Positive: Great location, only a few minutes walk from the historic center of Quito and 12 minutes walk from the San Francisco metro station. Check-in was easy and staff was friendly. I stayed in a dorm with 4 single beds and ensuite bathroom with toilet and shower. Only 1 bed was taken when I arrived and during my stay, so it was quiet. There's a kitchen where one can cook. There's a small shop next door to buy water, snacks, etc. The Mercado Central where one can buy fruit & veggies or eat breakfast or lunch is only 2 minutes away. To go to places like the teleférico or El panecillo from the hotel by taxi or uber, it's only about $5 on average. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Quito.

Positive: Everything you need for a good price. Soap, warm showers, towels provided, secured building, quiet rooms, shared kitchen. Great staff (Sarah was amazing give that girl a raise). Our flight wasn’t until midnight the day we checked out but they allowed us to store our bags for free and use the common space.
Negative: The kitchen could really use some more pots/ pans and dishes. You’re very limited in the kitchen

They upgraded me from dorms to a private, nice shower and helpful staff at the reception.
Negative:
Location is very close to the nice historic center but also to the market and a big bus station so can be a bit noisy and not super nice once it's dark

Positive:
It's immaculately clean, the family that run it are delightful, it's right next to the bus station, the kitchen was a great facility, it's spacious, there's a lovely courtyard with chairs to sit. The rooms at the back of the building (away from the road) are surprisingly quiet. Fully recommend staying here
Negative:
Access was via a doorbell, just to make anyone aware. It's not a problem as the family run up and down the stairs to let you in, it's just different.
