Comfy and clean dorm, and the kitchen was clean too, first time I have experienced this with Selina!
Friendly team that work there
the wifi was really bad, no connection in rooms or away from reception, I burned through a stack of data.

great community building and comfort of a hotel
4.1
The breakfast during weekdays was good and most staff members were very friendly.
It just wasn’t Selina standard in any way.
We booked two nights in the same room, same room style and on the same booking but their system messed up and made it it into two separate bookings so we had to pack up and check out / check in again for two nights! The same thing happened when we booked through their own app for a Selina in Baños so it’s definitely a fault on their system.
We had a private room with shared bathroom on floor 3 on our first night and the bathroom on our floor was locked, we asked the receptionist but the answer was ‘oh yeah it was locked last night too, you can use the bathrooms on the other floors’. The wifi didn’t work at all from our room, it wasn’t even picked up as an option. The bedsheets in two rooms smelt like damp and one room smelt like cheesy feet - again just not Selina standard at all. The rooms were also absolutely freezing.
On weekends the breakfast turns into a buffet and it’s annoying as you get less options than you would on a weekday when you can pick from quite a few things on the menu.
4.1
Attentive and friendly staff
Very cool environment
I will recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Quito
4.1
location was good, the welcome drink is a nice touch and the breakfast was also pretty good
The room was pretty cold. The WiFi was so bad in the rooms which I find strange for a co-working hostel. We had a confusing exchange with a guy at reception when trying to extend our stay by one night, first telling us to come back and ask at checkout, then after a while he says the hostel is booked out fully (which it wasn’t as I could see the rooms available on booking.com). We returned an hour later and he was able to book us in so I’m not sure if he was just unhelpful or new and needed to ask for help. Also, I got food in the restaurant downstairs and my chicken was raw however the waitress was very nice and didn’t charge me for it. We’ve stayed in other Selina Hostels and this one just isn’t the same.
4.1
Basic room with comfy bed and bedding. Shared bathroom was clean and the shower good with hot water and the towels were large. Breakfast was good with a few options offered. Travel company within the hostel which we used and would recommend. There were social activities but I wouldn’t necessarily say it was a social social hostel. Room was quiet and having a lift was useful for luggage. Staff friendly on reception. Supermarket and ATMs nearby.
It’s about a 10/15 min Uber into the Old Town.
4.1
very nice and hospitable, the facilities were very comfortable.
sometimes, minimally, some of the staff were unsure how to process certain transactions. however, they managed to make it work. a non-issue for me, to be honest.
4.1
The place is beautiful, the room was spacious and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
The breakfast was extremely overpriced and ridiculously small
4.1
The hostel is very visually pleasing and the staff super friendly and helpful. I had dinner and breakfast which were both great. The lockers are also quite spacious.
The dorm room bathroom is actually a wet room and floods easily. The door to our dorm would not shut properly without a lot of force which woke others up. Similarly, my bedside lamp was broken, as was another travellers in our dorm.
4.1
The very best was the food! Excellent! And they have vegan options. There's lockers, curtains around the beds, a big mirror, spacious bathroom.. A little table with every bed and powerpoints. So basically all yoi need :) you can also refill your bottle at the reception.
It can get noisy. Didn't bother me, just saying :)

Welcome drink is a nice touch; staff were friendly
Although located in a fairly nice area, right across the street there was a somewhat sketchy little square. Relatively expensive.

Plenty of space in public areas
Uncomfortable beds and cold room

lack of heating
4.1
Everything was great. The staff was extremely nice and helpful with recommendations. The welcome drink was a nice touch. The included breakfast was nice and light. The common facilities we well designed and sheik.
We weren't warned that the gates were closed at night and you have to get the night staff's attention to open the door. Slightly inconvenient but other than that, no complaints.
