they have tours and city stuff posted every where in the hostel which was really helpful. they have and average breakfast but if you want more options they have a big menu ($2-4) with lots of great things on it. monday, wednesday and friday is free rum and coke night!! a free tub of really strong rum and coke for everybody to drink. the only thing that is bad about the hostel..well maybe its just the part of new town..its pretty dangerous outside and around the hostel. a few people were mugged and robbed when i was there so be careful around new town if you plan on staying there....otherwise the hostel is great!

The free 12 litres of rum and coke every Mon, Wed and Fri certainly makes El Centro del Mundo a sociable and easy place to meet other travellers. It is not conducive to learning Spanish but it is definitely cheap and cheerful!

This hostel is the best one we have stayed at in South America. There is a huge amount of information available to guests on things to do and see in Quito, around Quito and other parts of Ecuador. The staff are extremely helpful and the food is delicious. The owner is only too happy to help in any way he can to make your stay wonderful. We liked it so much we stayed another 3 nights. Highly highly recommended. Room 12 (double or triple) is lovely and cozy.

I really liked this hostel as it is a real backpackers' hotel, downtown Quito. We are well directed for the activities, it is a fun place and everything you need (information, alcohol, food, water, great people to meet) is there! Best hotel to go to!
