Our hostel is designed to bring people together. With multiple, large shared spaces, daily social events and happy hour, and a warm, inclusive atmosphere, you’ll feel part of the Community from the moment you check in. From salsa classes and language exchanges to karaoke nights and family-style dinners, there’s something happening every night to help you meet and mingle.

🤝 More Than a Hostel — A Built-In Family
What makes us different is our people. Our staff, volunteers, and guests create a welcoming, inclusive environment where it’s easy to connect. We regularly organize activities around Quito—from exploring hidden gems to nights out, cultural experiences, and spontaneous adventures together.

🛏 Newly Renovated for Comfort & Privacy (2025)
After major renovations in 2025, we’ve reimagined the hostel experience—earning recognition as the most improved hostel in Ecuador. Our dorms now feature private cubicle-style beds with blackout privacy curtains for extra comfort and privacy, oversized secure lockers for all your belongings, hot rainfall showers, and thoughtfully upgraded spaces throughout the property. Everything is designed to help you rest better and feel at home.

🍽 Family-Style Meals, Every Day
Our in-house chefs prepare homemade breakfasts and dinners daily, with rotating menus that are hearty, flavorful, and affordable. You’ll always find vegetarian and vegan options—and always leave the table full and happy. Prefer to eat out? We’re happy to share our local favorites.

Need help planning your next adventure? Our in-house agency, Community Adventures Ecuador, can help you organize everything from last-minute Galápagos trips to day tours to Cotopaxi, Mindo, Otavalo, Quilotoa, and more.

🍹 Rooftop Bar with a View
Unwind with a drink or coffee on our rooftop, where the views of Quito are as good as the company. We offer exclusive food and drink deals for guests, and the vibe is unbeatable—especially at sunset.

📍 Best Location in Quito
We’re located in the Historic Center, steps from iconic sites like the Basilica, La Ronda, Central Market, and more. You can explore them all on our Free Walking Tour Ecuador—a fun, informative intro to the city led by our amazing local guides.

The food was 11/10, it was restuarant quality. The family style dinners were a great way to meet other travellers amd socialise. The rooms with their separate pods were great. Overall it is a great hostel and would highly recommend. justvhe aware - 1. the hostel restaurant is open to the general public so they can enter the hostel and some lockers are in the hallways. 2. the noise is ridiculous at night. They had a DJ one night and karaoke another going until 11pm. bring ear plugs.

The Community Hostel is wonderful! I love the pod design of the dorms, the beds are super comfy, the staff are great, everything is clean, the food is tasty, there’s super fast WiFi, but most of all, the vibes are fantastic. Between family dinners and games nights, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting people and would come back here over any other hostel in Quito.
