    Music in the courtyard when trying to sleep. Pounding base gets old fast. Especially bad on Friday nights.

    Overall a fantastic value for a comfy bed in a beautiful location! Would certainly return.

    -The morning I decided to have breakfast at the hostel, it wasn't great at all (overly sweet yogurt drink, dry-ish crepe, watery coffee). Granted, others said it has been better on other days! -It would be nice to have hooks/cubbies in the dorm rooms to put clothes on (there are lockers, but in the room I was in, it was just an under-the-bed place to lock one's bag/valuables). -Our dorm lacked soap in the bathroom.

    -The beds in the dorms were extremely comfortable, I slept so well! Love how there are curtains for the bed for privacy and also outlets and lights by each bed. -The front-desk staff were really helpful and friendly. -There were interesting events/meet-ups offered by the hostel while I was there, including an informative and interesting City Tour, a class with a local Spanish teacher in order to learn Ecuadorian Spanish phrases, etc. -The location is great! -The building itself is beautiful and historic, with a lovely outdoor space.

    The food wasn’t amazing for the price, however breakfast was excellent. Also if you stay in a dorm by the road, be aware that the noise is very loud (of course this can’t be helped by the hostel)

    Loved the building itself. Beautiful decoration. The beds were comfy and private, with plug sockets and lights. The garden area was very pleasant to sit in. Also do the walking tour!!

    The entry doors are a bit flimsy. The building is very old and still has the original doors which is really cool, just used to more secure doors and locks. The property is secure and you have to get buzzed in though.

    This was my 2nd time staying at Viajero Hostel. The rooms are very spacious. The beds are comfortable, best shower I had in 22 days traveling through Ecuador! Breakfast is OK, and the staff helpful.

    Street noices were annoying cause the window should've been always open since there weren't AC in the room.

    Great location, pleasant and always helpfull stuff made our leisure in Quito just perfect. On top, the hostel is nicely designed that was wonderful addition to the atmosphere.

    Floors could do with a washing, not just swiping.

    This place is so beautiful. They have preserved and maintained the old hasienda wonderfully. The dorm beds are amazing - you have your own quite big "compartment" with room for luggage (and also a closet if you need it) and a curtain for privacy. It's just great.

    I would appreciate a Common Kitchen. The description in Booking still had the Common Kitchen as a shared space offered to the guests.

    There were activities for socializing. Queity is awesome. She is very friendly. This was my second time in Ecuador, and I stayed in Quito for a weekend to meet people and party. So it was a little challenging because there were not many guests, but I had a good time here in the end.

    The street close by is very busy and the neighborhood is apparently not the best. Both points are acceptable, though. The location (historic city center) is more important in my opinion.

    They have a dedicated person for coordinating the hostel activities and "breaking the ice" between newcomers. Katy connected a lot of people and we had a great time doing activities like salsa dancing or chocolate tasting. The beds are super comfy and you have your own space for privacy, also on the dorms.

    Unfortunately was unwell and asked for a private room as was in a dorm and asked to pay the difference for the night, but was told to pay full price which could not afford.

    Very safe, someone on the desk 24/7. Big social area and bar, great restaurant with $5 food deals every night, loved the garden space and the rooftop. Super comfortable bed in dorm, lots of space and bed bit bigger than a single.

    Everything was perfecto, staff always willing to help. They offer you the orientation needed in every posible way. The staff even helpef me to activate a local SIN card in order to hay Data outside the hotel location.

    The hotel is in an excellent location, becuase it is in the heart of Quito, so you are able to make several autoguide Tours.

    I happen to be acutely allergic to second hand cigarette smoke and couldn't seem to be able to get away from it at times. Smoking should not be permitted in the recreation room.

    I very much liked the open spaces. Good internet connection. Excellent location.

    Beautiful, nice, clean place, at a great location in Quito. Very nice staff that helped me with my travel plans. Good breakfast too! Some nights a bit quit, but Saturday night we had a lot of fun. Also had a very good cooking class, by the fun and great cook Fernando!

    The Hostel can create more events and use there social space more to connect travellers. It did feel like travellers could be helped to have more socials.

    I loved the whole vibe of the place. The coherent service from the staff. It felt like a family welcoming you home. And the staff knows exactly what's going on. The staff were always smiling and ready to be of assistance!

    Was quite disappointed with a staff members handling of a lost item. I had left down my purse in the common area and in a rush left the hostel without it, thankfully someone handed it into reception. I did not receive any sort of communication that my purse had been given to reception. Not a text or email (all of this info they had). In a panic I went to the reception only to be met with theatrics and a telling off from the receptionist. She had pretended she did not have the purse then as I was walking away in even more of a panic she gave it to me, bizarre! Travelling solo you’re already on edge you really don’t need someone taking the piss when you’re clearly distressed. She had also seen me come into the hostel 10 minutes prior with not a word about the purse. I found this very dodgy, if I had not gone to reception to see if my purse was there I’m wondering if I would have been notified that they had it!

    Enjoyed my stay here. There are plenty of places to relax and have some down time. The activities organised and hosted by Viajero are a great way to meet other backpackers. Location was decent with walking distance to most places. Good selection of food for $5, the pancakes at breakfast were 🔝 Most of the staff is lovely.
