I stayed here cos it was 10*. The receptionist was lovely so I don't want to leave a bad review, but I want to be helpful for future travellers. I found the dorm to be quite stuffy with no ventilation and a smell from the kitchen. The doorbell rang throughout the night waking me up, and the boiler was so loud it also kept me awake. Also the price doesn't include tax which seems to be more than at other hostels. Good things were location, hot shower, warm blankets, & light and power for each bed.

Amazing place to stay in Otavalo. Really clean. Comfy beds. Nice kitchen. The Owner Patricio helped me find good late night food as well as good coffee and breakfast. He even gave me some advice on a hike I was planning and recommended me an alternative I didn’t know about that was everything I wanted. I recommend you stay here

Overall decent spot! Beds were warm and staff were friendly and helpful! Good common / kitchen area. There was never toilet paper in the washrooms which was a bit annoying lol. But overall pretty good spot!
