Minka Hostel

This was a great place to start my time in Ecuador. The staff were open and welcoming, the location was perfect for me, the room was great, showers were fine, wifi worked and there was a large size locker. I arrived before check in time but was able to use all of the facilities and the staff were happy to answer all my questions. The area is quiet in the evening, so the hostel playing a film in the evening was an appreciated bonus. Highly recommended!

I'm not really sure there was anything. I think perhaps the shower was not overly hot, but that's all I can think of.

Great that they have separate showers, toilets and sink OUTSIDE the dormitory. A lot of hostals in Ecuador make the mistake of giving every dormitory it's own combined bathroom, which means you cant go to the toilet if someone is brushing their teeth, while other bathrooms may be unoccupied. Good kitchen, nice vibe. Beds ok but not superb.

You have to walk some stairs. It's probably safe to walk at night, but not much going on.
