Fantastic stay! Highly recommend!
Pros:

Hostel was exactly what we needed after a long day of hiking. Clarita was a super host and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was really clean and cozy. Breakfast and dinners part of the booking were delicious! Highly recommend staying here

Cons:

We did arrived on a very windy day and the town had lost power, but thankfully the showers were all gas fired, so we could still have hot showers. Power came back on at night.

Une pause toute douce sur la Quilotoa Loop !
Pros:

Un très joli moment sur notre trek jusqu’à la Laguna Quilotoa, toute la famille est tellement accueillante et chaleureuse ! Le logement est super confortable et calme, parfait pour se reposer après et avant une journée de randonnée. Nous avons aussi super bien mangé (avec du banana bread à volonté lors de notre passage) ! Rien à dire, c’était parfait.

Pros:

The owners were very welcoming and friendly. The communal area is very cosy especially because they have a fireplace which warms you up on a chilly night. The food and also the free banana bread were amazing. We would definitely recommend this accommodation.

A perfect place to stop by on the Quilotoa Loop
Pros:

A wonderful place to arrive after a day’s walking. A warm welcome, the best food we had on the loop and free tea, coffee and fresh banana bread! There was a nice communal space to sit and chat to fellow hikers. The room was comfortable with an excellent hot shower- there were two beds in our room and one was much comfier than the other, so it was nice to have the choice!

Cons:

Nothing
