I have stayed here many times and I highly recommend this Bed and breakfast. From the moment you enter not only do the beautiful flower gardens and painted murals greet you but the staff make you feel welcome and are wonderfully kind and extremely helpful. I enjoy the peace, tranquility and safety this Bed and Breakfast provides. The English speaking... More

Only two blocks from Plazo de Ponchos, this hostel is a good option in Otavalo. It is an easy walk from the bus station or if you get dropped on the highway (many buses do this) flag down a taxi and it should cost around $1.50. Just make sure that you let the taxi driver know you want the hostel... More

This place has just about everything you need. Friendly staff, breakfast is included, a rooftop terrace with a pool table and hammocks, a communal fireplace, laundry service, etc., etc. The rooms are quite basic, but clean. The only issue with our room was that we heard dogs barking non-stop throughout the night from the adjacent building. This hostel is in... More

The family that runs this small hotel makes you feel right at home. They are very helpful in providing ideas of things to do that are off-the-beaten path a bit and run a very laid back place. The rooms are simple, but clean and there is a nice roof deck where you can relax. If you spend a lot of... More

We paid for an double room with private bathroom 13 dollers pr. person. The hostel has a nice fireplace where you can relax in... More

Otavalo itself is a touristic non-budget place so this hostel was the same price than others in the area. It was clean, the rooms were big enough and the common area with a fireplace was the best. One thing I didn't like is that you only have one bunch of wood for the fireplace which ends quickly and then if... More

This place was ok, but after 1 night we decided to look at other options and ended up moving to other lodging in the same town. Our room felt like a cheap motel room, and the bed was uncomfortable. The window opened up to a walkway, and the curtain didn't cover the window, so there wasn't much privacy. The bathroom... More

We´ve stayed there for 3 nights and liked it a lot. You get a warm welcoming feeling when entering from the street and the room was also very nice. WE liked the relaxded atmosphere and the really nice owners who helped us planning our trip in the area. Recommended!!!

Very nice american-local run Hostel. Good breakfast, clean basic rooms with hot water all the time and a beautiful rooftop terrace and a wonderful small room with a fireplace. Otavalo is not big, so everything ist in close walking distance. @Rincon: Thanks for your hospitality!

This hostel is located within easy 5-min walk from the bus station - don't be misled by maps which indicates 3 blocks away. It is in fact so accessible to everywhere. The hostel itself has such a cozy & homey atmosphere, very clean, & plenty of hot water. The staff although not very fluent in English, made up by their... More
