So amazing! Wish we stayed an extra day!
Pros:

This little hotel is just so amazing! Amazing food, people, and rooms! Also super affordable drinks! Doña Clarita’s free banana bread was 10/10! Thank you to Estefi, Doña Clarita, John, Theresa (cat), and Carolina (dog) for such amazing hospitality!

Our favorite stay in Ecuador!
Pros:

Over our 3-day trek, in which we stayed at 3 different hostels, this was our favorite! We arrived tired after a second day of hiking, with one of our party dealing the effects of a hot hike in high mountains (over 10000 feet - or 3200m - a big change from sea level where we live!). The team at the Hostal was kind and attentive, making coco tea, providing delicious snacks, and making sure we were all hydrated. The rooms were wonderful and dinner was exceptional. As with most hostals on this trek, it was served family style at a long table, allowing all the guests to interact, share stories, and get to know each other. The rooms were quiet and comfortable, with a hot shower that felt simply wonderful at the end of a long day of hiking. We'll definitely stay there again!

Warm regards to Stefania, Karolcia, and Teresa. Maybe we’ll meet again someday. 😊
Pros:

Wonderful service. Stefania was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, everything was very clean, and the place where you can warm up by the fireplace and enjoy a hot tea or a glass of wine 😉 is fantastic.

Cons:

I can’t find anything to complain about. They even allowed us to choose the room we wanted to stay in.

Pros:

L'accueil de la famille, la propreté. Les salles de bain sont récentes et l'eau chaude après la randonnée est un vrai plus. Ils font un feu de cheminée dans l'espace commun et on peut y sécher ses chaussures. Je recommande.

Pros:

Carlita et sa famille était tout simplement adorables. Nous étions en demi pension et le repas était délicieux, on a pu se réchauffer au coin du feu. Café et petits gâteaux maison à volonté. Ils nous ont aidé à organiser une petite balade à cheval super avec notre petite fille de 4 ans. On a aussi fait la rando Chugchilan-Quilotoa et Carlita nous a fait un petit pic nic à embarquer qui était parfait. Notre seul regret est de n’être rester que 2 nuits !

Parfait pour se ressourcer au calme
Pros:

Auberge très paisible et chaleureuse à la sortie de Chugchilan. Parfait pour faire des randonnées aux alentours, à la lagune de Quilotoa ou pour s’arrêter sur la loop. Les repas sont excellents (soupe + plat chaud + dessert), le dortoir très confortable avec plein de couvertures pour se tenir chaud, et douche chaude également.

Cons:

Rien !
