A Little Important Heads-Up:

*** If you are on a backpacking trip and looking for high traffic: We are a social place with mostly private rooms and a few shared dorms.We are not a crowded party scenario and it is always our guests decision if they want to be social or not. This makes our experiences unique and cozy so please consider that before you book your stay with us.
*** We’re proud to call this antique patrimonial masterpiece of a building our home, and like any historic treasure, it comes with its own delightful quirks and the energy that "modern" hotels just can’t buy.

The host helped us with good recommendations and was helpful. The rooftop terrace offers a great view of the city. I think it would be cool to have some gatherings with the guests on the terrace or at the bar because it has a lot of potential. The hostel felt safe and secure, which was a great thing as it was our first stop in Ecuador.

Off the bat, I want to say that the staff and location were great. The facilities were another story. My room on the second floor was nice enough, but there was only one operational bathroom—the other was filthy and did not have water. Despite asking a number of times, there was no drinking water and I had to use my water filter. I was encouraged to buy bottled water from the hostel for $2 each, which is a rip off. Finally, there was hardly anyone else in the hostel, leading to it feeling spooky
