The staff was very kind, even when we arrived late at night, the property is newly renovated, the beds, furniture, bathroom, shower and everything looks like new or renovated, there's a great painting at the entry, really beautiful and related to Ecuador. The breakfast was nice, filling and made with fresh food, the location was perfect to arrive or leave by bus, in front is the main road to Quito and a few blocks from there there's the main bus terminal with buses going to almost anywhere in Ecuador, the city centre is at a walkable distance, we went to the artisans market on Saturday, great experience, overall, very recommended place to stay. Great value for the money

Two nights stay in the town of Cotacachi during Inti Raymi was magnificent. The hostel, combined with a brewery, was our home from home, just seven minutes walk from the plaza. Comfortable, secure, with an outdoor common area to relax and enjoy the cats and dogs, and the beer. Our room was big with a very comfortable bed and a wonderful shower. Breakfast was excellent. We enjoyed many conversations with Roger and Melena, both so helpful. We should have stayed longer.

The bed was super comfortable and really beautiful crisp white cotton sheets The manager was really helpful and friendly, she booked appointments in town for me for beauty treatments, which I was super satisfied with, I felt I could turn to her for anything I needed and she’d get it done. I chose to spend my birthday here and had a room with a mountain view :) I unfortunately didn’t have the time to use the facilities, the spa or the jacuzzi in my room

All hostels in Otavalo

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Amazing stay at The Traveler Hostel. The staff were all lovely and super helpful, with information on what to do in and around Otavalo. Incredible kitchen facilities for cooking dinners, and a nice space next to reception to chill and watch a bit of Netflix if you fancy. Great location, being a 10 min walk from the town and also close to Waterfalls and bus stops for trips out to the surrounding area.

    Great location and staff are very helpful. Cheap laundry service. On the day of our departure a taxi was quickly arranged for us despite the chaos of the Saturday market. Overall a pleasant stay
