Otavalo's finest

The staff, Elena, Ivan and Patti are very friendly and helpful, providing information and arranging taxis, the breakfast was delicious and the room very clean and comfortable. Location is great, only 10 minutes walk from Plaza de Poncho and the bus station.

Auberge jolie et confortable

Belle auberge, moderne et très propre. La cuisine est les espaces communs sont très sympas. Le rooftop est très agréable. Notre chambre était jolie, spacieuse ainsi que la salle de bain. A notre arrivée la chambre n'était pas prête, nous avons pu laisser nos sacs à dos à la réception pour visiter la ville. Bien insonorisé à l'intérieur.

Notre chambre était très bruyante par rapport à l'extérieur (route très passante juste devant). Le rideau ne couvrait pas totalement la fenêtre qui était très grande, on avait le soleil en plein visage dès 6h. Les serviettes de bain étaient vraiment petites, c'était limite pour s'envelopper et se sécher avec. La cuisine est super, mais mériterait des ustensiles supplémentaires (peu de casseroles et de poêles par exemple). Nous n'avons pas particulièrement aimé l'emplacement : environ 15min de la Plaza de Los Ponchos, on doit monter et descendre le petit pont qui traverse la route à chaque fois... Fatigant et pas pratique.

Newly renovated facilities, great shower, beds and breakfast, perfect location near transportation

The staff was very kind, even when we arrived late at night, the property is newly renovated, the beds, furniture, bathroom, shower and everything looks like new or renovated, there's a great painting at the entry, really beautiful and related to Ecuador. The breakfast was nice, filling and made with fresh food, the location was perfect to arrive or leave by bus, in front is the main road to Quito and a few blocks from there there's the main bus terminal with buses going to almost anywhere in Ecuador, the city centre is at a walkable distance, we went to the artisans market on Saturday, great experience, overall, very recommended place to stay. Great value for the money

Nothing bad really, everything was perfect

Such a new, great hostel- the room, bathroom and kitchen were exceptional. I also loved the design. I needs a bit of time to walk to the city center, but that's okay. However, the bus terminal is near.

Amazing stay at The Traveler Hostel

Amazing stay at The Traveler Hostel. The staff were all lovely and super helpful, with information on what to do in and around Otavalo. Incredible kitchen facilities for cooking dinners, and a nice space next to reception to chill and watch a bit of Netflix if you fancy. Great location, being a 10 min walk from the town and also close to Waterfalls and bus stops for trips out to the surrounding area.

We have enjoyed our stay here very much and felt welcome every day. The staff is incredibly nice and kind, helps to organise daily activities and kindly accommodated our vegan diet at breakfast. And as we do not speak Spanish we appreciated that some of the staff spoke English, which we did not find often during our South America trip. The rooms were spotless and the facilities are comfortable and cozy. We highly recommend staying here when visiting Otavalo!!!

Everything is clean and the furniture and the rooms are very nice.

I was in room 3 and it was really noisy cause of the road in front and in the morning the whole room was very bright so I didn’t sleep very well

Lovely accommodation. Really clean inside, with a lovely, well equipped kitchen. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Beds were comfy (with lovely blankets, and extra duvets if the blanket isn't enough). Showers were hot, and spacious. Despite being close to the road, very little noise at night. Good location to walk to the waterfalls etc. Close to town, and the whole area felt safe.

Nothing, really! It really was as good as the reviews all suggested!

Safe, clean and comfortable. Nice included breakfast and good kitchen facilities to cook further meals. close to a supermarket and bus stop, and a 10/15 minute walk in to town. staff very helpful with options to WhatsApp questions in English or Spanish.

I think our room was newly made and it could have done with some finishing touches like a mirror in the bathroom and hooks

nice, clean and well organized hostel. Spacious with all the necessary (and clean) facilities.

Staff is helpful, but not always there, you can reach out to the owner through WhatsApp for more help. The sad thing is that it just doesn’t have the atmosphere and neither the approachable staff that a hostel really needs. Perfect for a good nights sleep, less so for hostel vibes.

Very comfortable, newly renovated

Everything was new and clean, showers had great water pressure and we enjoyed the porch a lot. Breakfast was very filling. Side of the hostel away from road was quiet. Near bus station.

The location is a bit out of the way, but it’s completely safe to walk to downtown even at night. Some small stuff: I wish there were more pans in the kitchen, and trash cans in the rooms.

The staff is so helpful and nice. The facilities are clean. The beds are very comfortable. The showers have hot water. I would have given this a lower review but the staff was amazing. they were doing construction on the second floor right above my room all day and until 9:30 pm. I complained about it multiple times, and they refunded me the room. They were so nice and humble and helpful about the noise, but everything in general. The owner is the nicest man.

The showers are designed dumb. The water points to the shower door, so everything gets wet.

convenient yet a bit disappointing vs expectations

+ modern, clean hostel + nice and helpful lady at the reception

- rooms communicate and we had a very noisy neighbor on the phone until very late - most comments mention how welcoming the owner is and he was not around, which was a bit disappointing
