Great stay!

Beautiful, huge hostel with its own on-site restaurant/bar. The food was superb. The rooms were large and very clean. Excellent location in the Historical District. Staff were very friendly and helpful. This place can definitely get loud so if you are looking for quiet it may not be the one for you.

Rustic vibe

Loved the hostel. Has the historic rustic vibe. Have daily events and walking tour on board schedule. In or around the old historic town. Not walking distance from your typical Holiday Inn and restaurants but closer to the typical Ecuadorian life style and food. Its like a maze inside the hostel with creaking wood floor.

Fantastic Respite in Old Town Quito!

I LOVED my room and it was very reasonably priced. Great location, beautiful building (hardwoods, traditional style), helpful staff and free activities such as a walking tour and coffee tasting! They also have a garden to relax in with a small bar and restaurant. Bliss! I was sad too my be staying 2 nights!

Huge studio room perfect for a family of 4. Common areas are clean with lots of options for activities. Location is perfect for wandering the historic district during the day with many restaurant options, including in the hostel, at night. Very comfortable beds and pillows. Being in an old building, the walls are pretty thin and the floors creak so if you are a light sleeper be sure to bring ear plugs

Nice place but noisy at night.

Location is in the inner city. Very noisy. But easy access to lots of restaurants/shopping. The hostel is clean and spacious with quaint nooks and social areas. High security. Staff is beyond amazing. Friendly & helpful. Enjoyed our stay there.

Beautiful place; way too noisy

The building is lovely; the location is not. Way too much street noise to be able to sleep. If you're interested in meeting kind & friendly staff & foreign travelers & staying in a beautiful historic building with a lovely courtyard at a very reasonable rate, this is the place for you. But if you need quiet to sleep, it is not.

Good value accommodation in great location

Lovely place, great vibe hostel with loads to do and nice spaces to relax and play games and socialise. Room was very large and comfortable and clean. Staff were friendly. Could refill water with filtered water for free. Our only small complaints were: 1) it says breakfast is included on hotels.com, but the hotel did not honour this and just said it wasn’t. 2) the room was quite cold with no heating option. 3) limited gluten free option for breakfast.

Inside of Viajero is lovely. They have a great courtyard, bar, restaurant, etc. My room was very spacious and comfortable. I had a great stay. I was the victim of an attempted mugging immediately outside of the hostel. It was 7:30pm on a Friday and I was about 10 steps away from the door when a man grabbed me and tried to take my phone. I fought him away but I strongly suspect I was targeted for having stayed at Viajero. I was not told to be cautious or warned at all when I checked in and from talking to other guests I think they really need to be doing that!

So, we were fully aware that Quito had power black outs. Our other accommodations told us times, patterns, things to be aware of so we were good. Staff here not so accommodating and they didn't say they had no generator. So 6pm came around and it was complete black out, not even in hallways etc. Had to go out for dinner by torch in not the most safe district. We're pretty confident and ok with the black outs, if we'd been told that the hostel had nothing.

Overall, this place has a lot of great qualities to it. It's a very clean, contemporary space with very inviting communal areas. I stayed in a private room and it was better than most hostels I've stayed at. The staff is very friendly and helpful in arranging day tours. I really appreciated the property's proximity to the metro station and La Ronda for food options. The biggest drawback to this place (and what would stop me from staying there again) is the bar area blasts music very loudly until 10:30 or so. This happened every night I stayed there. On one Saturday night, someone had rented out the venue to host a birthday party and the music didn't end until after midnight. I understand it's nice to have multiple uses/streams of income with the property, but I think there needs to be a better balance between an evening social space and a quiet living space for guests to stay.
