    We got a double room and we were placed in the building opposite the main one. We were alone in the whole building and it was kind of spooky, but not a big deal overall. Also the room had some loose tiles on the floor and the ceiling which had not been fixed.

    It's a nice hostel and the staff are friendly. Breakfast was basic but tasty and the room was nothing crazy, though the bed was comfortable. Bonus that you can store your bag for 1$ a day while hiking Quilotoa. I would definitely recommend for a couple of days and it seems to be the most popular hostel in town.

    The staff will tell you that there is no bus to Sigchos before 8. Don't believe them, there are buses at 6 and 7 too, I had the impression they do it to get people pay for breakfast at the hostel. On my last day I had to catch an early bus, and I almost missed it because the girl at the reception left for 10 minutes looking for change to my 20 dollars. She could have let me pay by card instead.

    The place is very nice, there is a kitchen guests can use and it is right in the center. Great value for price.

    The hotel has a second building across the street but the rooms there are way less comfortable: much simpler and dark.

    Perfect location. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. The rooftop offers a magnificent view of thé Cotopaxi volcano. The hostel is beautifully decorated. There is a big kitchen where you can cook your meals. Good vibes overall where you can meet plenty of fellow travelers. The hotel offers tours to the Cotopaxi at a good price.

    Slightly noisy in the morning if you're trying to sleep in. The room did not really have natural light, but there was a window in the bathroom.

    Spacious room. Clean and comfy. Hot shower. Helpful staff, there's lots of info about the Quilotoa Loop and they booked a Cotopaxi tour for us. Nice communal space and relaxed vibe.

    It was noisy at night; to be fair-there was a big family group there obviously celebrating something so the noise was mainly lots of laughter! But it did go on after 10pm. The shower had hot water but there was nowhere to put things in the bathroom; small detail but a bit awkward. Breakfast wasn't great.

    Staff were very kind and helpful. I was on a timeline and they ensured my laundry was done in time. They also were helpful in assisting me with travel planning re buses. Location is great and room was big. There was free coffee and tea.

    The rooms were windowless and a bit musty. We stayed 2 separate nights and each time were put in a room right off reception. Just windowless and dark. Lights in the bathroom don't come on until 6pm and it's internal and, again, windowless so really dark in the day. It was fine but no more really

    It was good value for money which is the main thing really. Though they do charge for bag storage whereas most other places will let you store it for free.

    I stayed in the room across the street so maybe in the main building experience would be different. First of all the building smells like mold, the lock of bathroom door doesn’t work, the toilet light doesn’t work, the walls between room are thin and you can hear everything. The room itself was clean and good enough. Staff was nice and informative and in the reception there is information about buses to quilotoa and the hikes there. There are also cheap tours to cotopaxi.

    Was awkward that the cleaning person changed all the beds over an hour before checkout and was sitting outside the room waiting for me to leave so she could do mine also. I am never late to check out, but felt very rushed with her sitting watching

    Shower curtain was a little moldy and there was no hand soup in one of the bathrooms, but it was just a little thing that can be easily improved. There is a bar(?) nearby and the music was really loud, but only until midnight!

    Really nice and cozy hostel with well equipped kitchen and area to have food (or just chill)! Staff was super nice, as I was assigned the room next to the reception and I'm a very light sleeper I've asked them for another room. They changed it with no problem. I was staying in another building, it was very calm as I was the only one there. Hot water was running perfectly!

    We stayed in a private room, which offered a hostel experience for the same price as a nearby budget hotel, but still had the noise of a social hotel.

    Great location; good assistance for hikers and adventurers; convenient laundry service and bag storage. Great hot water in the shower!

    Best place to stay for Quilotoa Loop

    This is not the hostel's fault.... But there is a rooster close by in the neighborhood that likes to crow all throughout the night. I am an animal lover, but would have gladly roasted him for my supper. Bring earplugs; he made it very hard to sleep! (We actually only heard him on the second night, not on the first).

    We chose this hostel because of the convenient luggage storage, but ended up really loving our stay here. We were in Latacunga over Christmas to hike the 3-day Quilotoa ''Loop'', and stayed here the nights before and after the hike. Our rooms were amazing; very comfortable beds and squeaky-clean private bathrooms. Hot showers, spacious private rooms, cute building with colourful, decorative touches. The kitchen area is big and brightly painted, which I loved. One staff member helped us order a pizza on Christmas Night when everything was closed, which we really appreciated. The hostel was a 15-minute walk from the bus station where we needed to catch a bus to/from our hike. If you're hiking the Quilotoa Loop, this is where you want to stay before and after.
