A great place to base yourself in Mindo to either do all the activities available or just unwind with the Hummingbirds on the back balcony. Close to restaurants, minimarkets, bus station. Friendly and helpful owner and staff.

The rooms aren't at all soundproof so you do hear your neighbours and the local neighbours too.
