Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location and decent rooms. Request room 306 (the one in their pics with the sea view) if you want a nice view ✌🏼 Beds and pillows are clean and comfortable. Included breakfast is fine and has nice views on terrace. WiFi is good in communal areas and also in our first room.

    The staff were super friendly and helpful. One lady walked us a couple blocks to show us where to eat. And the restaurant was cheap and excellent. The outside was beautiful. My kids enjoyed the pool. The price was very good. Breakfast was good. AC was awesome.

    Centrally located Chescos might be the best low budget hotel on the entire southwest coast of Ecuador. The room was spacious enough, the shower had hot water and the staff was friendly. The A/C worked like a charm. The location was superb, right next to the beach.

    It was such a surprise to find this spotless and very pleasant hostel, just a short walk from the malecon. Everyone working there was very kind, there was lots of lounging space and my well-cared for room felt brand new (very unusual for such a good price!). The WIFI was great for digital working and I had a perfectly peaceful night's sleep. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Salinas.
