Identification of who staff was and where they could be found would’ve been quite helpful. For example, when we went upstairs for breakfast, nobody was there, even though it was during the time that breakfast was supposed to be served. We walked all around the hotel, looking for the staff and could not find it. When we went upstairs, another time I did find The young man who had let us in the night before, and he prepared a good breakfast for us.

Everything was fine. It was just a little confusing to find out who was in charge and where they were. Once those issues were taken care of, breakfast was good and the staff helpful.

The building is a little old but it’s definitely worth it for what I paid.

The terrace top is great. The view is beautiful.

Bad isolation, from the noise and from the cold

Close to historical center.

Very loud at night. Our room was next to the road and both nights we stayed we hardly slept, lots of music, screaming and dogs barking, cars beeping and racing up and down. They gave us foam ear plugs when we mentioned the issue so it must be common. The stairs are also very loud and noisy when people walk up and down. No hot water for both days we stayed which was also an issue.

Nice included breakfast each day, bed was comfortable. Showing the football on the roof terrace.

It can be a bit noisy at night (dogs, motorcycles, people, etc.)

The Staff was amazing, from volunteers like Luciano to Kevin (who does the free-walking tour) to the owners as well. The pizza is tasty. The location is nearby cheap eats (try the restaurant desayuno y almuerzo for a true ecuadorian experience) or also pizzeria boschetti (entertaining cook and good pizza), live music/brewery (la oficina), the cathedral, and outings can be organized (would recommend the secret garden cotopaxi or going to Cuyabeno, in the amazon). Really nice view. Enjoy.

The building needed some maintenance. The windows in our room wouldn't close properly and had duct tape in place to help seal them. And hot water was really only warm at best. There was no filtered water available for guests, just bottles that you could buy in the restaurant. We asked and the staff told us that the tap water was safe to drink. We didn't try it because we had heard so many people warn against drinking the tap water. Every other place that we stayed in Ecuador provided filtered or bottled water free for guests. I'd suggest bringing a water filter (we used a Sawyer Squeeze that we use when backpacking). We also never felt especially safe in the neighborhood. Of course that's not the fault of the hostel, but we'll probably stay in a different neighborhood if we return to Quito.

Vibes has a very friendly and helpful staff that we very much appreciated. The building is old but very pretty and our room was spacious. We enjoyed the rooftop deck and restaurant space and the dogs that live there were lots of fun. Overall the place had a chill vibe that we really enjoyed.

The walls are pretty thin so you can hear surrounding noise but it didn’t bother us.

The room is clean, comfortable and spacious. The common areas are lovely and the staff are friendly. The hostel is just across the main road from the historic centre. Some nice cheap restaurants around. Best shower we have had in a while!

Quite a bit noisy in the morning and evening hours which is to be expected given central location. We didn't like the coffee included in breakfast but I suppose you get what you pay for- great value for money.

We stayed here only for two nights and found the accomodation and common space lovely and clean. It is not as busy as the surrounding hostels which we really liked. The breakfast was of a great standard and vast majority of employees super attentive and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Noisy room- from the road outside but also the stairs inside the hostel. Door had glass and light curtains with pink light coming in all night. Didn’t find the bed comfortable. Bathroom was dirty.

We arrived pretty late and left the next morning. The staff were super responsive when agreeing a late check in time. It was convenient location after returning from an Amazon trip on the tourist bus. Breakfast on the rooftop was good.

It’s cold in the night. Hot water isn’t available though it is a bit warm. Alcohol is not allowed to bring from outside.

Breakfast is available, and also good. Staff are very friendly. It’s near the good local restaurants. It’s calm.

The neighborhood wasn't great. It was also under construction but it had a lot of abandoned-looking buildings covered with graffiti. The clerks advised not to go outside alone at night. I think this area is undergoing a redo and it will be great in a year or two.

I loved the old house that this hostel came from. There were cute wooden stairways, the floors were all wood. The rooftop bar was great, as was the bartender, cook, and included breakfast.

Internet was bad Bed linen haven't been changed To many dogs (I've a dog in my home) ..where is the vibe?

I've been lucky been upgraded to a nice single clean room.

Stayed in April 2023

The hostel is pretty noisy. Bathrooms connected with other rooms and above the door in the room there was an open space, so you hear basically everything.

Good hostel with friendly staff. Nice breakfast for a good price and having dinner in the hostel for 6 dollars is also really nice. The hostel offers good tours and is located well. The rooftop has a nice view on the cathedral and the city.

This is more like a hostel than hotel, dust is everywhere water warm in the shower only not in a sink, although is sporty hit or miss staff is hard to find you have to call or message to get in touch on the pictures looks reasonable but in reality is totally different. We where ask to pay cash because they “couldn’t process credit card at that time”

Breakfast was late, sandwich ice tea banana as a napkin we got pieces of toilet paper no coffee nothing warm to drink, next day was a coffee no milk nothing napkins and same sandwich

I booked very last minute but still received a booking confirmation from the property. When I arrived, there was no one there to let us in so we called the number on the door. The person who answered told us that the booking wasn’t confirmed and the email that I received was an automatic email and there was no one to let us in.

The property could do with a refurbishment, but it sounds as though the manager has plenty of ideas for the place.

Our ”deluxe double room with balcony” was huge! After staying in some tiny rooms in Colombia, it was a luxury to have such space. Manager. The manager was great. We initially booked two nights knowing we’d arrive late from Colombia and not wanting to have to check out the next day. We actually considered moving round the corner to another, very well known, hostel since there didn’t seem to be anybody else staying. However, after chatting to the manager for about an hour when we went to pay, we decided to stay for the next three nights before our Galápagos trip. He told us more about the political situation and how it had impacted bookings. Breakfast. Decent breakfast with tea, fruit juice, eggs and bread. Location. Great location less than a 10-minute walk to the main plaza. Nearest supermarket is around a five-minute walk away.

We booked this place specifically as we wanted a double room and because it included breakfast. The room we booked wasn't available and the staff weren't exactly helpful or understanding about our frustration. We had to leave early so triple confirmed the breakfast times, but when we got there in the morning were told breakfast was opening late that day. Despite reception saying it opened at 7am, there was no one to be found to voice our frustration too or even check out with. We messaged them several times on several platforms and they didn't respond.

The beds were comfy and the location was great

Breakfast was good but they don't serve exactly 8 am as they mentioned. It was served at 8:30 am. We had to go for tour and requested if they can serve by 8 am something like juice or coffee but they did not. It was not convenient. All the rooms are roadside. Extreme noise till later in the night. Difficult to sleep.

Location is good. Rooftop view is good
