Guest Reviews

• Larissa Cristina (10/5): Otima hospedagem para aproveitar o equador, ate mesmo se precisar trabalhar - Muito confortável, com otimo espaço para trabalhar e socializar. Tudo muito limpo e tem shampoo e sabonete no banheiro
• Céline (10/5): Comme à la maison - C’est un hostel calme, mais on peut facilement rencontrer des gens sympas ! La cuisine est top, les chambres sont propres, et on a une vraie sensation d’intimité avec les lits entourés de murs et avec un rideau !
• FELIX (1/5): - Me gustaba porque es un lugar lindo Que el personal se portara tan discriminatorio por ser ecuatoriano y no era la primera vez que me hospedaba en el lugar ya me había hospedado antes pero esta vez me hicieron cancelar la reserva y argumentaron que solo personas extranjeras. Y muy prepotente la señora
• Ronald Jahir (10/5): - La ubicación.
• Miguel (10/5): - Muy buen lugar calidad-precio. Todo está muy bien: las camas, las zonas comunes, las duchas. Un lugar muy recomendable
• Luis Omar (10/5): -
• Jairo (8/5): -
• Thailan (3/5): Deplorável - Nada Há uma falta de comunicação entre os trabalhadores, me cobraram 3 vezes. No final da minha estadia tentaram me cobrar o dobro por uma noite.
• Jairo (8/5): -
• Jairo (8/5): -
• Leonela (9/5): -
• Moreira (10/5): - La atención muy buena desde el momento que realice una consulta para el cambio de hora de mi llegada
• Michał (4/5): - Nieuprzejmy personel, brudno i śmierdzi. Chcąc wynająć łóżko w pokoju na jedną noc, potrzebują jakiejś weryfikacji check in online, potem potrzebują paszportu, któremu robią zdjęcie - kopia paszportu nie wystarczy. Dość dużo formalności jak na łóżko za 5usd.
• Jose Portilla (10/5): Un lugar muy recomendable - La amabilidad, la comodidad de las camas, sobre todo el lugar , esta cerca de la plaza foch, una para de trole. Que no me querían dar hospedaje por ser Ecuatoriano, y en realidad andaba de mochilero ..
• Joseph (9/5): Very comfortable stay, great beds and amazing staff! - I stayed here for two weeks while recovering from getting my wisdom teeth out and it was a very comfortable stay. The beds are amazing with curtains, lights and outlets, it’s cheap, it’s nice and quiet even though it’s close to a nightlife area, it’s easy to meet people in the common area, and the staff are fantastic! This is all nitpicking, it’s a very nice place, but the showers like to boil or freeze you so you spend half the time waiting for a good temperature, the freezer doesn’t freeze anything not at the bottom back, and they let a group book out the hostel for one night, forcing the rest of us to move to their other hostel and come back.
• Heidi Micaela (9/5): -
• apolo (10/5): - Ubicación Limpieza Y lo muy trankilo q se pasa la recepción está siempre atenta a todo Un poco el tema del baño al ducharse se qda húmedo y no hay con q secar el piso sería bueno tener con que secar el piso del baño
• Luis_g_s (7/5): Barato, buena ubicación y habitación mediocre - La ubicación es el barrio de la Mariscal, un lugar que tiene un mercado de artesanía y muchos bares donde disfrutar de unas cervezas. La habitación estaba bien, con un baño completo y mucho espacio. El barrio de noche se siente peligroso y descuidado. La habitación no estaba muy limpia, incluso siendo un hostel esperábamos más limpieza. Las puertas y ventanas están viejitas, así que por la noche hace frío y se escucha bastante el ruido.
• MATIAS (10/5): Hostel perfecto en Quito! - Estadía perfecta. El personal muy amable. La cama era grande y cómoda. El wifi funcionaba perfecto. La zona común era muy amena para relajarse o comer. Pude dejar mi moto en el garage. Recomendable. La cocina es algo incomoda cuando hay más de 2 personas tratando de cocinar.
• Javier (10/5): - La comodidad y la atención Algunos temas menores locativos: grifo con escape
• Javier (10/5): -
• grace (10/5): Great place, great location - My fourth and final stay (this year) was as good as the previous ones. This time I really enjoyed how close the place was to the Ecovia and used it to get to Parkour in the Cumanda Community Centre, Parque Carolina (go Saturday / Sunday if you want to join in cheerleading) and the astronomy museum.
• Benjamin (5/5): -
• Juan Sebastian (10/5): Magnífico - Su acogimiento todo el personal muy serviciales
• Davide (10/5): -
• Julie (9/5): - Hostel très bien placé, dans un quartier agréable, proche de tout. Chambres très agréables, avec des rideaux, lumières et prises individuels qui permettent une vrai intimité même en dortoir. Grands casiers pour stocker les affaires personnelles en toute sécurité. La cuisine est aussi très appréciée. Le personnel est très conciliant et présent. Je recommande à 100%
• Perig (10/5): - Todo
• Samantha Sepulveda (9/5): Recomendo - A acomodação é boa, camas em cápsulas confortáveis, com bastante espaço, tomara e lâmpada tudo individual A localização é boa para bares, mas fica distante do centro de Quito
• KARINA (9/5): - Excelente ubicación, el personal muy amable y nos dieron guía para llegar a lugares... Muy recomendable vuelvo seguro.
• YUTO (8/5): - スタッフの対応が親切でした。 清潔でした。 コインランドリーはなかった。
• Airi (6/5): -
• grace (10/5): 3rd visit - My favourite part was beating Andres at pool.
• Cuenca. (8/5): puede mejorar la comunicación - ubicación muy buena que no informaran a tiempo los requisitos para poder hospedarse, sin embargo después dieron una opción aceptable
• Olivia (10/5): Zum Weiterempfehlen - Das Personal war supernett, die Zimmer gemütlich und die Betten mit Vorhang ausgestattet. Die freundlichen Mitarbeiter waren sofort bei jeder Frage und jedem Problem hilfreich zur Stelle. Es war sogar spontan möglich, dass ich eine Übernachtung storniere und mich bis zur Abreise in den Gemeinschaftsräumen aufhalte und auch dusche. Und der Preis war unglaublich günstig. Die Küche ist ein wenig eng zu den Stoßzeiten (aber gut ausgestattet) und die Böden in den Bädern meist sehr nass. Aber es gibt heiße Duschen!
• Alexander (7/5): -
• Alexander (7/5): - Soap and shampoo is provided - Being dependent on the staff to open the door - too less bathrooms
• PAVEL (10/5): -
• Felipe (10/5): - Ubicación, habitaciones.
• Oliver (9/5): -
• Jaramillo (10/5): -
• Juan Felipe (9/5): -
• Léonie (6/5): - Bon emplacement, un billard dans l'espace commun rend l'ambiance agréable. Forte odeur de tabac, assez bruyant en soirée.
• Pilpe (9/5): -
• quintero (1/5): - Nada no dejaron ni entrar No dejan ni entrar atienden con desconfianza desde una reja no dan ni la cara me negaron la entrada
• Franeika (3/5): Unless you are a vampire and don't require sleep.... - The facilities were decent, the staff was very nice and kind. Having a place to secure your belongings was nice as well. The room I stayed in is located at the very front of the house as soon as you enter; just before the reception desk. Thus it is very noisy from people in the kitchen, the common areas and entering and leaving the facility, and drunks yelling/fighting on the street. But the most unbearable thing is the LOUD, ANNOYING, INCESSANTLY barking dog directly at the window. Only a thin wall (with an open window) separates you from the dog. The dog barks All. Night. Long (pretty much). I stayed 4 nights, and maybe slept for 4 hours at most in one night. The last night I literally didn't sleep at all. I think the property where the dog is, is somehow related to the hostel. There is a connecting door off of the kitchen that people from that property use to come into the hostel. And also if you are a non-smoker, the smoke from the common area comes in because the room faces onto the kitchen/common area. The room windows are open because they are the only source of ventilation and fresh air.
• Martin (10/5): - The hostel is located 15ish minutes from teh nearest metro station, there is a big supermarket near the hostel. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The room was nice and cozy. We could work in the shared areas, which was great.
• Sunrang (8/5): -
• Robson (4/5): Muito apertado o quarto. - A localização á boa. O quarto era pequeno e o banheiro não era bom.
• Guest (7/5): Buena - El lugar es pequeño, pero tiene todo lo necesario para estar unos días. El lugar es cerrado, por lo tanto las habitaciones huelen a humo siempre, y siempre hay gente fumando, todo el día.... Hasta en las habitaciones de arriba llega 3l humo y es molesto... (no solo humo de cigarro)
• Benjamin (8/5): A real hostel experience - Situated in a decent neighbourhood. Dorms are small but each bunk bed is in a little wooden cubicle with a curtain across the front. Plenty of hot water for showers. Good communal areas. Staff can arrange/help with transfers and tours.. nothing
• Scott (9/5): Superb -
• Ludmila (7/5): Good - Nice location, friendly staff Internet doesn’t work well , so if you want to work that’s a problem, the shower was not hot and they’re is only 2 shower for like 30 person . No inside area for working , it’s only inside , so in cold weather .
• -nicole- (8/5): Very good - We stayed here every time we traveled through Quito, it's a solid hostel. The staff were nice and helpful. Room was comfortable. Reliably hot shower. Communal space is good. The towels are so thin they're basically transparent, this place could use new ones. The gate can only be opened by staff, even when you're leaving the premises.
• Vadim (9/5): Superb -
• Sam (7/5): Good -
• Lucie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional - The private cubicle beds in the dormitory were the best thing!
• Valencia (10/5): Cozy - It’s comfortable, the hotel employees are really kind and helpful. You could get into or leave the hotel at any time you need. The common areas are ok. This hotel is located in a good zone, it’s in the city’s center.
• Scott (8/5): Amazing, huge room, but don't expect much from the kitchen facilities. - We were very surprised by how much value we felt like we got out of the room itself. Large bathroom, comfortable hot shower, HUGE room with pleasant windows (that could have easily fit two more people in the cubicle-style bunk beds), a couch and a great balcony, all at a very competitive price. The hostel also features large common areas, a very handy (locked) luggage storage and is generally quiet... Our only surprise was an all-day marching band practice right next to our room on a weekend morning/afternoon, so keep some earplugs handy just in case! Great place to stay with an excellent location in general, though. While the outdoor common areas were nice, smoking is permitted and (in our case) was very prevalent. Also, the kitchen facilities are very small, a bit unclean (the refrigerator definitely needed a deep clean) and somewhat ill-equipped for making your own meals. There is a wealth of great dining options in the area, however, so it may well be worth using the savings on your accommodation to eat out!
• Michelle (6/5): Pleasant - The staff were very friendly and professional I booked a private room and it didn't exactly match the photos on booking.com. it was a small dated space, dark lighting with an awkward bathroom which floods when you shower. For the price, you get what you pay for, I booked the room as a place to rest for a few hours before leaving on a trip to the Amazon. It served its purpose for me
• Faruque (8/5): Very good -
• Faruque (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lavinia (7/5): Good -
• Arvin (7/5): Good - good area if you look for night life . hostel have seen better days apparently . 2 diffrent music playing same time. the gate to come in and out of hostel is truly pain IA. the hostel needs a good clean up . they assume to not use much water and blabla but actualy watter leackes freely in the toilets. its just and old building which needs maintenance,
• Max (9/5): Superb - It's a cute hostel with a nice setup/courtyard and pleasant comfortable dorm beds with curtains. Staff were helpful and kind. Great location to explore the nightlife on a weekend as it's so close you can walk everywhere and there's plenty of decent places nearby
• Diaz (10/5): Blue blue - La.atencion, la.tranquilidad -
• Heart (6/5): Pleasant -
• Elie (10/5): Exceptional - one of the best hostel i stay in my life nothing
• Sei (9/5): Good start for my trip. - Hostel is clean and I felt safe in there. Beds is in the pod,so you can have private space. Breakfast restaurant is just at the corner. People are kind.
• Hamideh (9/5): Superb - The vibe of the hostel was super friendly and cozy and i liked being around with the friendly personel and the other travellers.The shower had a good presure and pleasantly warm water and the beds in the shared room have a good privacy . My bed and the room was acceptably clean and whatever you need you could find it in the kitchen. It is also close to good vegeterian and indian restaurants and several cafes. all in all, It was way better than what i expeccted for the price. It is a typical thingn in Quito that it is better not to hang out alone late at night and preferably take a taxi to the door of the hostel.
• Nitin (10/5): Exceptional - everything was great
• Angus (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. Comfy, private beds with personal lights and chargers. Secure lockers, friendly staff, good kitchen, pool table. Would be good to have a door release switch on the inside instead of having to call the staff to let us out
• Vinícius (8/5): Very good - Good location, good Wifi, bed was comfortable, kitchen had many appliances, nice common area to stay in sofas. On the first day when I arrived there was no hot water in the shower. There should be a more rigorous control of the noise during the night, during 1 of the nights some people were playing music and talking very loud until about 3-4 AM.
• Nitin (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was great
• Finn (9/5): Superb -
• Finn (10/5): Exceptional -

• Danny (10/5): Exceptional -
• Elizabeth (2/5): Absolutely would not recommend - I didn’t like anything It was in a very questionable area and I got cat called as I walked in from a man in the lounge/main area of the hostel. The woman at the desk was rude and dismissive. The room itself was tiny and not that clean. The bathroom was gross with a massive open window facing a walkway. The woman at the desk didn’t mention anything about how to rent a towel so there was no way for us to dry our hands.
• Danny (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional - The place has really nice common areas! They have a lot of books) even one of them in russian, which they landed to me for 2 weeks👍🏼 The room didn’t have a lot of natural light
• Kevin (6/5): If you stay here, better bring some ear plugs. - Good Location near bus stop, restaurants, subway. Hostel right next to a practice area for a drum corp. They were banging those drums most days! Toliet had a leak that wasn't fixed.
• Ana (10/5): Exceptional - The location was good, stuff was very friendly and helpful. Thank you very much Blue house team!
• Mateen (9/5): Superb -
• Nitin (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was excellent...hot shower, excellent internet, staff, shared kitchen, location .... highly recommended
• Smolij (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dariana (3/5): Wouldn't recommend it - We were just passing throughout the area and decided to stay here considering the price. The shared bathroom was very dirty. There were a lot of visible mold and pretty ugly stains ( I hope it wasn't what I think it was) on the walls. You could hear everything from the private bedroom. There was a VERY loud TV until almost 10 pm. We could hear everything that was happening at the hostel, making it impossible to get some sleep.
• Leon (8/5): Very good -
• Dennis (5/5): Convenient but bad smell. - Convenient for our needs. They kept our luggage for us after checkout. The room had a very bad odor as if a strong cleaning agent had been overused. Smoking was allowed in the general seating area.
• Haixia (10/5): Exceptional - Everything is good Nada
• Saberahmed91 (9/5): Superb -
• Haixia (10/5): clean and comfortable - It’s my 2nd time to stay in this hostel. I’m satisfied about everything Nothing
• Natanael (9/5): Great location and friendly staff. - The facility was amazing. It has a lot of places to sit and relax. The pool table is in great shape. This stop was helpful and it was easy to pay for the room. The only thing that was bad about the stay was the curfew. Everything shut down a bit early.
• Haixia (9/5): Superb -
• Deirdre (4/5): Glad it was only one night - Didn’t live up to the ratings on Hostel world disappointed with room and shower. Communal area wasn’t great. Cooking area poor. Kitchen area. Shower. Communal area.
