We loved our stay at the Galapagos Hostel! It was in a great area that was quiet during the day but had super fun night life! Great location close to central Quito but not too close! 10/10 would recommend

El trato de los dueƱos es excelente, siempre amables y presentes, nos dieron tips y consejos para movernos. Con excepciĆ³n de la seƱora que limpia y a veces hace el desayuno, muy descortĆ©s, grosera y gritona. Quitaba el agua caliente, cerraba los baƱos con llave y le habla mal a los huĆ©spedes. Felicidades a los dueƱos que gracias a su atenciĆ³n tuvimos dĆ­as maravillosos šŸ‘

Me tocĆ³ el cuarto que da al patio. Si abro la cortina todos pueden mirar adentro. De noche la lĆ”mpara de la calle alumbraba el cuarto. El ventilador en el baƱo estaba colgado. Hacia ruido pero no servia de nada. Un lampara sobre un mueble no estaba enchufada. Para enchufarla tenĆ­a que llevarla a una esquina en donde no servia.
