Hostal La Terraza - Roof Terrace Overlooking The North and Historic Centre

The Breakfast

My room did not provide a view of the city.

La vista que tiene este hostal es impresionante, no tiene nada que envidiarle a los lugares más fancy de la ciudad, puedes cenar y desayunar con una vista preciosa al centro histórico. Los trabajadores son muy amables y serviciales, e incluso si tienes que salir un poco más temprano por un tour, si les avisas te pueden servir el desayuno un poco más temprano. Realmente es el mejor lugar para hospedarse en Quito!

First of all, the price was quite pleasant. I was solo, and the single room cost me 18 dollars. Nice view from the terrace, but that’s where all the positives end, and for me there were more negatives than positives.

As for the cons, here’s what stood out: 1. Payment is cash only, and there is no information about that anywhere. Luckily I had some dollars with me, because they didn’t accept my card. 2. My room was on the first floor (first floor after the lobby), room number 6. It was pretty noisy, you can hear everyone walking by. There are no windows facing outside, which means no natural light. Instead, there’s one small window facing the staircase — and because of that, it was bright all night from the corridor lights. 3. In the morning I couldn’t take a hot shower. I waited 10 minutes, and the water stayed cold the entire time. I don’t know, maybe there is no hot water at all. I ended up taking a quick cold shower because I had no choice, I was rushing to catch a bus. 4. Breakfast was a joke. A tiny sandwich with one slice of cheese. An omelet made from one egg. Instant coffee. That’s it. Honestly, I felt even hungrier after this “breakfast”, it only made me more hungry.
