+ Fue un buen hostal bien ubicado

- En la aplicación salia un precio pero aún así me cobraron otro, argumentando que era el impuesto. Aunque le demostré que en la aplicación salía el precio además del impuesto nobles importo y cobraron lo que quisieron. Creó que fue un timo y me da mucha inseguridad que cobren algo diferente al precio que sale en Booking

+ The place has lots of character, the staff are super friendly and very very helpful. The place is located near all kinds of places with good cheap food and charm.

- There is trade off between quiete and being. Centrally located. I’m picky though because I would prefer living in the woods if I had my way.

+ My third visit there and never disappointed. Staff is very friendly and speaks enough English for me! Very helpful.

- Unfortunately, the hot water is an issue. I think they have a very old boiler and it takes some patience! Not a big deal, on vacation so I had all the time in the world. Just a little annoying when you’re in the middle of a shower And it turns cold. Lol.

+ L’emplacement est à 10min à pieds de la gare de bus, en plein centre d’Otavalo ce qui garantit une immersion totale dans la vie andine. L’hôte qui nous a accueilli était merveilleux, pleins de ressources et très sympathique (sorry on a oublié le prénom) ! Il saura vous conseiller et vous renseigner sur la culture régionale. De plus, nous avons pu profiter du festival El Yamor par hasard, de notre fenêtre !! Le lieu est très bien décoré et vous fera sentir à votre aise.

- L’eau chaude est parfois capricieuse notamment le soir.

I stayed here cos it was 10*. The receptionist was lovely so I don't want to leave a bad review, but I want to be helpful for future travellers. I found the dorm to be quite stuffy with no ventilation and a smell from the kitchen. The doorbell rang throughout the night waking me up, and the boiler was so loud it also kept me awake. Also the price doesn't include tax which seems to be more than at other hostels. Good things were location, hot shower, warm blankets, & light and power for each bed.
