Guest reviews for Hostal the backpackers
"Comfortable, clean rooms hosted by a lovely family. Fantastic dinner! Wish I could have stayed longer."
"No complaints."
"We stayed here during our Quilatoa loop hike and it was a perfect place to stay! The room was comfortable and clean. It was very quiet as we were the only guests at the time. The best part was getting to know the hosts Maria and Walter whose families are from the community. They are such lovely, kind people and the dinner and breakfast were delicious. Highly recommend!"
"Aucun."
"Family running hotel was so kind and accommodating. Great location"
"Aucun."
"The hosts make the place. Without them there's nothing much to it, but they are so sweet and treat you like family. They sat with us for dinner, even though they didn't eat, just to chat. My diet is restricted and they lovingly catered my meals according to what I could and could not eat."
"The room was a bit cold at night (temperature-wise), the shower did not have hot water, and the wifi signal was very weak. The ad said they had a restaurant that served African food, which was what made me choose it, but apparently booking.com made a mistake and it was supposed to say American food.. (But to give you an.Idea how sweet the host is, when the woman found out that i was expecting African food, she went on google to look up recipes for african food to make me, which I told her not to bother doing, but still.)"
"Perfect for budget travellers. The family is extremely nice and friendly!"
"Aucun."
"Walter and Narcisa were so kind to us! It felt more like a home stay than a hostal. They even arranged a special breakfast for my husbands birthday! I would absolutely recommend this hostal to anyone! The shower was hot, the beds were comfortable, and the food was delicious. There is also a lovely patio space upstairs."
"Aucun."
"Maria and Walter were the kindest hosts you could ask for. They did everything within their power to make you feel welcome and comfortable. If you have specific wishes for breakfast or dinner, they will see to it that your wishes are met. On top of that, it was delicious! The room was basic, but great value for your money. There is a rooftop terrace (under construction), with a nice view over the city. Additionally they have a shop in which you can buy pretty much anything."
"Aucun."
"The name might be a little misleading, you are the personal guest of a local family, which will give you a warm welcome and let you have more comfort than they afford themselves. At the family table next to a warm stove I got a wonderful dinner and breakfast with mostly homegrown vegetables from their own fields. Rooms are simple, but clean, have a comfortable matress, very warm sheets and there's a hot shower. It is an honor to be a guest here!"
"Aucun."
"The hosts Walter and Maria may be the nicest people in Ecuador. They are so lovely, hardworking, friendly, and helpful. The location is great, just off the trail to Quilotoa so you only need to start walking down hill in the morning. The hostel is very quiet. The food is good with nice big portion sizes. Definitely a good place to stay on the hike!"
"Aucun."
"Host is amazing! Super friendly and does everything to help you! Much appreciated. Dinner and breakfast are super. So, would recommend this place if you decide to stay in this town."
"Nothing."
