About

Our hostel is also our house, so it feels like home. On top of our undivided attention, you will find a fully-equipped kitchen, an air-conditioned living room with a 50” LCD, super-fast internet, a washing machine and even a piano. We will make you feel at home! We love to share our vast knowledge regarding South America in general and Ecuador and Galapagos specifically. We are very flexible, and will be happy to assist in any problem and answer any question.

The hostel is located very close to the airport/bus terminal. You can find all you need within a short walking distance: banks, supermarkets, food (McDonalds, Dominos, KFC, PizzaHut, Wendies, Papa Jones, and a LOT of local food). 3 malls (Mall del Sol, CityMall, RioCentro Norte) are within a 5 minute taxi/bus ride. The neighborhood (Alborada) is a very safe one.

We have a variety of rooms, ranging from basic dormitories through the A/C dormitories, to family rooms. All our rooms have free high-speed WIFI.

Great buy! Location not the greatest but reasonably close to airport and Mall del Sol, and uber is super cheap here $2-5 main street within about 100-200 yards with markets, groceries, baked goods, street foods, and major bus lines common areas weary and worn, but the private ensuite room was clean and comfortable with tv and ac When I tried to extend my stay by a day, they initially requested to up the daily rate, which I avoided by going back through the app
