rooms weren't fancy, but had everything we needed; staff helpful and very friendly; ideal location for the city centre

The hostel is a great location to visit the sites of Quito as it is close walk to everything in the historic town. The hostel is also very close to the main Metrobus station so you can easily visit the rest of the city. The hostel seems to be family run and the mother & daughter were both very friendly... More

We liked this place so much we stayed there on 3 separate occasions, returning after each little adventure around Ecuador. They main plus is how friendly the owners are. They really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and to help you out when you're a bit lost, as we often were! The rooms are very clean,with... More

Although one can choose from literally hundreds of places to stay - Hostal Quito Cultural offers visitors a home away from home! The owner, Alicia Vega and her daughter Jessica offer travelers accomodations at very reasonable rates right in the heart of Colonial Old Town, Quito. All the magnificant churches are within walking distance as well as the Virgin atop... More

They went above and beyond to make our stay fabulous including making dinner reservations for us, staying up super late so we could go dancing, allowing our large group to keep our belongings there while...

From the moment we met Alicia, we felt at home. Our room was very comfortable and clean with a refreshing shower. During our delicious breakfast, we met a friendly traveler from Australia. Then we walked two block to La Plaza Grande where the President was waving to the crowd. After the celebration, we took the hop on and off bus... More

I´ve stayed here on two different occasions. After a long bus trip I arrived late and there were not any restaurants open. The owner of the hotel was nice enough to make me a small dinner with tea and juice at 11pm. The rooms and beds are very clean, there is also hot water and nice showers. The staff is... More

GOOD POINTS: Location, safety, adequate breakfast, though probably small for a man, airport pick up service, brought my luggage up and down the stairs, a very good shower with plenty of hot water, which is not frequent in Ecuador. Location is unbeatable - 2 blocks from the Presidential Palace- Independence Square. Given that the location, though beautiful, is not particularly... More
