosphere really. But it was clean and secure and the staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgable about the area. Would definitely stay again.

Easy walk to Old or New Town. Matt was great---really enjoyed it.

Nicely run hostel very close to the historical center of Quito. Great kitchen so plenty of money can be saved cooking if you're on low budget. Plenty of areas to chill out and have a couple of beers too.

An excellent, cosy hostel in the old part of Quito. The crew knowledgeable about the area. Safe location close to Itchimbía Park, which offers a great view of downtown Quito.

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.

Staff very helpful -- especially since did last minute booking. Thanks!

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.
