Colonial House Inn - Hostel

There seem to be many hostels in Quito Centro Historico, but if you would like to experience pure authentic hospitality and friendliness of Ecuador accompanied by a pleasant backpackers atmosphere, this is the place! Very authentic with a wonderful Ecuadorian owner and friendly personnel (English speaking if needed). The 5-person family room is very spacious, nicely decorated and with a good working hot shower. On top, the place has so many bonuses: a lovely garden with hammocks, 2 kitchens for use (including free filtered water, bananas, coffee, tea), a veranda with pool table and 2 cosy indoor seating areas, on-the same-day laundry service, lovely breakfast for 3,5 dollar and free luggage storage if you don’t want to take all your luggage to Galapagos or the Amazon. Moreover, they arranged good taxi’s for us to and from the airport and they stayed up all night to host us at 5 am when our bus from Cuyabeno had serious delays.
