- Apolline (10/5): Great place - All good really nice location, room, breakfast. Cute place to chill with sofas
Recommend !
- Manon (7/5): - Petit dej très bon Les murs ne sont pas insonorisés du tout donc quel plaisir d’être réveillées par un groupe de guests qui parlent dans les communs à 6h du matin…
- Serenella (10/5): - Posizione vicinissima alla piazza dei poncho ma tranquilla.
Hostal molto pulito.
Colazione buona, semplice e abbondante.
Gestori gentilissimi e pronti a soddisfare le nostre richieste.
Super super consigliato.

- David (10/5): - Ubicación cercana a todo, instalaciones cómodas y agradables, personal atento.
- Cristian (9/5): -
- Théo (9/5): - Très bien, confortable, petit déjeuner correct le matin
- Walter (6/5): -
- Anne (8/5): Sober maar goed prijs kwaliteit - Dit is een ideaal verblijf als je niet veel geld wilt uitgeven en geen luxe nodig hebt.
Alles is er.
Ontbijt is minimaal maar voor de prijs goed Je ian de kamer niet donker maken ‘‘s nachts met de gordijnen
- Anne (7/5): Ideaal voor weinig geld - Sober maar goed
- Alan (10/5): - Very friendly staff, great location, very nice room and comfortable bed. Good WiFi. The breakfast was a bit sparse but we had been warned by other reviews so supplemented it. Considering the price it's certainly not a complaint.
- Ana Rita (9/5): - Nous avons très bien été accueilli! La chambre est très confortable, l'hostal est bien situé également. Le petit déjeuner est bien mais plutôt leger.
- Buckley (9/5): -
- Greg (7/5): Good value for money. - Perfect for a one night stay when visiting the market. Alex is friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the TV had Netflix. Market was just a few blocks away. Breakfast was basic, and if you’re not on time your eggs and hot water get a bit cool, but you get what you pay for.
- Tom (7/5): - Location is great, staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast and in particular the knocking on the door before breakfast. No need for me to get knocked on my door to be honest. Breakfast was quite poor. Some fruit with yoghurt would have been nice.
- Cristian (10/5): Excelente - Las instalaciones Ambiente frío
- Lilian (5/5): - Kostenloses Trinkwasser zum Flaschen Auffüllen
Personal freundlich
Gute Lage
Zimmer mit Fernseher und Netflix Schlechtes WLAN im Zimmer
Frühstück nur zu einer Uhrzeit (8 Uhr morgens)
Nachts hört man viel Lärm von den Straßen
- Zurita (8/5): -
- Arcl20 (9/5): - Excelente atención de la persona encargada, buena ubicación.
- Nancy Revelo (8/5): -
- Pascal (9/5): - pouvoir mettre notre voiture de location a l'abri dans un garage et proximit"e du centre ville,eau filtrée a disposition. petit déjeuner moins généreux que ceux que nous avons pu connaitre dans d'autres endroits en équateur, mais bien quand mème.
- Kevin (8/5): -
- Marine (7/5): - Accueil et disponibilité du personnel.
Emplacement proche de la place aux ponchos.
Chambre spacieuse.
Wifi. Literie assez dure.
Rue extrêmement bruyante.

- Maria (10/5): Nice room - The room was nice, spacious and clean, and the location was good.We could wash the laundry and hang on the terrace. Nice view from the terrace. The breakfast was good, especially the juice , even if it was the same every single day. The breakfast is not on a period of time, 1 or 2 hours , They are letting you know when it is ready , knocking on the door.
- Gideon (10/5): - Secure parking for our motos inside the hotel with an easy access (room for a few cars, too, but in one line). Very good value, price lowest in town. Room comfortable. Could use dining area for PC. Location two blocks from tourist area, so quiet, no qualms walking area. Wifi ok. And a simple breakfast included. Well, I'm not sure the goldfish is really enjoying life in its tiny tank.
- Pauline (9/5): - Chambres très confortables et propres, personnel sympathique, hôtel agréable ! Nous avons passé une très bonne nuit 🙂 Le petit-déjeuner était trop léger.
- Xavier (10/5): - Great place
- Dean (10/5): - Super friendly with enough English for me to find a close restaurant 😎
- Jeff (10/5): - Great stay. Friendly, close to the market, clean, bright room, good bed.
- Daae (10/5): Exceptional - Nice place to stay! Staffs was really kind and help full:)
- Sonia (10/5): - The room with a queen bed was very nice and it’s in a quiet area, I don’t recommend the breakfast though, they didn’t have milk for coffee or tea, you can get a better breakfast elsewhere
- Ridge (8/5): Very good - roomy clean barking dogs
- Ryan (7/5): Good -
- Bittner (9/5): Great stay in Otavalo - super friendly owners
great breakfast
amazing stay wifi was not working in the room
mattress a little hard
- Martin (9/5): Good location - Clean, comfortable accommodation. a 5 minute walk to Plaza de Poncho with breakfast.
- Ron (4/5): Disappointing -
- Atsushi (9/5): Superb - Great little guest house less than 5 minutes to Market. Clean, simple, very good value for money. Staff very friendly. English Is limited but google translate worked well. Barking dogs In night (not hostal’s fault). bring ear plugs.
- Matthew (8/5): - It was very good except there was no toilet seat in my room. When I questioned why not later on, I was told that they hadn't had time to replace the one that had broken the previous day. That's something you really need to explain to people when they first arrive. Assuming that's been fixed though, it's a very clean, modern place with very friendly staff.
- Edrs (9/5): Good value stay - Everything (except windows) was extremely nice: nice bathroom with reliably hot water, spacious room with comfy bed, nice view of the mountain and good location not far from the center.
Can't comment on breakfast as we never had it. Host tried to charge us for the "commission" (which is what they have to pay to booking). I don't know if it was an honest mistake or if they routinely try that on tourists; In any case we refused and they backed off, I suggest you do the same.
Windows noise insulation is terrible, you can hear a lot of noise.
- Thomas (8/5): Very good -
- Chris (8/5): Arauco Hostel in Otavalo - It’s a rather new place, very clean. In the downtown area so you can walk easily to the square and to the club area. Nice people run it. Bring cash. There are great food stands in the square..this is a good town to visit.
