Pros: 14 dollars a night, property is locked/secure and staffed at all times (it is their house so one of them was always there), the landlords were incredible, they picked us up/dropped us off at airport or bus terminals, the breakfasts were great, the rooms were clean, internet worked great in our room (only place in two weeks where the...

Wish you could stay with family for a few days during your trip? Hostel Tambuca is pretty much as close as it gets. A stone's throw from La Mariscal, this hostel offers clean rooms, good kitchen and bathroom facilities and customer service that could only be improved by giving everyone pocket money. Not only did they arrange for our laundry... More

My experience with tambuca was awesome. Amazing breakfast everyday. Warm welcoming family. Very helpful and informative. Even helped us find a spanish school. We felt very safe and cared for in tambuca. If you are looking for a party scene then look else where, but the main tourist area is only 5 blocks away. I would stay here again.

Tambuca is a wonderful, small family-run hostel. It's the perfect place if you are looking for a warm welcome, help whenever you need it, a chance to meet other travelers, quiet nights, nice clean rooms, a hot breakfast, a well-supplied kitchen, hammocks in the front yard, and a chance to practice your spanish. It's the opposite of a party hostel.... More

My wife and I flew into Quito and needed a place to spend the night before our flight out in the morning. We found that Tambuca had great ratings and we were not disappointed. Carlos and his father (Carlos) met us at UIO and drove us back to their place. We had a small room and had to share the... More

Agree with all the reviews. Location, breakfast, room, as well as free internet use (speed was good enough). Carlos picked me up from the airport - felt badly as flight coming in was delayed. So, by the time I cleared immigration and customs it was past 1 am. But, he was there carrying a sign with my name. Felt great... More
