About

Community Hostel Alausi brings you an extraordinary experience in the Ecuadorian Andes. Nestled in between the mountains and home to the famous Devils Nose train ride. We want to show you not only Alausi but the beautiful surroundings that are ready to be discovered! So join us for amazing food, great company and unbelievable views. We pride ourselves in creating a community for the traveller through an overall experience of local involvement, knowledge, and contribution.

We are based near Quito. By staying with us you get to meet other travellers and share experiences over breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our food is gourmet and we explore the local flavors to show you what this region has to offer. For us this region has all the history of the famous Devils Nose Train ride. It explores the agricultural wealth that exists here and a home to the diversity of the indigenous communities of the region. You can visit Tuesday through Sunday for the train ride or on Thursdays and Sundays for the indigenous Market.

We offer complementary laptops which are fully loaded to work or play, and free WiFi within the hostel so that you can quickly and easily keep in touch with your families and loved ones.

This hostel is great. It’s extremely clean and is super close to the train station. This time of year there aren’t many tourists so it was a bit quiet but still had a very chill vibe. The staff are also very friendly and helpful.

Don Marco was one of the friendliest hosts I’ve ever had! What a quality human being. The hostel was impecable, the prices were unbeatable, everything was modern, breakfast was included & delicious! Marco also suggested and amazing hike to La nariz del fiable which we did; he dropped us off at the head of the trail and gave us some tips for the way back. Staying here was a very memorable experience and I certainly hope to come back someday!
