Liked: It had one of the most friendly atmospheres that I had encountered in a hostel in a while - the staff were very welcoming, and the layout makes it very easy to chat with other guests. The beds were a little too comfortable, though - I had to work hard to think of a reason to get out in the morning!
Disliked: Rhys left no negative feedback.

Liked: Good atmosphere, clean, comfortable, nice dorms and bathrooms, easy to get to old town sites and a quick bus ride to Mariscal. This is a great hostel if you don't want to stay in the heart of Gringolandia.
Disliked: The owner is not super warm but I also can't say anything more negative than that as he was very helpful and gave me good advice about all things Quito.

Liked: Good hostel if you are looking for a slightly quieter experience in Quito. Lots of showers, good public areas and good size rooms. Located within walking distance (20mins) or short taxi to the main sites in the city - local shops and restaurants within a few mins. Local map offered on arrival useful. Friendly and helpful owner.
Disliked: There is no breakfast offered (however, not a problem if you go to a local bakery).

Liked: This is an awesome, homely, well-run hostel and the staff are incredibly helpful. Matt and Jonny went out or their way to give us directions / recommendations / advice / and make phonecalls to the airport to try to reclaim our lost luggage. Because the hostel is small, it is very sociable, with a great bar and common room area with stacks of DVDs.
Disliked: Nothing - it was great.

Liked: A Lovely Hostel in the old part of Quito, with very pleasant and helpful staff, both English and Spanish speaking they know a lot about Quito and the surrounding areas and were able to tell me what to do and what not to do. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms very clean. The bar is great and the atmosphere is very homely. The Kitchen facilities were very good and the TV and DVD room was comfortable with a huge selection of DVDs to pick from. I would recommend this hostel to all my freinds.

Liked: been to quito 3 or 4 times already and i always stay here because the owner is a cool guy and i like the location. it's in the old town, so its a nice place to walk around. it's not one of those big mega-hostels where you get lost. it's like a home away form home.

Liked: Hostel Revolution is that rare breed of places: relaxed ambiance, friendly management, ideal location. Too many hostels are in business solely to make money or to pander to the party crowd. This place is as real, relaxed, and fun as they get.
Disliked: There isn't one negative thing I can say.
