A delightful place in the heart of Otavalo; probably the best place in town. The owners have created a charming environment that is run with a European sensibility about service. They speak English (Spanish and Dutch as well) and provide great information about anything you would need in the area. They have the best showers in Ecuador, and the place... More

Beautiful hostel (12 rooms plus small apartment), good rooms (beware doubles, as often in Ecuador, extremely small), great location (near the main square, short walk to the market/Plaza de Ponchos), vriendly staff and excellent restaurant (though our experience was to avoid the cocktails - only tried once but 6 people, none good). Beer (most expensive we've seen in four months... More

Neat and confortable hostal, well situated. Breakfast not included, but good ones served at the restaurant downstairs. Good value for money. We enjoyed our stay, I recommend it. Beautiful view from the roof!

Cons: Very loud on the night before market (not totally the hotels problem, but still). Small rooms. Sheets were very thin and worn (but clean). I have seen a number of reviewers that noted their rooms were very cold. That was not my experience and... More

Hostal Dona Esther is recommended by International Living magazine and yes, it looks delightful and is in a good location. However, the rooms were FREEZING (in April) and the blankets were inadequate and as heavy as horse blankets (in a region which has an alpaca industry). When we asked for the fire in the lounge to be lit, we were... More

Nice quiet and cosy hotel with good food and neat rooms in the middle of town. Close to everything
