The Traveler Hostel

- lovely team - good breakfast - clean communal spaces - information leaflet recommended activities - good wifi

- no card payment - on the main road and roughly a 15min walk to the centre of Otavalo

Very clean. Comfortable. Modern amenities.

Jonathan was beyond helpful with answer questions and setting up transport for an early morning appointment. The location is close to just about anything you may need with bus and taxi options right out the door. Nice hot shower!

The facilities are new, the kitchen is incredible, the beds are comfortable and the free breakfast is substantial.

The location, it’s close to bus stops but a 15 minute walk into town.

Super clean and tidy. Great bathroom

WiFi connection was not so good

The hostel is on a busy main road. Having said that, I must also say that I didn't hear traffic noise coming through during the night. Its location is between the terminal where buses from Quito arrive, and the stop where the buses to Tulcan pick up passengers. The famous plaza de Poncho market is about 10-15 minutes on foot. Various eateries are near the hostel. The interior decoration of the hostel is par excellence, solid rattan chairs, well finished wooden tables for dining, grey slate stairs and flooring. A kitchen in granite and steel, well designed for use. The dorm room has 3 wide single beds with colourful native blankets. There is a cupboard with 2 lockers for use.

Although the place is really well planned and decorated, the shower (for the hostel shared use) was not exactly clean. There is only one bathroom for showering.
