Pros:


I DO NOT recommend staying at Socialtel Quito. When I arrived, the staff informed me that the hotel would soon be without power. The place felt like a ghost town—nearly empty, with only a few staff members around. None of the listed facilities were available, and breakfast was not offered, despite being advertised.

It was clear the hotel is in the process of closing, yet they are still accepting reservations without warning guests about the situation. The uncertainty and lack of security made me feel unsafe, and I decided to leave after just one night.

Travelers deserve transparency and basic services. This experience was disappointing and stressful. I hope others are warned before booking here.

Amazing experience for the value!
Pros:

I stayed here for my last day in Ecuador and it was just what I needed to relax before my travels home. It was so clean, comfy and modern. The bed was so comfortable and the hot shower was incredible. I had everything I needed. I got a delicious welcome drink that was included and snacked on some amazing empanadas from the restaurant. It was quiet and safe in the hotel. Everyone was friendly as well. This is one of the best hotels for the value I've experienced.

Cons:

Honestly nothing- it was really nice!

Very poor
Cons:

There was no wifi in the rooms.
There was a leak on the 5th floor for the whole duration of our stay. We informed the staff but they did nothing about it!
Really poor quality for a selina hostel.

Cons:

A Disappointing Stay at Selina Quito

I had high hopes for my stay at Selina Quito, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. During my travels, I stayed in much cheaper places that provided better comfort of any kind—hot water, soap, reliable Wi-Fi, and tranquility—which were noticeably missing here.

The room felt outdated, and the view was underwhelming, overlooking the building across the street. For the price, which I found to be ridiculous, I expected a far more comfortable and enjoyable experience.

While Selina Quito may appeal to some, I would recommend looking elsewhere if you’re seeking better value for your money and a more comfortable, well-equipped stay.
