Flying Donkey Hostal - Hostel

Otavalo

I’d rate this 4 starts for a hostel. Very basic amenities, though the rooftop terrace with the white rabbit hopping around was a treasure and the decor was funky fun. Rooms clean enough, shower mostly had hot water. Lady at front desk very friendly and helpful. Pretty close to the market.

Fun, friendly place for budget travelers

The staff is always available to help, the boss is super nice, the common kitchen is clean and well equipped, the rooms are very clean. The hostel is well located in Otavalo. The only negative point (and this is the only one!): the hot water is a bit whimsical. Other than that, everything is top. We highly recommend this hostel 😁

Nice place to stay in Otavalo

Great welcome, they're very present if you have any questions, looking for solutions... the kitchen is top and equipped! The rooms are large and clean. Lingerie service and folding in addition;) thank you Patricio, we pass very well in your hostel!

Very good!

This is a funky hostel, with a super fun vibe, comfortable rooms, and friendly staff. The rooftop common area has great views, and the bathrooms are exceptionally clean. The location is close to everything, and a short walk to tons of restaurants and the famous market.

Fun Hostel!

I didn't like the fact that the hostel had to pay me for the two nights by punching them directly into my account. Yes, I booked without a refundable price and I assume completely; however my nights were from October 5 to 7 during the anti-government protests...All roads were blocked in the country, I still paid a taxi to try and come and go (there were no buses running anymore); however, some places asked us to go halfway after 2 hours of driving! I sent a screenshot to the hostel to prove my innocence, but it was impossible! I had to pay for both nights an exception where I could not be present at my own fault, the two nights in the hostel were not given a bill!

I'm going to avoid it.

A good backpacker hostel with nice roof terrace where you can sit nice in the evening.

Market in Otavalo

Pros: cozy rooms, coffee and fruits provided in morning, dorm room available for groups, private room without bathroom for slightly more, also full rooms with private bathrooms suitable for couples or families, well-located in the city center, walkable, good restaurants/parks/cafes/market nearby, friendly staff, fully equipped kitchen

Cons: had some issue with hot water not working on occasion

Great European-style travelers hostel

We stayed one night without knowing anything about this hostel in advance—we had an issue with booking at another place and they brought us here. We got lucky! The bed was comfortable, the showers were hot with good water pressure, and though we did not use it, the kitchen and terrace were super nice. The location is good. We were on the front of the building and there is some noise, but that is to be expected on a weekend in the city. Towels and shampoo provided are a nice touch! 

Great value, fun vibe!

There are a lot of hostels in Otavalo. The flying donkey for us is the best. It is kept superclean, run by a very helpfull and lovely family. The beds are comfy, the showers powerfull and hot. The kitchen is well  equipped and kept very clean and organized. A big table in the kitchen to eat, socialize and play games.
 They serve coffee and fresh fruit every morning (complementary). 
The location is close to everything (big supermarket and fruit and vegetable market 2 blocks up, walking distance to the terminal and only a few blocks to the colourfull plaza de ponchos market.)
And all this for a good price (private room w own bathroom and towels for 20 dollars).

Very good affordable hostel

The water is not as hot as they say, but it can be:) The kitchen is very complete and the rooms are exactly the photos!
