Hostel Revolution

Welcome! ‘Bienvenidos’ to Hostel Revolution - a friendly, small, cosy Backpacker hostel in the Historical part of Quito. Created by Backpackers for Backpackers.

Hotel Revolution is in a colonial type house with wooden floors and decorative plaster ceilings. We have a rooftop terrace with great views, ample clean & modern bathrooms and common area/bar.

HR is also the home of Matt and Maria, an Australian / Ecuadorian couple and their small dog, Shakira.

HR is not a rowdy party hostel but a small capacity (18 people), chilled hostel for people of all ages, which provides a comfortable base to visit the historical centre.

We have a comfortable TV lounge with 100s of DVDs, Rooftop terrace with great view, fully equipped kitchen, maps and information, free internet and wi-fi throughout the house, and non smoking indoor environment.
