Liked: The guy on at reception was very friendly and helpful and spoke perfect English which was useful as I'd only just arrived in south America. He explained all about how hostels work as this was my first one. I made friends straight away and really enjoyed my one night there.

Disliked: loud music until quite late at night and being a female put in a dorm with all males, but I guess that's just what you sign up for when backpacking on a shoe string.

Liked: I liked how helpful and accommodating the staff were. The breakfast was good, internet was fast, and plenty of space to chill out.

Disliked: Room outside the office is loud all night and morning, so not the best room they have. Also, reservations kept changing from one room to the next, sometimes not even with my friend, but all got sorted in the end.

Liked: Close to a few main places in Quito.

Disliked: It was a bit run down, and the staff weren't too friendly. The room smelt of overpowering petrol or gasoline.

Liked: The house is big and has lots of character; nice high ceilings. Our double room was a pretty good size. The log fire downstairs is cosy and there were games and books available to guests. Wi-fi connection was really fast and reliable. The location is great for all the best bars (Finn McCool's is right opposite) and clubs, just a 2 minute walk from the main square and loads of restaurants nearby.

Disliked: Breakfast wasn't great and the kitchen looked like it needed a good spring clean. Didn't really want to cook there. The incessant music from the bar would annoy you if you wanted to sleep (it's on from about midday through to the early hours). They could probably do with turning it down a teensy bit, especially since it was just staff members rather than guests in the bar most of the day.

Liked: The price and the helpfullness of the staff. The main thing we didn't like was that the party down stairs didn't stop until about 6 AM! So if your looking for a party this is your hostel. If you looking for a quiet night sleep look elsewhere.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
