Great price for the amount of facilities and services provided! The walking tour was amazing, loved the free tea on the balcony, and it’s a backpacker hub so you’re bound to meet people if you want to 🙂
I didn’t have any problems, but a friend of a friend was raped here by one of the security guards. I don’t know the full story, so take this as third hand information, and I assume the hostel will deal with it, but the guy was still working there a few days later when I left. I normally wouldn’t publish this kind of thing, and I assume they’ll have the situation under control by the time you get there, but I wouldn’t get drunk with a security guard named David if I were you. All the other staff were amazing, btw.

Free trinking water
Clean room, comfortable bed
Warm water in the shower
Party hostel with no kitchen
Informationen via e-mail, not at check in
It smells like cigaretts everywhere even if there are a lot of 'no smoking' signs, no one cares
The burgers are disgusting
The in-house guests have to share a big dirty table in the restaurants, because the small table for two are just for the outside-guests
We don't understand the hype about this hostel.

El dasayuno, muy delicioso y las demás comidas buenas, bonita presentación. Buena atención. Las actividades extras, como el Walking tour, las clases de bachata, las happy hour, muy chevere.
No me gustó el cobro de una actividad que no pude asistir por quedarme dormida. Ok ustedes pagaban por ese servicio, pero deberían cobrar un impuesto pero no el valor total.

Die Lage, die Dachterrasse

Rooftopbar is ontzettend mooi.
De wijk is ook een prettige wijk, je bent zo in de oude stad. Het personeel is erg vriendelijk.
Beneden zit ook een kantoor die je kunnen helpen met activiteiten of taxi service.
De kamer is prima ingericht en fijne kussens!
De free walking tour door old town is echt een aanrader.
Je kan ook de hele dag gratis thee en water pakken, wat fijn is!
Elke avond is de rooftopbar vol, niet met mensen uit het hostel maar vaak mensen die daar komen eten. Erg jammer! Ook hoort het om 11.00 uur in de avond stil te zijn, dat is geen enkele avond gelukt. Ze noemen zich zelf geen party hostel maar zo voelde het soms wel.
Als ze daar meer op gaan letten, dan kan het alleen maar beter worden! Het is namelijk een mooi opgezet hostel!

La chambre est top et très bien équipé. Le rooftop est très sympa également.

Nicely decorated and cozy with great rooftop and great value for money. Inhouse touroperator top, laundry service also in house - and just nice staff
Double rooms could be cleaned every second day without asking.
4.3
excellent rooftop area, restaurant was great with a great drinks selection which was well priced. facilities were clean and tidy and staff where really helpful
nothing really i can think off.
4.3
Very competent staff, excellent communication, very organised.
Too big, too busy, too loud. Basically just not my cup of tea.
4.3
Freundliche Mitarbeiter, gutes Reisebüro, preiswertes Essen, günstiger Flughafentransfer (20€) da auch freundlicher Fahrer, Bäckerei/Restaurants in der Umgebung
Zum Zentrum muss man ca 15Min laufen, ist aber ok

In mijn 5 weekse reis door Ecuador ben ik in totaal 10 dagen in Secret Garden geweest. Na een week spaanselessen en acclimatiseren op hoogte. Kwam ik iedere keer toch weer terug. Dat zegt voldoende...
Het personeel is behulpzaam en vriendelijk onder andere Mario (receptie) en Miguel (mijn spaanse leraar), maar ook het barpersoneel, de rest van de medewerkers van de receptie, waarvan ik de namen niet weet, zorgde ervoor dat ik me snel thuisvoelde. Ook de dames van de wasserette o.a. Martha zorgde voor een goede service.
De kamers zijn netjes en schoon. Er zijn kluisjes in de kamers en de kamers waar ik heb geslapen waren ruim van stuk.
Het personeel helpt met alles en is zeer vriendelijk. Het is erg prettig dat er een travelagancy beneden zit. Zij helpen met verschillende tours en transfers.
Aanrader de fietstour en foodtour van Edwin!
Dagtrip otavalo en natuurlijk de cotopaxi secret garden.
Ligging in de straat zitten al enkele leuke restaurantjes en winkeltjes en om de hoek een gym.
Loopafstand van oude centrum en mooi uitzicht vanuit rooftop.
Brandalarm dat eerste week enkele keren afging.
Sommige kluisjes rammelen, waardoor zachtjes doen in de dorm wat moeilijker is.
Nadeel voor backpackers die langer reizen.
Geen ruimte om te koken. Voor mij niet van toepassing, maar wellicht we iets voor in de toekomst.

Excellent Hostel!

Meilleur hôtel de la ville de loin. Très bon rapport qualité prix, la vue sur Quito est imprenable le bar restaurant est bon et Mario est un super hôte.
4.3
Amazing! Loved it here loved the views and the bed was comfy. We had a private room the toilet was clean and when using the shared shower they were clean too.
The staff are questionable here… we stayed a few nights prior to this booking and ordered food and it took forever to come… had to go and remind them & when I went to remind them the staff were pouring rum and other sprites straight from the bottle into each others mouths and guests mouths. Weird. Food is good though. Rain burger is great.
4.3
Clean room and shared bathroom. Lovely view from terrace while having breakfast. Yummy avo toast. Staff super helpful re planning transport and activities and giving recommendations. Good location.
Booked a double bedroom for my husband and I, the room was a bit small with no where to put clothes. No facilities within the room. A bit noisy, you can hear guests upstairs and loud music until 11pm. Quite expensive compared to other accomodations around Ecuador.
4.3
Perfect experience! A lot of people but also a lot of private space! Party or live music till 11, but then it's quiet amd people have the option to go to a partybus. If you are in a room/dorm on the first level you don't hear any noise! Great food and very good prices and happy hours. Perfect mix of meeting new people and have a relaxed time.

I loved the view from the roof.
They advertise the rooftop restaurant, then reserve all the tables along the edge of the balcony every night for non-hostel guests...that felt like a disingenuous surprise.
4.3
Ótima opção de hospedagem no centro da cidade. O hostal oferece de tudo pago à parte, desde café da manhã até roupa lavada. Boa estrutura.
4.3
- sehr schönes Hostel mit guter Ausstattung und sehr gutem Flair
- es ist leicht, Leute kennenzulernen
- es gibt jeden Tag 10:00 eine Free Walking Tour und 9:00 & 14:15 eine Tour zu Mitad del Mundo (unbedingt anschauen, sehr interessant)
4.3
Great central location. Private room. Provided drinking water. Nice on -premises restaurant
4.3
Hôtel bien situé, jolie chambre, belle terrasse sur le toit. Nuit très calme.
Promiscuité d’une auberge de jeunesse avec beaucoup de va-et-vient. Réception au dernier étage. Personnel peu attentionné et peu attentif (erreur dans la réservation du taxi). Chambre petite, dans mobilier. Toutes les fenêtres donnent sur l’escalier central, qui est à ciel ouvert. Restaurant sur le toit, exposé à tous vents, froid le soir, avec mauvais service.
4.3
I stayed here again a couple of night before I flew home. Like my first review, I like it because it's centrally located. The room I got this time was at the ground level so it's quieter. The bartender made the best cocktail.
The staff weren't focused when I was checking out which wasn't a big deal, probably because they partied too much the night before. :)
4.3
Centrally located, walking distance to most sights, the beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms (there are plenty) are clean. The view of the city and hills from the roof top is great. It's convenient having their tour agency at the lobby. The walking tour is very informative, and the party bus is a bonus if you like to party!
The stairs but it's really not a big deal! ;)
4.3
Super Lokation und viele Angebote für Backpacker
Super günstige Bar und Restaurant mit Zimmer 50% off
Wunderschöne Dachterrasse

Langsam im Restaurant
Muffiger Geruch in einigen Zimmern

the view, the location, the atmosphere, the staff were very helpful and how clean it was in my stay.
couldn’t bring my own drinks at the rooftop
4.3
Hostel excelente e com uma agência de turismo ótima no primeiro piso. Estrutura e comida são excelentes também.
Nada a reclamar.
4.3
Super social, the travel agents are amazing and you can sort you whole itinerary with them!
No warm place to relax in the evening, all the social areas are outdoors. If it’s cold you just have to go to bed
4.3
Super easy to book tours with them, the tour desk opens from 7am and closes at 11pm. All prices are reasonable and some even lower than tour operators. Highly reliable
Nothing really.. if I really have to complain, it’s the party until 11pm if u want to sleep earlier
4.3
Me gustó las áreas comunes como las dos Terrazas que tiene en las que se puede sociabilizar y conocer otros viajeros. También cada cama dispone de toma corrientes y lámpara. Las instalaciones son modernas y limpias. El personal es amable y realizan varias actividades para integrar a sus usuarios.
Que los costos de bebidas y comida son bastante elevados. Y que el área del recepción está en el último piso y no en el primero.
4.3
Fijne kamer, die tevens schoon was. Goede prijs voor wat je kreeg. Pluspunt is het restaurant en de services die het hotel levert. Je kunt van allerlei tourtjes en tochtjes boeken. Er werd ook goed advies gegeven over welke wijken wel en niet te komen i.v.m. de veiligheid. In het restaurant krijg je ruim korting als je daar gast bent. Het eten is top.
Het is wel echt een jongeren hotel waar mensen continue in en uit lopen. Er wordt wel op het geluid gelet (na 23.00 uur muziek van het restaurant uit bijvoorbeeld), maar het is toch wel een klein beetje rumoerig. Maar met oordopjes makkelijk op te lossen! De kamer was klein en had geen ramen.
4.3
La chambre à un lit trop petit, il n'y a pas un seul endroit où on peut accrocher les vêtements ou les ranger. Prix : 37 €. Le restaurant très cher(plus cher que les autres auberges ou j'ai séjourné, même Galapagos....). Pendant check out (j'ai réglé mon séjour à l'aveil) ils ont voulu me chargé de 29,75. J'étais vraiment surprise. Après vérification de contenu de commande, il s'avère que mon l'addition est égal 9,53 €. Je trouve ça bizzard. L'ambiance est agréable mais l'odeur dans les toilettes insupportable. Et quand on paye 37€ on peut espérer un salle de bain privatif....
Tous les remarques en haut !
4.3
Loved absolutely everything. The walking tour was good. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The showers were piping hot. The bar and breakfast were Stella. They even had two little puppies which was lovely because I was missing mine so much. Would definitely stay again. Felt very safe.
4.3
The rooftop is an absolute highlight and the hostel offers many activities for the guests. The food tour was amazing. After 11p.m. it got quieter which was nice. Guests have a discount at the bar/restaurant which makes the prices ok. If you are looking for party, this is your place but it wasn't my type of hostel and I will go elsewhere next time. But neverthrless the beds are confortable, the hostel is very clean and it is nice to watch the cirty from thr rooftop.
I didn't feel very welcomed as the staff didn't really care to explain to me what the hostel offers. I found out eventually by talking to other guests. Only the bottom beds have curtains. There are not many common areas to chill, no kitchen and the restaurant doesn't offer local cuisine. The hostel is very big and it felt like it doesn't need to make an effort anymore as guests are coming anyways.
4.3
Uitzicht bij de bar.
Check in vanaf 12:00 werd 15:30 en stond dat check out tot 00:00 mogelijk was maar dit was niet het geval. Personeel niet echt vriendelijk en spreken niet goed Engels waardoor vaak alles langzaam ging voor andere die geen Spaans spreken. Kamers klein en gehorig. Geen raam. Foto’s van wat je boekt klopt niet met wat je krijgt.
4.3
The hostel is super social and really safe. They have activities running all the time and have a shuttle service to Cotopaxi so you can easily go between the two places.
All the staff were lovely and helpful, especially Miguel when I first arrived and Ale, who gave me some recommendations for my next stop Peru. Both also spoke amazing English which is great if your Spanish isn’t the best and both were happy to help with me practicing my Spanish.
Overall amazing hostel with great staff!

Good location. Rooftop bar is cool with good food. I would recommend if staying in Quito.
4.3
Good facilities, very cheap and comfortable rooms. Daily walking tours are anice way to meet some people. Great view from the rooftop bar
The rooftop bar/restaurant was on the expensive side, but also good quality.
