Hostal Sanblas

Excellent location reasonable walking distance to old town sights, on good roadway for access to taxis and buses.

We were overall quite satisfied with the hotel. Hotel staff was nice and tried to be helpful, however, the staff barely spoke any english, which made communication difficult. Lack of english speaking was common at hotels across Ecuador. Hotel won't take credit card so make sure you've enough cash on you when checking out.

I stayed here while in Quito for two days. The hostel was perfect for what I needed. It seems paying in cash is the only option, and the rate was slightly higher (small change) than the booking rate on hotels.com. Owner is friendly, only speaks Spanish, which was good and forced me to practice! They called a cab for me when I needed to get back to the airport, which was great!

Close to old town quito. Great value. Not fancy but a great location and perfect for traveller on a budget.

No hot water and accepts only cash

The hostal was absolutely lovely!! Beautiful colors, lovely lobby, very nice rooms! The hostal staff was wonderful - even when we woke them up in the middle of the night when we arrived...and at 4am when we departed! Highly recommend this hostal!!

Great location, charming exterior and very courteous staff. But there it ends. Room was tiny which was O.K. Closet consisted of 2 hooks and 1 hanger. Queen sized bed was really a double. Very noisy overlooking the interior courtyard and jack hammering on roof renovation went on all the time. Worst of all, there is was no hot water! They certainly tried to remedy the problem, but we couldn't even get it to luke warm. One small light bulb in the middle of the ceiling was it for illumination. Forget about reading in bed. Cleanliness was average or slightly above. Again, the owners couldn't have been nicer, which makes it hard to recommend choosing another hotel.

Arrived much later than expected, but they stood at the door to welcome me. What a lovely charming place to spend a night or a weekend. The Hostel is on the square, and staff were more than helpful in collecting my bags and gear from the taxi at the curb at the base of the hill (no vehicles allowed). Front desk spoke a bit of English, so no problems of communications at all. Arranged for a taxi in the morning to the North Terminal Bus station, called and reserved a seat on the bus for me, and even let them know I had limited Spanish skills. All very professional, courteous and friendly. The room was more than adequate, private bathroom, and linens and towels plentiful. Charming little place overall.

Our stay here was quite pleasant. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. The location is good,but be aware that it is attached to a church so you get early bells on Sunday. Blanketed in wifi but had some trouble connecting. I would be happy to stay here again.

Excellent. Staff were very helpful with info on local transport links and sights. The hostel itself is a most charming building full of character.
