Hostal Sanblas

Hostal San Blas is in a great location, and the price is "right."  What's not right?  Well, when we arrived at 5pm after a long day of travel, we were told the Hostal was "closed" for renovation(!)  "Didn't we get the message from Expedia?"  No.  We didn't.  We could stay, if we didn't mind jackhammering from 8am until day's end.  What could we do?  We planned to sightsee the next morning, so figured the sound during the day wouldn't be an issue.  We could stay one night.  Our room was clean, but no heat - it's cold in the Andes in December.  We kept warm under blankets.  Also there's no fresh air in the room, or AC, or a fan.  The only window opened directly out into the hallway, and there were no screens.  The internet, spotty at best, was turned off from evening until late morning when the "host's" daughter arrived to make breakfast: instant coffee and a croissant with eggs.   The food was pleasant.  There's also no potable water - "Only water to buy," in plastic bottles.  It worked for a night, but we were charged two night's taxes because apparently the Hostal had to pay them to Expedia, so expected us to cover it, even though they were technically "closed" and we were not notified in advance.  A small price to pay for the convenience of not trying to find an alternate place at 5PM in a big City.  We slept well.

It's hard to not like Hostal San Blas...

Very basic accommodation. The room was damp and not ventilated. Stayed 3 nights, not even basic housekeeping during that time. Pleasant hosts. Be sure to frequent the amazing cafe 'Jumandi' just across the plaza, for coffee, drinks, or great food.

Great Location

9 day stay between the old town and La Mariscal.  Family operated. A bit English challenged so a little Spanish will go a long way.  Easy to locate, right on Plaza San Blas and next to Iglesia San Blas.  Great value for price.

Hostal San Blas

Staff was very friendly, great breakfast. Beautiful views of church spires at night.

Small room and sponge mattress made it very hard and could not sleep, turn, turn and turned all night long. woke up soar all over.

You get what you pay.

Booked for 2 nights and stayed for 4. The window faces in not a issue for me. For value its a great deal and great eggs in the morning. Close to bus and old town

Would stay again

This hotel offers very BASIC accommodations but the price is extremely reasonable, staff friendly and helpful, and location fantastic--just a few blocks from the heart of colonial Quito. Also, hotel is quite charming. I spent 5 nights here and was able to do a lot of sightseeing with a safe place to sleep.

There was construction, it had been ongoing for a week, we werent advised until arrival. This meant loud noise from 8 am until 6 pm, and no water. We arrived at 3pm and had to wait to be checked in and enter our room. The staff are unfriendly and unhelpful. When I advised them we had no water, there was no apology or anything.I wouldnt stay here again. Very disappointing.

Disappointing stay

Excellent value for the price - owners in attendance so there is personal touch but no english but we get by. Owner took the trouble to wake up at 5 AM to put me in taxi which was nice. There is hot water in the room but none in the early hours of the morning when I left. I suppose this is to save electricity and it is understandable but would have been nice to have some notice that there will be no hot water. Apart from that, I would recommend this place.

Good value for the price

Excellent location reasonable walking distance to old town sights, on good roadway for access to taxis and buses.
